    Nokia makes great hardware, but their software is so frustrating: constantly bugging about which Internet connection to use, constantly asking for permission, no startup apps, no way to automatically schedule syncing, etc.

    After many Nokia phones (E50, N73, N82, E90, E71), I’m just not going to buy another one. I’m waiting for an Android phone with nice hardware.
