Is Android just a “Temporary” relief?

Remember last week when we reported Nokia’s sales? The one showing them outselling Apple and Google’s Android platform? Yea, that one.

Well, Anssi Vanjoki, EVP and GM of Mobile Solutions for Nokia, was quoted saying some other stand-out things, and frankly they were pretty hilarious. He was quoted comparing the Android platform to when Finnish boys pee their pants for warmth, saying:

“they were likely to enjoy only temporary relief with Google’s operating system… this temporary relief is similar to Finnish boys who pee in their pants for warmth during the cold winter”.

I think this is funny on so many levels. Nokia is known to be the butt of many-a -joke in the mobile sector for their Symbian OS (and lack of desire to change it), so to outsell their competition earns some bragging rights, and what better way to be a diplomatic winner than to insult the competition! I say enjoy the glory Nokia, it may not last too long.

    Really? I switched from Blackberry to Android NOT that symbian crap. I had only one symbian phone out of the hundreds I have owned and that was enough for me. My future phones will be (Again) Android or possibly the new OS7. Unless Blackberry gets back into the game with a real operating system they would also be a consideration but never again will it be symbian, yuck.

    Funny, I couldn’t agree more. However, as un-popular as Symbian is in North America, it is really that popular in Europe and the Middle East.
    The numbers aren’t surprising, neither is the response from Nokia lol

    I am a 16 year Marine Corps veteran and have years spent overseas in almost every location imaginable. So I do have some understanding of this however, balut is a delicacy in the Philippines. Trust me if you have not grown up with this little treat, you DO NOT want to be at the table when someone cracks one of these puppies. Point is just because its popular, doesn’t always mean that it is good :) .
