At this point we do0nt know if its a scewup or on anybody's part or not it s all rumors And if it is a screwup we dont definitively know if its Nokia or ATT? or maybe its a problem at the FCC.
So far the
official Nokia screw up tally is only
one. But it's a big one. They announced the 900 inthe U.S. to much fanfare and praise and over 60 days later they have said absolutely nothing about it. It doesnt matter why there's a holdup (NOK/ATT/FCC/whatever)...that's a big screw-up all by itself from a marketing/PR perspective and I dont see how anyone can reasonably argue that it was ok for Nokia to go any longer than MWC and just say nothing.
The
unofficial Nokia screw-up tally is much larger of course; and to your point, these ther items are highly subjective:
1. Sitting back and letting internet media rumors jerk your customers around from rumored release date to rumored release date while never stepping in to say anything
2. Waiting at least 60 days to launch a product after announcement. I call that a major screw-up, others try to argue that customers like that much of a heads-up.
3. They go to MWC and launch the 900 around the world, allow release dates for those phones to be rumored in April, hold umpteen press conferences, and meanwhile act like the US announcement never even happened. No follow up, nothing. This one is related to the offical screw-up above, the differentiator here being that they rubbed it in our noses by spending so much time at MWC on Lumia...just not the one we're waiting for.
4. This fail goes to the press: how do they let NOK hold these press conferences at MWC and not ask the question about the 900's US launch
5,6 ,7...there's probably more...
