Riiiiiiiiiight.
The company that is launching with a known-defective camera and promising a fix at a future date is more trustworthy than the company launching with a phone that's been confirmed flawless by reviewers.
Goodness me. My ears are blushing from the gall of it!
I think it's great that Nokia has acknowledged a problem and promised a fix, but seems like if the camera is the big selling point they would have tested it and fixed the problem before releasing the phone to the public.
The camera is broken -- otherwise it wouldn't need a "fix."
To be serious for a rare moment, it's just more evidence of how badly this launch has been executed. Easily the most incompetent tech launch since the Osborne II. Launch a phone differentiated almost entirely by its camera, then concede in public that the camera doesn't perform well in daylight but "a fix is coming."
Yeesh.
Oh, and boys -- if you don't want me winding you up, don't drop my name in public
Of course it's not a bad camera at all and I would love to have that phone, but with the pureview name and all the hype regarding the camera it should be the best in daylight too. No way the iPhone should be better.The "problem" is that it isn't the BEST in full daylight.
It's not like it's a bad camera.
It totally kicks everyone else's butt in low light.
