It appears that Nokia is not too pleased with the early harsh review of their Nokia N8 smartphone and its Symbian^3 OS that Eldar Murtazin gave the other day, which you can remind yourself of by going (here).
According to a report over on engadget, a new blog post over at Nokia Conversations reveals that Nokia says Murtazin’s “salacious headlines” covered up that he had hold of a very early pre-production prototype Nokia N8 which also carried dated software which is not ready.
Nokia also says that they only ship products which are “refined, tested, re-tested, evaluated, tested again and then shipped when satisfied.”
Of course Eldar Murtazin responds with that the Nokia N8 he examined had the latest software and hardware, so currently it’s all a bit of tit for tat; however Nokia simply can’t deny that they have in the past shipped some not really ready smartphones for example the Nokia N900 along with Maemo5. Still no doubt once the Nokia N8 gets into other reviewers hands we’ll find out whether Nokia or Murtazin is correct.
