Nokia has gone insane

If you are watching some television these days, you might have seen this commercial that Nokia is running.

It probably highlights a stupid app they have on their Symbian platform. I have no interest in investigating any further.

While Apple and Google highlight useful mobile apps on their mobile platform… This is the best Nokia has for all of us.

No wonder, Nokia is a dying platform. Some people would not agree with me… But if you are seeing the global trends… Nokia has lost it completely. Even Woz agrees!

Is Priyanka Chopra cheating on Nokia with the Apple iPhone?

I am slightly confused here. By some insane coincidence, I landed on the ‘verified’ Twitter account of Priyanka Chopra.


It’s over!! Finally my prosthetics make up parts r over!! Two more days and it’s a film wrap on saat khoon maaf!! My toughest film yet!!less than a minute ago via Twitterrific

Typical celebrity account.

However, I was somewhat amused to see that she is using Twitterrific to tweet.

I checked Twitterrific website. It is only available for Apple Mac, Apple iPad and Apple iPhone.

Now, her account also has some posts from ‘web’. So, I assume she uses the Twitter website itself if she is on a computer.


good mornin guys… woke up super early and now my cal time delayed.. shud i try a half an hr nap??less than a minute ago via web

This tells me something. Priyanka Chopra is most likely using an Apple branded smartphone. That is the iPhone.

And from what I remember, she advertises for Nokia. Not sure if her deal with Nokia has ended.

Something is really fishy here. Nokia PR folks should be alarmed.

PS. Feel free to comment below if I have missed out on something.

Update 1

I needed to update this post… Priyanka Chopra tweeted last night:


Happy 15th bday to nokia!! I have sooo many amazing memories attached with nokia!! My first phone to my last!!! Here’s to Many more years!less than a minute ago via Twitterrific

She is congratulating Nokia. And the tweet was posted using Twitterrific. She could have been using a Mac. But I am still guessing she uses an iPhone. She was in Gurgaon last night for the launch of Culture Gully. I doubt, she would be tweeting from a laptop (or even the Apple iPad) while traveling.

Nokia 6275 on Tata Indicom

Tata Indicom sells this mobile phone model for Rs. 10,000. They have been selling this model at this price for like 2 years. They have not dropped the price or made any modification. They have not even launch an updated model or any other decent model in this price range.

The phone has a decent camera but the software sucks. It is also very slow. Browsing through the menu is painful. Operating the camera functionality is painfully slow. Practically it sucks.
