Why so much hate on Nokia?
5 comments

Because using fake stills is something people are not happy about?
Because clearly, they lie about what their products can do.
People have done that since the dawn of radio adverts and billboards...
Which doesn't mean it shouldn't be penalized.
Because from love to hate there is only one step. When you trust someone or something you don't want to be taken advantage of.

A friend of mine loved his Nokia's phones. He always bought Nokia for 10 years during his teenage years because they were very good phones. He had good memories of those times.

He wished he could buy Nokia again, get super enthusiastic with the videos and now he discovers that he has been fooled. F*ck them!!

This stinks of Microsoft. Only one of their ad agencies could put together such a soulless dramatization of a couple's date night.
Because this is HN, which is heavily anti-MS and where people cling to their iPhones and Android devices and love to hate on the platforms they don't use.

Or else why would the actual announcement articles get only around 30-40 points(which were later flagged off the front page anyway!) but this one is already close to 200 points. Winsupersite.com is hell banned on HN from even being submitted because of the haters flagging articles to death. Go figure.
