To Kinetic Scroll Or Not To Kinetic Scroll
Rumors have been spreading today across the blogsphere about the N97 Nokias “flagship” device and its next F/W and a possibility of Kinetic scrolling across the board of the devices UI. Thats every screen YES i said every screen. Now this was also a rumor that was mentioned for the 5800′s last F/W update and it didn’t happen so will it happen now? Well only time will tell, and in my opinion it should have happened before the device was ever released but this is Nokia were talking about here always behind the 8 ball to quote a friend in the blogging community and I have never heard a truer word spoken. They always seem to get there but just to late, the device has been launched all those looking to purchase have taken a look already they have made there choice and spent there money, did this put any consumers of well I bet it did have they made there remarks already sure they have time and time again, will this effect peoples judgment?

You bet it will so as time ticks and tocks even those that played a safety card and purchased anyhow knowing Nokia’s past present and future gameplay (we’ll get there eventually) may be the lucky ones but the launch buzz is over the blogging has moved on to the next big thing. As some will know F/W updates are the life blood of your device well this is something Nokia lead in, there software support of there devices is second to NONE and this is the only reason people stick by them not because there devices are cutting edge not because the CPU is the stronger not because there’s plenty of RAM or phone memory because if you look around there’s stronger faster devices on the market running the same s60v5 O/S the difference is these other “un-named” companies just don’t support there devices with software updates like Nokia do. Kinetic? or no Kinetic that is the question? well we will only have to wait a short while and see the first F/W for this device was only 2 weeks after its launch here in the EU the device has been on sale in the EU for a little over 6 weeks now and already there’s talk about a second YES second F/W update.

after having used the s60v5 for a long time now, i feel that its time to RIP the os. But if nokia can pull this off then, i feel it may still have a chance.

Man You should definitely look at using some punctuations in your post. It was damn difficult to read it properly. May be some full stops and some commas, some para breaks could have helped.
Nonetheless good topic, Kinetic Scrolling is a big YES.
