The Best Nokia of all-time

It’s been a heck of a ride on the Nokia bus since late 90s and up to this very last minute. The “Matrix Phone”, the Communicator, the internal antenna, the VGA cameras, 2-megapixel, GPS, Carl Zeiss, and the list goes on… I’ve probably used a couple of phones that were out on the market before my first 3210 but it was then that I realized this is a world I needed to explore. Thoroughly, that is. 

Today, I work for Nokia. I guess I can say “mission accomplished”. But it doesn’t end here; on the contrary, this is where it stars getting interesting. You see, on the outside it’s about speculation, anticipation, testing out devices, tricking them out with all kinds of themes and apps and cool stuff, showing them off to your peeps, and tweaking their phones so they look something similar to your little monster. On the inside, it’s all about making things better, studying the market needs, testing devices to improve their performance, listening to enthusiasts and learning what they’d like to see in a device, getting all the apps you can find to check for compatibility issues, and most importantly living with devices that are yet to be revealed to the public eye, making sure you don’t forget them in a bar ;)

To cut it short and get to the point, I’ve got love for Nokia. Too much love. And today, I’m eager to ask you a question which I always ask myself without getting the right answer. 

The question to which I’d hope you reply with the least words possible is:

What is the best Nokia phone of all-time and why?

So, in your own words and below in the comments section, please share your thoughts with everyone. BUT… make it concise, because I know too well that we can keep talking about a phone’s features for hours when maybe one or two features of it make all the difference.

To give you an example, check out the below:

-        - I’d say it’s the E71; it was and still is the classiest business phone Nokia has ever designed. Robust, fast, and it did it all for me.

-        - N95, no competition there. It was the only phone that did so much in such a small design 3 years ago.

-        - N900 because it’s simply a micro-computer.

Now I’m sure you can come up with a better explanation each time, I’m just trying to give you some guidance. It’ll make it easier for me to filter the answers and understand your thoughts.

To me it’s not just one phone. Each phone had an era and not the other way around. E71 was amazing for certain people while the N95 could do it all but without the QWERTY keyboard. So which one is better? I can’t say. Each one had fans, devoted users. This is where you guys come in. You are here to tell me which phone you think is the best and why. The N86 might be your favorite but it’s probably not the best, right? Maybe the N82 was the best. Maybe the N79 (I love that phone). Maybe the E71 was…or the E90. Maybe it’s the N8. It’s up to you to tell me what that phone was, while trying to be as objective as you can. If you’re in love with a pink 5530, it doesn’t make it the best phone ever, does it now? ;)

If you're asking yourself why I'm doing this, it's simply because I'm a blogger, I watch and "listen" to my Twitter timeline most of the day, and I love to interact with my readers. Call it analysis or call it Josh; I just like to hear what you have to say about this. 

So, are you ready?! Go ahead, tell me, what is the best Nokia phone of all-time and why?
