The main reason I chosen Nokia as my mobile (E71) was this little gadget WidSets. It was an excellent little apparatus that formatted the web into little widgets. I could easily use my favorite internet data only with few clicks. Stuff like Finnish news, Bus schedules, Wikipedia, Facebook, few internet magazines etc. I have used it something like 3 years about 3-5 times a day.
Few days ago the Corporate decided to close the whole service. It “evolved” into Nokia Ovi Store. What a mother lode of bullshit. Instead of using the service I can now buy some useless little apps. When things comes to marketing there’s one rule above all and that’s: “Do not lose the trust of a customer”. This is what exactly happened here. I don’t know how much the number of users was at this point but few years ago it was 5 million and now they simply killed the whole thing.
Nokia is the backbone of Finnish economics, but fuck’em. I’ll probably select iPhone for my next cellphone. The thrust trust is gone.
The thrust is gone :D
Yeah, can’t understand the move to Ovi Store. I used WidSets many times every day from the beginning and I haven’t found anything like WidSets from the Ovi Store.
So now it’s only Opera Mini browsing with my N95.
And what about the 1,000+ links I had stored on widsets – just gone! :-(
Hi, we are working on a similar service as widsets has been but with more possibilities for developers. We want your help with feedback on where to take our service. please join and give us feedback
The only application I used daily on my Nokia and now its gone.
As you have said one of the unique selling points for nokia has just gone and next time I look for a phone the iPhone is going to look a whole lot more attractive
Guess I am not the only one T.T, widsets the best app I ever used on my n95 is gone T.T
