Here’s a question for you. If you’re product is fantastic, really truly brilliant in almost all ways – the way it played music, the connectivity, the incredible new feature that gives you a lifetime license for the turn-by-turn and voice-guided navigation software that you’re really proud of – but, but but but, had one little flaw (such as, say, the screen not being so hot outdoors / in the sun), then when you made a video about that product, would you

A. Make sure that flaw is not seen at all

B. Ensure that if that flaw has to be seen, it’s the briefest, least noticeable scene in the whole film

C. Make the scene that shows of this one little flaw long, tedious and so painfully revealing that anyone who watches the film will come away thinking only of that one flaw.

If you answered C. then congratulations! You too can be employed by Nokia some time very soon. Because as this Nokjia 5800 navigation review amply demonstrates, as does this official page, the Nokia 5800 Navigator edition is a truly brilliant phone. But, just like its not-quite-but-almost identical twin the 5800 XpressMusic, the screen doesn’t fair all that well in direct sunlight. So, you know, it might have been maybe a good idea TO NOT TAKE THE THING OUT IN BRIGHT SCANDINAVIAN SUNLIGHT AND THEN STICK A CAMERA RIGHT UP CLOSE SO ALL YOU CAN SEE IS THE CAMERA’S REFLECTION AND HOW BADLY THE SCREEN IS DEALING WITH THE SUNLIGHT YOU FLAMING IDIOTS.

See, see how simple it is? Now if someone could just explain it to the Finns we’ll be alright in the future, fingers crossed.
