Tomi Ahonen on “load of crap” incompetent mobile reporting from Forbes

Tomi Ahonen, the Don of mobile industry analysis, is seriously unimpressed by the article, ‘Nokia’s Motorola Moment‘ published by Parmy Olson on Forbes.com.

Parmy echos the North American viewpoint that Nokia is all-over-the-place and going nowhere.

Tomi was having none of it:

What a load of crap. Rarely have I read a major publication get essentially all of its points so totally wrong. What is wrong with Forbes editors and Parmy Olson to not do the simplest, most basic research into the facts. Lets go through them one by one.

Tomi then goes on to pull every single point to pieces.

Really incompetent reporting, shame on you Forbes. Lets go on, it gets worse.

I can see Tomi positively frothing at the mouth, making this comment:

Big shift to web browsing. Yes, there is a big shift to web browsing. But Parmy Olson, Apple did not invent this shift. Apple did not cause this shift. Apple did not originate this shift. Apple did not expose this shift.

Fly over to Tomi’s post and have a read. But first, make sure you’ve got a coffee and a biscuit.
