Ads of multicolored devices featuring content that matches the enclosure? Who would've thunk it? http://cl.ly/image/1U3i2F2v2r43 http://cl.ly/image/1U3i2F2v2r43

  I actually played with a 620 for a day or two. Once you will hold them both in your hand it will make sense.

  Those are all just staged for ads (unless you think you can't listen to the Beatles Red Album on a blue nano and vice versa) except for the latest one, which came out after the Nokia devices. I'm sure someone did it before (I seem to recall IE5 letting you change the interface to match the early iMac colours) but your comment (and a quick glance at the linked image) is misleading as it stands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac#Internet_Explorer_5_for_Mac_distinguishing_features http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer_for_Mac#Inter...

    He's pointing out that Nokia's claim of copying them with colors (lol) is weak.

    The Nokia is staged for ads too. You can change the highlight color to be whatever you want. Additionally, many WP apps have a solid colored tile that doesn't respect the user's color choice.

Actually pretty classy and makes a great point. +1 Nokia.

Not sure I agree with Nokia's formulation of the saying. I prefer "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery", which makes a lot more sense. Imitation isn't the best form of flattery - it's actually quite an irritating form of it - but it is the sincerest form (since, unlike verbal flattery, it's rarely feigned: you imitate because a thing is worth imitating, not to flatter the imitatee).
