In this video interview, UK celebrity, high profile tech personality and self confessed mac evangelist, Stephen Fry talks briefly about smartphones. Fry: “It’s a shame for dear old Symbian which has not kept up with the times at all, and Sony Ericsson and Nokia are revealling themselves giants as they were to be so behind the curve in this department they may suffer as a result” Interviewer: It’s a shame, I love my Nokia Fry: MMMM! Interviewer: A car run over mine Fry: “We all owed so much to Nokia. I mean, they sort of set the standard to so much that we came to expect from…I remember when the move to GSM came, and Nokia suddenly were really innovating all the time and just proves the endless truth that you can’t sit still in this business” I’m not sure when this video was taken, but it was at least on or before 22nd October (check out other clips in the series).
