Nokia hates Mac users
December 18, 2007
I recently purchased a brand new Nokia N810. There's a new OS update available for it, but Nokia requires you to install the update using either Windows or Linux.
There is no support for Mac OS X! I called the Nokia store in Chicago and they said Nokia builds its products for Windows users, not Mac users!
I'm going to review the device soon, but just wanted to warn other Mac users to avoid Nokia products unless you have access to a Windows machine.
It's annoying to think that some pointy haired corporate bozo at Nokia thinks it's OK to ignore Mac users. I say "fuck Nokia". This is the last Nokia product I will ever buy.

well traditionally apple hates rest-of-the-world system users, even using dirty tricks such as buying the software and stopping the development for other platforms (Logic Audio, for example) So I guess this is some kind of justice :)

This is not totally accurate, Nokia does have support for Mac since some time now. They ported their PC Suite to the Mac and here's Nokia's page for Mac support: http://europe.nokia.com/A4423133.
This is true however that the Nokia N810 doesn't have an updater that runs on Macs.
