So the Nokia N97<\/a> was a bit of a disaster<\/a>. Normally, companies pretend that all of their products are great, even when they aren't. But one Nokia VP is willing to admit that the N97 was a steamer.<\/p>

Nokia's VP of Markets Anssi Vanjoki recently said in an interview that the N97 was a \"tremendous disappointment in terms of the experience quality for the consumers and something [they] did not anticipate.\" How refreshingly candid!<\/p>

Of course, he's using such candidness as an excuse to claim that they've learned their lesson and are working to make the N97 a real contender via firmware updates. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it might be a little late for firmware to save the N97, but if Nokia really is learning from its mistakes, bring on the next gen devices.
