my 2-cents: I actually think Nokia could be on the up. Most companies like this have a problem with their departments lacking communication, or lack guardians that ensure each aspect is unified and works properly - and Nokia may never have this; however if they stick to the platform and strive for better quality on delivery and innovation it could work out alright.
I thought Nokia were going to bite the dust, but then I remembered consumers are fickle... if Nokia release something that looks sexy, and works well, they will be back oki. As long as they keep symbian going for the low-fi robust cheap phone market (that is still at large).
Also I really appreciate the insight on Tomi from nl... thanks!

I kind of agree with you but the Lumia 800 is a really good device on all sides but I coudln't find it in the color I wanted. Nobody cared at the shops and I was a weirdo to them for shopping a device they don't believe in..
Mine was the opposite experience. I had played with WP7 and I thought that it was a fantastic OS and would look and work great on a great phone. Nokia always used to make fantastic phones so I was looking forward to the Lumia, but quite frankly it just looks like a brick.
There's a certain sleekness to it, and given how annoying it can be to develop for Android and iOS I think they could win over a load of developers who like .NET and C#, but to me it feels like Nokia failed Microsoft, and quite rightly they'll suffer the consequences.
If Nokia release a phone that looks amazing and is fully-featured I can see them snagging back some market share, especially when Windows 8 ties in with mobile. Additionally, if they can create a great phone with a low price tag they could land the cheap smartphone market. A good Windows phone would probably beat the cheap Android phones with ease. Ideally, Nokia would have initially taken this financial hit before these horrible figures came through.
Would be nice though if contact information and info about the company was easier to get to. It is only available on the initial page or after scrolling through the entire portfolio (at least I couldn't find it anywhere else). At least if the site were designed to draw in business, that would be the case. It definitely is not obvious.
The problem you are trying to solve is impossible to solve by modifying the contents of an email.
The problem is not that people can forward emails, the problem is that an untrustworthy person has been given valuable data.
You could press printscreen, take a photo... anything you do to that email can be overcome.
This doesn't mean your development has been in vein, I am sure you have learnt a huge amount executing this, and it is great to share it. Very impressed, thank you!
Njix is right, but don't let the flaws in this experiment prevent you from sharing and building more projects.
He does point out a valuable lesson, do not try and fix a problem from one area with another, which applies a lot in development... I see people fixing CSS rendering issues with JS for instance.
Harsh really, they get lumped with a bill that they don't want and will cost them money to maintain, and annoy their customers... and they get DDOS'd
