I will never again buy a Nokia phone.
- btilly 14y agoGiven the proliferation of Android and the iPhone, you probably wouldn't have anyways.
- aleprok 14y agoMaybe that might be so, but I still had Nokia until 2 weeks ago and still won't have either Android or iPhone. Thing is basically until now I have only used Nokia phones and that might be somewhat understandable when I say I'm Finnish.. Anyway security should never be exchanged for speed.
- hbharadwaj 14y agoYou do realize Nokia Lumia phones have IE as well as Xpress? This issue affects Xpress alone. You could use IE without any of this affecting you.
- dscrd 14y agoThe Lumias have this Xpress thing?! Why?
- hbharadwaj 14y agoEssentially, Nokia improves webpage load performances by utilizing data compression algos on their servers through Xpress - similar to Opera and Amazon Silk. In between, Nokia decrypts HTTPS traffic - Opera and Amazon apparently don't. So, effective use of Xpress could be limited to articles (The Verge), magazines and mailbox use could be done through IE or through the mail app. The problem is limited on the Lumia phones but it is a bigger deal just on their S40 phones.
- aleprok 14y agoThis is about trust and not about the one browser.
- Permit 14y agoWow Jesus Christ. This isn't the default on Nokia phones. You'd have to specifically NOT use the default browser and download the Nokia browser to be exposed to this.
- zurn 14y agoNo, this is with the default browser on the lower end phones. For Lumia it's an optional download, but then again the Lumia markets don't have to worry so much about big brother.
