So again, does anyone have any background info about these guys? What makes...

Re: JollaMobile : Jolla continues Nokia's excellent work on #MeeGo based smartphones

I am excited and hope that this goes somewhere. However, it is not easy to succeed in this industry, at least if you wanna be a little it more than a niche player within a small niche (i.e. meego...

Re: The Sotiris Makyrgiannis (@melsop74) Appreciation Thread

I had the N800 and it hooked me to Nokia / Linux. I loved the N900 with its capabilities and sometime quirkiness. But I could see what is possible to build based on the Maemo foundation – if only...

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!

There is no money in Nokia shares. Unless you are short, everyone lost holding NOK shares.

NOK closed at $2.89 at the NYSE today, down another 5% from yesterday. Down after they presented their...

Well, I and some analysts beg to differ (not that I give a lot about other analysts, but I give a lot about my own opinion :D).

Re: For Lumiaman - 101 Reasons Not to Buy WP7.5

Re: For Lumiaman - 101 Reasons Not to Buy WP7.5

This list is hard to believe. I played with a Lumia and did not find the phone interesting, just nothing for me.

But I was not aware that WP7 is that bad. Incredible.

Re: Nokia N9 discontinued today in Finland

Volt, after using the N900 for well over 2 years I finally gave in and got the N9. Definitely an expensive device, and not an N900. But very pleasing and beautiful. I already found some quirks, like...

Re: I just pulled the trigger and bought a 64GB Black International n9 from Amazon. I have Tmobile US

So, I got weak yesterday and ordered the 64GB N9 from Amazon. I fear this will be the last Nokia in my collection, after having been a Nokia customer for many many years.

I had fun with the N800,...

Re: Nokia ends phone assembly in Europe

You are absolutely right with sub-contractors and cost. However, there is another cost that needs to part of the equation: Brand value.

Maybe 15 years or so ago, Philips was one of the largest TV...

Nokia ends phone assembly in Europe

Hardly surprising, sad anyway, Another European "manufacturer" leaves Europe for good and assembles phones solely in Asia.

For me it is just another reason to see Nokia as what is it, a large...

Re: Microsft planning to buy nokia!

Nokia's patent portfolio would be the crucial factor here. IF MS buys the smartphone unit, what would happen to the patents? If Nokia sells away (most of) the smart phone patents, it would be...

Re: HP says bye bye to WEebOS hardware

Now that would resolve Nokia's problems in a minute. Nokia back in business and RIM dead immediately.

Re: HP says bye bye to WEebOS hardware

I read it that HP is spinning off their PC business. In this case an HP tablet does not make much sense, neither does a HP branded smart phone.

It is telling that the largest manufacturer of PCs...
