Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

Always wondered about this. I guess it could be seen as an indication of which model the senior management team rates as the best of breed.

You can just imagine the final salary negotiations:

"Ok Mr Elop, so it a $1 million basic salary, shares, pension, health plan, laptop, company car and mobile phone. What sort of phone would you like from our expansive range Mr Elop?"

"Errrr, I'll take the........"

N8
N900
Iphone
LG
Samsung
HTC

i somehow feel that he is using a Nokia E7...

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

From what he's said in interviews about the OS I assume he'd like to use a WM7 phone. However I assume his employment contract means he uses an N8?

Given that he mentioned in the same interview that he would like to see a mobile w/o any buttons on the front it seems he's never even seen, let alone used, a N900 as if he did surely he would know it is buttonless??

@OP: You do realize that for a guy with $1M annual salary, phone expense is very small in comparison? If it comes to be negotiated at all, I'd imagine it would come from the Vertu range.

If he's a hands on type a guy (and I hope he is, for Nokia's sake), then he should be using the latest Nokia's flagship phone...

Someone should explain to him that buttons are very useful on a phone and are part of the reason for the popularity of Nokia devices amongst non-geeks (caveat: outside of US, that is).

most of the nokians i have seen off hand in videos(ie not demoing a product) are usually e72 lately. there are a lot of good features and easy to provision from a backend for a large company type device.

probably not the excitement you were looking for,lol. I bet the rank and file will switch to E7 soon if they havent already.

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

He saying that he wants a phone with no buttons mean he have never seen N900? How did you come to that conclusion?
I honestly do find it funny how him working for Microsoft for under 2 years makes him Ballmer himself. :D He has worked in a higher position and longer for example Adobe and Macromedia.

He's using the Nokia Morph of course :)

woooow thats really impressing....

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

Would have paid good money to see the Nokia HR guys face when Elop responded "Got any phones with Windows 7?"

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

That is what OPK is still using, even after he got kicked out of Nokia.

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

I'd say Elop has a Vertu.

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

Mobira Cityman 900. Because it's more of a phone than an N900.

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

if i was on elop's boots, i would make sure i have all brands and models in my office... to benchmark what the tech-directors bring in

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

From memory the interviewer pulled out an N8 and Elop told him it had one too many buttons and in his view it should have no buttons. he didn't respond with "no, it should be like the N900" which other posters on this forum suggested that meant he had never even seen an N900.

Like wise it was Elop who referred to the WM7 OS being what he saw has the future, which has nothing to do with his time at MS, unless he designed the OS whilst he was with them!!!

Re: Which phone does Elop use.......?
 

I already don't like this CEO...I really hope Nokia won't go with WM7. And the N8 has too many buttons..is he serious??
