“Nokia brand to Disappear in 2012, HTC potential buyer” -_-
Let me get back up off my chair. Douglas A. McIntyre has written a piece published on yahoo news (provided by 247wallst) of 10 brands that will disappear in 2012. Number 10? Nokia.
He suggests it’s prime target for a take over. Here’s the punch line.
“Potential buyers would start with HTC, the fourth largest smartphone maker in the world.”
I wonder who his source is? Is it “that” guy that keeps saying Nokia will disappear and will be bought out by Microsoft and thinks the N9 is horrible despite the response of well a lot of the major tech media that is usually not fond of Nokia?
Other buyers listed include, Samsung and LG (and the aforementioned MS). Well, that’s before my grandmother makes a bid for Nokia. If they’re not buying Nokia, they may just buy Sony Ericsson, placed number 6.
Chris Ziegler (ex engadget editor, now part of the new emerging ThisIsMyNext) sums it all up (and he’s how I found this ‘story’)
Nokia’s shown with the N9 they’ve got what it takes to please, meet and exceed expectations. The new strategy is only just going to be played out in October, and 2012 is when phoenix rises out of the burning platform. N9 is a symbol of Nokia’s potential. It’s just a hint. Folks are making predictions based on past mistakes, but well, Nokia has learned and has shown with the N9 they’ve learned. 2012, they’ll show the doubters a thing or two. This NokiaFanboy hopes anyways :p

The guy is faltu.
I agree with you!
Guys like them want publicity they want at least people know the them n talk abt them
they just need public attention and Make weird or stupid news to attract traffic on web :p
@Jay: i don’t think every such faltu guys tweets are enough to disrupt the Nokia fans.
According to Finnish media, Elop said that N9 will be the only and last meego/maemo/harmattan device.
And he is certain that Windows-phone will succeed…. Not nokia-phone but WINDOWS-phone.
Meanwhile, there is no DIRECT quote that says that. Markets will decide?
But if true, ’tis a sad day in Nokialand. While I don’t mind the WP7 option, I’d rather see WP7 and MeeGo side-by-side.
Then why Elop using the words like “disruption, disruptive”. I don’t know whether they release or not but its depends upon the fan-boys. If device makes any sense to consumer more than a Win Phone than probably they have to look into the matters again.
LOL…
He is also talking about the “Sony Ericsson”..
Isn’t he really gonna mad?
Ios and android are just very scared of meego.
