Nokia closed their online shops in France, Spain and the Netherlands as of 31st of May. In those three countries potential Nokia buyers no longer have the ability to buy straight from Nokia. Nokia has not given a reason as to why the shops are closed but presumably it wasn’t profitabel anymore to keep them [...]
If you’ve been following the whole patent wars over the past couple of months you might remember Apple that was sueing a lot of other companies and in turn Apple was sued by those same companies for different things. One of the bigger lawsuits was one between Nokia and Apple, more info can be found [...]
While browsing the usual techsites during some time of doing nothing my interest was drawn by, well, a cheap shot by Nokia. Their departement in India started a new marketing campaign that’s called: iDoalotmore. It is good to see Nokia advertising their features, there is no one that can deny the fact that Symbian has [...]
Update: Video back up. Cheers Shlomi and Moritz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuDwI7ztJQE -> Officially available now: Anna update Video Well, well, well. Just when you would start to believe PR2.0 or Anna would be months away we just received a tip from Fahoum that it probably won’t be so far away after all. Nokia uploaded some videos about [...]
This news just came in via TheNextWeb, Nokia apparantly lost one big asset in the form of Tommi Laine-Ylijoki, the former VP of Materials. What Tommi exactly did at Nokia is probably a bit of a mystery to most of us, however one can guess what his day to day operations consisted of. As far [...]
Remember that ambitious plan for a big embedded European OS? No? Well it was a project to build an embedded OS for Europe and was to be built by the Symbian foundation. Allaboutphones is now reporting that project has been cancelled, there have been no payments from the EU to the Symbian Foundation and probably [...]
Thanks to our hawkeyed readers that keep tabs on everything Nokia related and more we received a tip from dietyyli that the ever entertaining Eldar Murtazin tweeted that Microsoft is planning to buy Nokia’s mobile division, this year. When, why and how this all will happen remains a mystery at this time, it’s just another [...]
Following up on our recent IDC related articles, here is another one. One that is somewhat troubling to read for Nokia fans. Nokia lost it’s number one position as smartphone vendor in Europe, traditionally one of the strongest markets for Nokia. What do the figures say then? Let’s start with some history and the numbers [...]
There has been a lot of talk about what OS shipped what amount of units and how well or how bad that particular OS did. Symbian was clearly visible in every chart and so was its declining market share. But where was Windows Phone? Is it such a failure that it doesn’t even register on [...]
Adnan just tipped us with the news that the X7 is available for pre-order in Germany right now for a fairly reasonable €459 launch price, give it a month and it is down to €359 through different vendors. All the usual things apply; 680Mhz ARM11 processor 256MB RAM a gorgeous 4 inch screen and lets [...]
In follow up of our article about the entire mobile phones sales past quarter we can now also see the numbers for the smartphone market. Like expected, the total shipped volume grew by a staggering 80% once again proving that smartphones are becoming exepted. In just a year time we can see just how popular [...]
IDC has just published their research of phone sales in the first quarter of this year. The total units shipped grew by nearly 20% compared to the same quarter last year. Biggest winner is Apple with a growth of over 100%, biggest loser is LG with a 10% drop in shipped units. While the numbers [...]
With the much anticipated Anna update to Symbian there is something ‘big and important’ coming to Symbian: a portrait keyboard. Considering it took Nokia a while to even show a preview of it or even have it in devices, one can imagine the time that should go into developing a good QWERTY keyboard. Unfortunatly though [...]
