This article was sent in by Aabir Jawaid from Pakistan. For 12 years since the age of 10 he’s been using Nokia phones. In this post, he sums up tomorrow’s make or break moment for Nokia. ____________________ Nokia and Microsoft are loading up for their best shot for tomorrow’s big day to re enter the market [...]
We received an email from MNB Reader and Nokia fan, Musadar,which included a heartfelt message to Nokia fans. It asks pretty much for the infighting between fans to stop, to move on from the past and to begin celebrating the positives at Nokia again. It’s a nice message though I do understand how [...]
I got this email from someone called Parasaran Kumar his experience of Symbian Nokia handsets and how they stack up to Android. We’ve not featured him before at MNB Reader Generated. There is no edit to this, just some slight formatting. Android or Symbian? People will fall about laughing if I say Symbian, [...]
This news was reported some time ago now, but I wasn’t ready to publish it as some sections of statcounter was still saying Symbian was still slightly ahead (e.g. month view vs week view vs day view). We’ve explained before and as Janne mentions below: 1) Finland – small population 2) Statcounter is all the [...]
Michael wrote up a fantastic piece earlier on his Q&A with Jolla. In that we learned that in the next 5 years, Jolla don’t want to simply be a small niche company but a significant volume player. Muerte shares some interesting news below of Jolla ramping up the heat. It seems that they (Jolla) are [...]
Here’s Janne’s second post today for our MNB Reader generated entries; this time on a surprising Nokia branded nail polish. Gimmick? Yes? Fun? Maybe. It’s an interesting angle to pursue. You know how everyone always jokes about Nokia making tyres or toilet paper? Well, they don’t do either anymore, tyres were spun off years ago [...]
I was about to write up the story on the 808 also not being made fast enough to meet demand, but 808 user and Nokia fan, Janne is already on the case: Nokia’s communications manager Tapani Kaskinen tells the interest has surprised Nokia, who was not building enough of the phone – the problem was [...]
This is Janne’s latest heads up, following the progress of Lumia in Finland with statcounter. Just to repeat again, statcounter is an estimate of market share through browser usage on a particular OS of all current handsets in use not just those sold in a particular time frame. As we’ve been wondering what the Windows [...]
Another post from Janne. We had a brief look at the earnings call yesterday through Stefan but now the full transcript is available. There’s legitimate fears that with MS’s news on WP8, Lumia sales would crash in Q3. Nokia’s aware of this and will take measures either to maintain or even possible grow Lumia shipments [...]
The Q2 2012 report today brought some interesting discussion regarding Nokia’s location platform in our comment sections. Janne has written an excellent article below outlining the the importance of this location platform at Nokia, and in particular it’s role in the automotive industry. We’ve previously heard Ford and Nokia teaming up to bring a smarter [...]
Here’s a comment from jiipee at our comment section. Suprise, suprise! I’ve got something positive on Elop I already posted this to a blog, but here it comes: “Don’t agree with guys who claim Elop is the worst CEO ever. He has brought lot of fresh ideas how to do things.” https://twitter.com/eeropenttinen/status/224141846354468864 Eero used to be [...]
Earlier today we had a post covering some info about Jolla Mobile. There was a video interview with Jolla’s CEO which Muerte translates below. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/07/09/jollas-meego-based-phone-with-new-ui-coming-this-year/comment-page-2/#comment-612431 – Jolla was established by Nokia’s bridge project (most likely IPR transfered as well) – Fruitful co-operation in both ways (Jolla-Nokia) – They are an independent company – [...]
This is a follow up by Janne to yesterday’s post. This is a little more of a broader overview as opposed to just looking at two extremes, Finland (very small population) and China (huge population). Yesterday we took a look at the growth of Lumia in Finland (http://mynokiablog.com/2012/06/21/mnb-rg-finnish-lumia-growth-in-june-exceeds-may/). In a comment jiipee suggested that we [...]
This was written in by Janne who updates us about the rate of Lumia/WP growth in Finland. Finland Lumia growth for June in StatCounter has this week finally exceeded the rate of growth in May, and sits now at around 9% market-share of existing devices (network use). http://gs.statcounter.com/#mobile_os-FI-monthly-201201-201206 This means that that for the first [...]
We got this email from Martyn saying that he’s played around with the Nokia Lumia 900 in stores and how there’s pre-orders available for the limited edition The Dark Knight Rises Batman etched Nokia Lumia 900. You get Free cinema tickets with every purchase plus a chance to win VIP tickets to the premiere. You [...]
This was more of a tip but Janne had already summarised most of the main content. I’ve added some info on statcounter – very promising news indeed: _____________________ According to IDC and as quoted in major Finnish financial press, Nokia is back to 41% in Q1 of Finland’s smartphone market, after dropping to as low [...]
Just in time for the UEFA Champions League final this weekend, InfoMedia has launched the official Nokia app for Chelsea FC. There is huge overlap between the Chelsea FC fan base and Nokia use, and of course InfoMedia has a pretty strong history with Chelsea, as it developed the award winning iPhone app: Press Release: [...]
This is another great read by Janne who discusses at length the low end strategy at Nokia. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy . [Sorry not much in the way of posting today - Exam in a few hours:/]. May 15th, 2012. Karachi, Pakistan. Tomorrow Nokia is about the announce the next step [...]
This is a follow up of Janne’s Nokia AGM post. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/05/04/mnb-reader-generated-fact-checking-what-was-said-at-nokia-agm/ Now over to Janne: Just a couple of notes from Thursday’s Nokia AGM that got lost in all the hooplah about he said, she said. These are obviously not really news to anyone following Nokia closely, but still further confirmation of what is in [...]
Are you familiar with the name, Pekka Ala-Pietilä? He served as Nokia president from 1999 to 2005 whilst Ollila was CEO. He was the man Ollila had apparently preferred as his successor, but Jorma was not allowed to take part in the interview process. Joni tipped the story below. Pekka Ala-Pietilä is now CEO of Blyk. According [...]
Janne shared some thoughts on the Nokia AGM Meeting yesterday. Janne did share some snippets and soundbites with me yesterday but there was a lot of tips too on this (and many others) that I didn’t get to cover as I am just too busy with uni at the moment. There are some topics of [...]
