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

Duh, looking them up on linkedin was the first thing I did. I keep my thoughts to myself after I read their profiles.

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...

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!

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).

This is what Andy Perkins (Societe Generale) writes:

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: 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: 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.

Who chimes in to buy a one way ticket for Elop from Finland to Canada? I'm in for $100!

Re: Nokia shares dive after sales warning

Ericsson, your posts are refreshingly optimistic (or hellofalot naive).

Here is how it went:


Nokia’s share price is on a downward trajectory since fall 2007.

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

There is no contest that Nokia's execution was piss-poor, at least since 2007.

That was the reason why they brought on a new CEO.

The new CEO managed to destroy an additional 40% of Nokia's...

Re: N900 For sale- U.S.

So, exactly what are you selling? The phone that fell to the ground? No backdoor? Do you include the keyboard? What about the mainboard? Or is it just the screen protector attached to what exactly?

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

Good article. I have two questions:
1. When will Nokia replace the current CEO
2. Will it be already too late?

Re: Elops oh s**t moment for Meego

The problem for Nokia is that the U.S. trend shown in the graph is increasingly true globally. Except the fact that Symbian was at the top coming down fast and Windows mobile irrelevant anyway.
