My previous phone to that was Symbian (p910i) and I swapped it in a heartbeat for the first nearly properly open phone.

WPanything will never be that.

I don't care if Maemo was a niche but fun phone for some, for IT peeps I think it was perfect and it certainly seems to have attracted a fair number of downloads.

Nokia was happy trying different avenues, some might call it R&D but at least they were trying new and varied approaches which is the hallmark of a vibrant company, worthy of investment.

Today I think you are right to say Nokia is going nowhere ... which is a real shame, anyway some light reading which appears to be on topic in an off topic world.

Here is a much better reading for you:

http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-...of-nokia-meego


Tells you that pre-Elop NOKIA was a business case of mismanagement. Just reading through it, I am amazed that N900 and other devices exist. But clearly, in the pre-Elop era, the products were buggy and hopelessly lagging behind iOS and Android. Moreover it corroborated what I always was saying here, that Harmattan development began in 2008 and all they produced was a beta OS in 2011. Sad, Very sad. With Elop they have a chance. Without Elop, they had none.

Should w3 ph33r your @$$tr0turf1ng skl1$$z?

Get over your persona. No one gives a dump about iOS or Android. The fact was, the masses could have bitten onto Maemo... But then again, they didn't, because No-kia never flexed their marketing muscle.

Now, you have to compete religion-wise against iurghOS and profit-wise against aOS. Poor nokia mismanagement.

Bonus points for trying to answer in the form of a haiku.

Who said a year, you sound like a bumbling Republican candidate, making up stuff as you go along. NOKIA is undergoing huge change in strategy and it takes 3-5 years to accomplish it. Plus, they have merciless competitors in iOS and Android.
The strategy is clear, succeed in the US market and beyond. Lumia 900 was just released, 7 months ago on ATT, now they will release various devices on three networks including Verizon. This will increase their foothold into US as they strive to become number 3 in the US.
If Jolla succeeds, NOKIA will buy them. I think that they are giving Jolla leaders a chance to prove that they can deliver on their own. Clearly, under previous NOKIA leadership, they couldnt deliver a good product.

From Lumiaman's link:

Quote:

The Harmattan UI was originally based on the Activity Theory principle, a frame of reference for studying human behavior and development processes. The goal is to understand society, personality and, most importantly, how these two are connected. The theory was originally developed by the Russian psychologist Vygotsky.

The aim was to utilize information on how people combine tasks and communicate with each other, and thus support these ways of working instead of forcing people to adopt technology-based working models. The system would adapt to the way the user interacts eith it, to ensure reciprocated interaction.
See, Nokia does things thoroughly when they decide to do them. Not quite like my ZTE phone which is
10 COPY HTC_HARDWARE;
20 INSERT GOOGLE_SOFTWARE;
30 $PRICE--;
40 SELL();

Another fine quote:
Quote:

Soon after beginning his job at Nokia, Elop started the ”Sea Eagle” project whose purpose was to sort out and analyze alternatives to Nokia’s smartphone strategy.
Or let me fix that for you:

I can say for a fact that if Nokia had released the 'Lauta' I would have bought that. At a premium price. Heck, it even looks like the phone in my signature.

And, if they had managed to make and release the device 'Soiro' based on Intel’s Atom SoC and x86 architecture, I would have bought that. Even if I already had the Lauta. I don't think there's any other phone I would have considered paying as much for as that phone.

Yes, beautiful hardware. From time to time I fire up my one remaining N9. i even reflashed it. pretty phone. looks cool. yet it lags, stutters, email doesnt update, sms threads get mixed up, abominable web browsing. Its like a pretty ******, all dressed up but nowhere to go. That refers to all of the scrapped phones. Elop had to step in stop production of ******s.

the first Lumia line up is less than a year old. I wouldnt cast judgment yet. Jussa had 4 years to develop Harmattan and see how it badly failed.

Level 1- Symbian needed to go to thrash. It finally did. Good riddance. Great when there was no competition. When competition rose, it was outcompeted.

Level 2- Maemo. Great idea, horrible execution, horrible delays, no one knew who was in charge. Nobody championed it to get things done right. Since 2006 they could not compete with iphone. Fail. Elop rightly axed it. How many itinerations you need before it stares at you and says: " I am just not competitive"

Level 3- it took since 2008 Jussa to develop Harmattan, fail. Few fanboys left in the world that love Harmattan, but overall a fail. It can not do the basics as smoothly as other platforms and fails on many levels. And it was supposed to succeed Maemo 5...that is just utter incompetence. Funny that I say this: google Jussa Jolla...see what pops first

Level 4- faced with incompetence at NOKIA, Elop aborts retaaards (Symbian, Maemo, Harmattan), and goes for a working platform, WP8

Level 5- WP8 succeeds, fine. It doesnt succeed, Elop axed, NOKIA has to go with Android or Jolla succeeds (less than likely given Jussa pedigree), and NOKIA buys JOLLA.



How many levels did you miss?

Yeah, I guess I am wrong to put S40 into the Symbian bracket, but I do. I've always considered it Symbian Series 40. But it isn't Symbian, sorry. I keep forgetting. Especially now as the features are leaking down.

Quote:

By adding features such as quicker Web and online games to its Asha handsets popular in faster-growing economies including India and China, Nokia boosted its share of the basic-phone market to 35% last quarter — the highest in two years. Unlike the smartphone division, the basic-phone business is profitable and unit sales are increasing.

For Nokia, this can only be bad. It means Windows Phone isn't selling enough. For poor people in the 3rd world, it's good.

Academic discussions. Does it surf the web? Can I use Facebook/Twitter on it? can I use mail? Does it have apps? If the answer is yes on 3 of 4, then it is a "smartphone" in peoples eyes.

WP is steadily increasing it's user base: Doubled in Europe during the last 6 months.

SGS3s are given away at the moment. The winner is Apple (not a good thing, not even understandable, but a fact, people are purchasing iPhone 4S like never before). The market is over saturated (and the iPhone 5 is "overengineered" sort of), still WP is blooming, even before WP8 has entered.

Don't read too much into the spike. The NOK spike was caused by our old friends the options traders, who by the end of trading had opened 9,293 puts along with only 1,621 calls. The most popular option was for the October $2.50 put that expires at the end of this week (ie. after the earnings call on the 18th). Of 18000 contracts changing hands yesterday, over 10000 were for the $2.50 put. They need the price to drop below $2.39 to break even, which is a fall of over 11% of the current price. So that should tell you where the market thinks the Nokia share price is heading over the coming week.

But Nokia didn't post any warnings. Thus their earnings will be as or better than expected..

It goes up just before every earnings release. $3 seems to be the restrictive ceiling on the stock.

Don't put too much faith in no profit warning being good news. A profit warning is only issued to soften the blow to investor analysts. The majority of investor analysts (from what I can see, 17 out of 18) have a neutral to pessamistic view on NOK stock so there's no need to soften the blow. There'll be some good news with the Asha line and money generated from sales of assets, on the other side possibly a lot of cash burn and poor performance from the Windows Phone range.

When the signs are there (like say impressive sales of new Lumias), the stock will already be high and it will be too late to buy. In the end, the stock market is just another form of gambling. For example, take AAPL, it's like 630 USD a piece right now. It could go over 1,000 in a year, but likewise, it can easily lose over 50% of value..

volt 2012-10-16 21:24

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.
 
I guess the best "reason" is that at this low price, the monthly variations equals a rather high variation in percentage. If you know how to sell before it's too late, you should be able to, i dunno, grab 10-15% in a month? At a considerable risk, I might add. But before Nokia is over for good, at least it will bounce once more.

I don't see nokia succeeding with the new lumia range.

You can spot a bestseller, and none of the new phones is one. What I am especially disappointed with, its the lack of different designs. The plastic monoblock is allright for one model, but what about an E71-like design with metals? The E71 for me is still the peak of nokia design, the n9 is stylish but lacks the class, robustness and details of an E71.

Weight! Weight is an issue for many people, even the iphone is now at 116 grams.

What about a stylish slider with keyboard? Obviously not an option with an OS that lacks landscape mode.

Just a little rant :D
