Interesting. I wonder how quick this would revive after a single slide from Snowden with 'iOS/Android/WP' next to 'Direct access' (probably won't happen though as they are using carriers http://www.techdirt.com/articles/201...one-call.shtml, sorry for OT but why noone came up with software scrambbler/encoder pgp like with public/private keys to avoid carrier sniffing is strange)

You say this one day after Nokia has sold mobile division to Microsoft?

Seriously its tim e for people to stop dream when fact has been shown already...

Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services
 

will not happen.

Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services
 

There are rumours (not harmattan nor PV) that Nokia could restart another phone division without Lumia/Asha.

NOT TROLLING

Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services
 

Tapping calls on the network side is routine, and of course it's used in US on their carriers. Spying on europeans is more difficult for NSA since propably they cannot man EU carrier datacenters with their people (except in UK which is basically lapdog of the states)
Thus, there is real possibility that trojans on mobile devices are used against EU citizens.


Oh it's been thought of already;

Nokia doesn't exist anymore, we know that. I'm telling what i listened
Symbian is not owned by MS, neither Harmy. And they are in different markets with Lumia now

Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services
 

... And now would be good time for Nokia to start licensing all their mobile solutions to all major phone manufacturers and/or OS companies out there. That is, if they still own all the phone-related patents, I think they do, if I've read the news correctly.

Samsung phones With Nokia Maps/41 mpix camera? I would do that to just to screw Microsoft. LICENSE (cheap?), get some money from the patents while you still can.

After all, after a few years all the patents will be obsolete as new technological innovations will come to replace the old innovations.

As a Finn, I'm pissed, but I did see this coming a long time ago... It seemed so obvious after the burning platform memo (& the consequent ditching of all Nokia's phone OS'ses [even the promising ones] and then going all in with Windows Phone strategy).

I personally never understood one bit why the WIndows Phone OS was chosen, the phone wasn't customisable at the least! And that's something the most customers seek from a phone. I'll never buy a phone I can't change a wallpaper to.

Now, If Nokia would only invest in Jolla... Though I see it unlikely. They might stay away from the phone business some time for now... if only to catch some breath after all this.
