Re: Nokia's quiet comeback - BBC
Nokia is really relatively quiet, and specially about Maemo. I mean, they have made annoucements that it is their future, and gave lots of attention to it in Nokia World, but it is still considered more of an offbeat device.
The other side is that they are marketing the device for a specific public. They are going for developers, hackers, "gearheads", whatever you call them. They are caring more about getting it right, and relying on the word of mouth. And I love seeing that, it's the only totally “honest” marketing strategy. Google does that often, with their invite-a-friend strategy when they launch stuff. Apple also certainly relies on the viral publicity too, pushed by their hosts of fans. What I want to say is: may the best phone win. I respect people who do their thing in silence, instead of blabbing about it. Maybe it is not Nokia who is quiet, it's just the others who are loudmouths. Nobody is being quiet there at the PUSH N900 website. Lots of people showing great stuff there, quiet work they've done, and having fun. All noise I hear from Apple is about money, censorship and restrictions. And Google is quite quiet themselves too if you think about it... Just some controversies too now and then. Closing up. Largest manufacturer of mobile devices in the world is probably Nike. And boy, do those sneakers move... And their numbers are also impressive because every bought means two devices! |

Re: Nokia's quiet comeback - BBC
All I want is a healthy competitive market, yet one that isn't so fractured that developers can't really deliver compelling apps across the platforms. That way we get competition and innovation, and consumers can chose the device that's right for them.
I don't think everyone should have a N900. Me - yup. My son - yup. Rest of family - nope, probably more iphone types. And that's just fine... |
