Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Why is this thread still going? Nokia have made it quite clear that the only way they will be re-entering the smartphone market is by licensing their brand to a third party manufacturer.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

I guess because locking it would only invite Foxkia to create a new one.

(And post more 5 years old articles as "news".)

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

This thread has gone downhill since somewhile (thanks in no small part to Foxkia) hence it is being moved to Off-topic so that it doesn't appear in active topics with lame posts.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Well... that escalated quickly.

Not a smartphone but I think it's not worth open a new topic:

"Withings" (owned by Nokia) announced a smartwatch

I don't need a smartwatch, but like the design, somehow a classical (quartz) watch.

Brought up in April and in other threads. I do not call this a "return" of Nokia by no stretch of the imagination. A considerable smaller opportunity such as wearables is perhaps the way start forward momentum, but I do not think so.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

As a smartwatch, this is a step in the right direction; on the withings page the promised battery runtime is 25 days per charge.
I have previously stated that for me it is important that a watch-like device has at least 6...12 months runtime on single charge... If this watch proves to be elegant/useful/affordable enough, I just might try to bend my requirements a bit.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Oh come on, juiceme. My watch requires charging (also known as "winding up") every day! ;)

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Indeed, however you are not tied to a wall socket for an hour each day to do it... in fact you can do it wherever you are and it takes about 10 seconds...
Spot the difference, huh?

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Almost all of my watches are automatic watches. I hate winding, batteries and charging. Why hasn't there been an automatic (movement) smartwatch yet?

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Yes, in many ways the technology has gone backwards.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

get a solar charged watch and b out in the sun more often == autocharge battery ;)

WP is dead. But seems Microsoft lobbying windows10 on embedded. My favourite electronic engineer, eevblog, did get some embedded in his mailbag recently package with embedded kit seems very cheap kit including windows10 license so M$ lobbying hard...

for those interested, forward around 9 minutes where he gives some feedback of the devkit seems to be a nice kit with USB3.

Have one Eco-Drive as well, it was a gift. Does its job wonderfully. Still bothers me that there are no wearables or auxiliary devices, like a Bluetooth headset that has that feature. All require a plugin. Meh.

I know that no one here cares, but still ...

That's actually not bad at all. Thanks for sharing saponga.

Nokia 8 :D

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Nope, its HMD. Nice slabs for android devices, though.

My better half's got da model 8, and it got updated to Oreo last week. I was somewhat impressed on that even though fast update cycle was promised.

As for myself, I wouldn't touch it with a pole before the bootloader is unlockable and AOSP package available.

Re: Nokia’s Return To The Smartphone Market: Officially Confirmed
 

Nokia 8 is way beyond my range but I almost ended up buying Nokia 3 for my daughter. It was number 2 on my shortlist of 3. I liked the fact that it was about as pure Android as it gets, with no added crap. I would have bought it even though a better spec device was available for only a bit more but then an even better spec got reduced and... the rest is history ;)
