Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Swedish media is saying Nokia will announce something nextweek. I dont know what original source is.

And haven't seen any thread about it here?

Could it be that damn Meego something wee have waited for or is it just some Elop Flop WP7 ****ing **** phone?

Well most logical would be Meego its about time and soon we have the Meego conference... But I dont have high hopes :/

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

I've heard from a few places an accounement on MeeGo is imminent this month or next, so could be that. Or it could be about the Symbian update, or WP7.

In other words, it could be about anything

translation of piece
Nokia has begun to inform journalists and others to have something going on which will take place on the evening of 17 May, then next Tuesday. When should you keep some kind to launch in Athens, and they received a message that may be requested not to schedule anything else then. It is pretty obvious that the Finnish manufacturer will showcase its first Windows Mobile. When Nokia will start selling its first Windows model is unclear, but according to anecdotal evidence, people are working hard to get a phone that can go on sale before Christmas. Another possibility is that you should present it Meego phone that have been promised release this year. If the latter is true would be a few days before the LG, which should Demons finished third result of his work with Meego during a conference taking place the week after.
could be either

May be announce that Skype is now owned by Microsoft and soon it's Nokia as well. :)

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Maybe they're announcing the death of oviMaps. We can only hope--given they're using Bing mapping. Even that HAS to be better than oviMaps was. :P

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

i am expecting a Grand Maemo update from PR1.3 tp PR2.0. Having all the missing features. i dont mind if if they give it as a last update. but i want all the missing features and advanced features . and announce that there would not be any future update. so that we will know about maemo.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

yeah ~ Don't expect too much ! But I love my N900 still ~ :)

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

How about Nokia has decided to buy Microsoft. Stop Dreaming son.. Jus Kiddin...

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

may be nokia announce that its future is not bright now. lol

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

who cares?

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

My bet! Nokia's wonderful new CEO burns the platform at the announcement... Jumps off of it, grabs all the silverware and other valuable items off the tables, running off screaming, "THIS IS A METAPHOR!" :P

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

I actually laughed at that one in real life, thanks dan :)

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

bing maps IS ovi maps, they buy maps from navteq.

and before so did google

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Then it shall be my new tagline! :) Thanks!

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

may be something on flash player ? lol

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

twitter just said it is only about the local launch of x7 and e6, moved to competitors

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Hahaha.. That's like something out of the Simpsons.. Hilarious!

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

I bet they made a new font again

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

The truth is finally out!!!

Nokia will announce that the N900 was the best phone they were came up with for a very, very long time, and they have decided to dedicate 20% of their full time, top resource in supporting, improving and expanding the N900 market with 3G video call, voice navigation, and all the other apps the Maemo community wanted. The N900i with an improved keyboard and USB charger will be Nokia's new strategic flagship model to compete with all the other Smartphones out there and you have an option to use Meego. Also, everyone who contributed over 500 posts in the Maemo.org and with over 200 thanks will receive portion of new Nokia shares that will be introduced in June 2011.

Oh! and did I already mentioned the battery will last 2 weeks on a single charge???

:D Good night...it's late

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

lmao))))))))

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Simple, NOKIA is now a new division of M$ and the HO is moving to USA.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Sorry, man.. that one can't really get a chuckle. FAR too likely a possibility for it to be considered a funny joke here.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Actually, it is my understanding that Bing Maps and ovi Maps are to be merged. One can only assume this is an attempt to take the worst parts of both and get a market-leading mapping solution by way of integer overflow.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Bing maps will get Ovi's Navteq maps with turn by turn navigation, and i'm pretty sure it'll be getting the Ovi 3d maps that have been advertised and used lately

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

In other words, it will not be sufficiently competitive with even GARMIN much less Google Maps or anybody else, right?

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

If only Elop would own a N900 as his prior phone, the future would alter to become an eden for the technology aware consumer, freeing the chains of closedness to shiver into the light of the open, with roots under our feet controlling the very aspects of wonderfull software that has yet to come.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

What a bloody nightmare. Couple MS with Never finish One Kind of project In favor of Another.

Each version of Windows a complete rewrite, each incompatible with the previous, every year your OS becomes "old". Windows Update will deliver critical patches once a year, in service packs. UI department decides what the OS includes. If you installed games, you need to format and install the new version. Less options. Outlook no longer supports renaming meetings. Word decides to clock your CPU to max and pin it there. Winamp stutters. Windows Live reports your number to Microsoft. Microsoft site is cleared of whitepapers and reports and is replaced by an animated page in green containing specs.

Two months later, Windows is renamed to WiiGo enters beta again.

Ironically, I can see a LOT of parallels there with the Maemo experience over the years. :P

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

ROFLOL @ "maemo envy" tag!! Oh my God I laughed.. hard. :)
Meego MAAYBE... Maemo... OMG no.. no no.. HAhahaha! no. :D

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

the announcement? phone calls on NITDroid. there, I said it.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

You're obviously going on your experience of Ovi Maps on Maemo. 'Nokia Maps' on E71 was better than any competitive-in-price Garmin device (e.g., the whole Nuvi range).

It has improved on later devices.

Apparently the Harmattan device is getting the same version of Ovi Maps that Symbian^3 has ...

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

I heard a rumour but not sure how reliable it is, that nokia have again been in talks with google because of android...

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

come on nokia, Qwerty , carl zeiss , xenon flash, autofocus + n900 hardware upgrade, how hard can it be... :<

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

If that were the case, I'd still be disappointed but I'd admint that it would be FAR better than the current plan to combine two dramatic failures together: Nokia's appalling customer support, antique looking designs and incredible lack of hardware support.. with Microsoft's unloved operating system and ME-TOO behind-the-curve services and applications. At least with Android, they would finally be making SOME kind of progress into the current decade. What a disappointment either way.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Nokia announces that a door hit them on the head and it finally dawned on them that they do hardware, not software, so, they will now focus on that.

Their offer will be restricted to one phone per class. N, E, and P, being the Nerd, Enterprise and Poor slob lines.

Also, they will change their name to Carrot and their phone will be dubbed uPhones, with uPhone N1 and uPhone E1 being launched this summer.

Also, there is talk of a new uPad.

Their whole OS will be missing. Since Google can answer anything, the phone will boot up to Google's page, you can handle it from there.

It's the community's job to fill in the gaps.

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

If all that were true, I'd still be happier because at least they'd leave it to the community instead of TELLING us that and then hiding things in closed-source. :P Also... I would probably kinda LIKE a tablet that did nothing but boot into a browser that goes straight to Google's services. Not a bad idea--although I think that's what ChromeOS is all about, isn't it?

To ChromeOS's credit, I LOVE that Google has decided NOT to lock-up the Linux layer of the ChromeOS laptops and leaves it open for the geeky among us to splash ourselves around in the POSIX goodness! GOOD on Google for that!

Re: Nokia will announe something next week but what?
 

Sooooo... did they announce it yet?
