Nokia Fights Back: Windows Phone And Asha Series To Win Back The Market
2011-10-28 14:14:00
Nokia is one company almost everyone can relate to. At one point, almost all of us have had a Nokia device. Their Symbian operating system ruled the roost for almost a decade and their entry level devices were found in households all over the world. However, as with any company, things began to stagnate and they began losing market share and more importantly, mind share to competitors. In the lower range too they lost their price advantage to local and chinese brands. In February this year, newly appointed CEO Stephen Elop famouslyÂ announced their plans for a comeback with their Windows Phone range of devices. Now, nine months later, at Nokia Word in UK, they did just that. Two Windows Phone 7 devices were launched by Nokia: the Nokia Lumia 710 and Lumia 800. Both running the latest Windows Phone Mango OS, with Nokia Exclusive apps like Nokia Drive and Nokia music. The Lumia 710 is a mid range device.

Nokia is currently the largest mobile handset manufacturer in the world, but its Smartphones category has not been able to match up to the iPhoneâ€™s, Samsungâ€™s and HTCâ€™s. Nokia smartphones are mostly based on the Symbian platform (Nokia has now entered into an agreement with Microsoft, which will see Nokia phones on the Windows Mobile platform). The Nokia Ovi App Store is no match for either the Appleâ€™s collection of apps and neither that of Android.

Nokia Does What It Knows Best – Launches Cheapest Cellphone

It seems Nokia is trying to grab a lot of eyeballs these days with a slew of new announcements coming from the Finnish giant. A few days ago, it launched three new smartphones running on the latest Symbian OS, Belle. This is an update to Anna that was launched six months ago. Nokia claims that the newly launched Nokia 700 is the smallest smartphone in the world. To add to this, Nokia launched two of its cheapest mobile phones ever – whenever you think of lower end phones, the first brand that comes to mind is indeed Nokia, for lower end phones have catapulted Nokia to where it is right now. This move can be seen as beacon to attract users in the low end market as it fights off increasing competition from local Asian brands. The Nokia 100 and 101 – priced at $30 and $35 respectively, will become available from the third or fourth quarter this year. The Nokia 100 has features that you would expect a basic phone to have – calling and sending text messages apart from a...

Nokia To Give Symbian A Makeover, Support Older Devices
2011-07-01 08:26:00
Facing increasing pressure from competitors like Android, RIM and even iOS, Nokia was forced to make some drastic changes this year. In February, they announced a deal with Microsoft in which they will use their Windows Phone 7 OS on new Nokia devices. Â This meant that Symbian was shown the door and would eventually fade away. However, Nokia was still selling Symbian devices by the millions. It had to still support those devices with updates and feature add-ons. Nokia plans to give their S^3 devices like the N8, C6-01, E7 and C7 the new Symbian Anna. “The Symbian Anna upgrade gives users a set of new icons, a faster web browser, improved text input and enhanced maps.

2011-05-17 09:30:00
Hot on the heels of the news about Nokia showing ditching Ovi as a brand, here is some more news for all you Tech junkies. Eldar Murtazin, Editor of Mobile Review who had predicted the Nokia-Microsoft Windows Phone deal back in December 2010 has come up with a new post on his personal blog firing up a new rumour. According to this post Microsoft will buy Nokia’s handsetÂ manufacturing unit by the end of 2011. If this rumour turns out to be true it would put Microsoft in the league of companies like Apple and Blackberry who completely control the whole experience of their phones, hardware as well as software. Along with Xbox and Kinnect, Microsoft will add phones to its hardware division. This would mean better software updates for Windows Phones more control of Microsoft over their devices and all of this leading to a better and consistent experience for the end user. If this goes through Microsoft would end up paying as much as $30 billion easily surpassing the $8.5 billion ...

Nokia Shows the Door to Ovi: Opens Up A Window For Irony
2011-05-16 13:38:00
In a blogpost over at Nokia Conversations titled The Evolution of Nokia and Ovi, Nokia gave us a glimpse of its future plans. Ovi, which is a Finnish word meaning ‘Door’, was ironically shown the door by Nokia. Nokia has a wide range of services with the Ovi brand name: Ovi Maps, Ovi Music, Ovi Store, Ovi Mail and Ovi Contacts are a few. The term Ovi will be replaced by Nokia. It is to be noted that a couple of years ago, the services offered by Nokia were Nokia Maps, Nokia Messaging etc. They then changed it from Nokia to Ovi, and now are changing it back. Such uncertainty is not good for brand recognition, as people were justÂ beginningÂ to identify Ovi with Nokia. Nokiaâ€™s EVP and Chief Marketing Officer, Jerri DeVard explains : â€œWe have made the decision to change our service branding from Ovi to Nokia. By centralizing our services identity under one brand, not two, we will reinforce the powerful master brand of Nokia and unify our brand architecture â€“ while co...
