Nokia responds to Apple's iPhone- from TechDigest

iphone will definitely sell, to the elite avantgard techies and to those who simply have the bucks and want it for the looks... but as already been said sooo many times in hofo, NA folks would want their free phones, even in cnn, when jim clancy asked one of the newscasters if he will buy it, he flatly said NO! cos he has $27 phone and the company provides it... naft said
 
in the usa? i dont think they would care~

i remember someone posting an article more than or around 80% of nokia's revenue are from europe/asia, so why bother if they are being beaten by the likes of samsung/se in NA? Besides, it'll probably cost them more just to make quad band phones (thanks to moto's patent) and us 3G...
 
i knew about that CISCO iPhone, i was just waiting for the news to appear... this will be verry interesting 2 giant niche-market-driven companies going at each other...
 
well it doesnt help that the NA uses the 850 gsm/3g band and the 1900 3G band while most of the ppl think the razr is the best phone...

and asia/europe ppl are more willing to pay and test new phones, and they use the same bands..what a coincidence eh?
 
The frequency stuff does suck, but it'd be easy for Nokia to release the same phones with a different radio inside (or even the same radio, just firmware modified to have it operate on different frequencies.) I believe they all use the same antenna types.

People think the "razr" is the best because it came out, was really thin, and looked "sleek" to most people. It was aggressively marketed, it's available relatively inexpensively now, and it works. It's not the best by a large margin, it's got tons of flaws, but it sells.

It also has very little/if any competition. Looked at the rest of the crappy phones we have over here? If Nokia got serious and started aggressively attacking the US market, providing GOOD phones that supported the US frequencies (really not that hard, and not requiring an expensive retooling) - they'd easily pick up good market share. A good deal with T-Mobile as a carrier would help them immensely too, maybe when T-Mobile starts rolling out the 3G stuff Nokia will hop on board with great phones that support US 3G+ standards. Talk about an instant leg-up on the competition!

Nokia has been everything but aggressive in the US market, they've all but ignored it. That's why you don't see high end Nokia phones around here. There's PLENTY of gadget heads who'll shell out the money, look at all of us importing phones that doesn't even work fully (broken 3G/etc) in the US.
 
Well those plenty of gadget heads will proabbly be all of us in hofo

compare to the v3 users? i dont think so...just go out on the street and see how many ppl are using a v3 compare to umm...n73?
 
As I said in another thread:

Cisco and Apple were at the table for at least a year. Things kept falling apart. Now Cisco *has* to come to that table.
 
Not sure about the battery priced. But YES, it does HAVE to be replaced by Apple. You can't take the battery out of the iPhone. It is built in with the phone hardware. Just goes to show you that Apple has a name but zero experience in mobiles
 
and jobs will be OWNED if he is forced to change the name...but come on who didnt know that cisco launched the phone like a couple of weeks before the apple one? jobs didnt do his research or is he just expecting the battle to come?
 
A judge will not compel Apple to work with Cisco to use VoIP.

It is unreasonable to require someone work with you on anything.

It is not unreasonable to be compensated for the use of a trademark.
 
You make up your own rules?? Dude read what the experts at wallstreet are saying about this.

When a person/company doesn't want to sell a trademark you cannot force them to sell it to you for money no matter what.

END OF DISCUSSION.
