VentureBeat: Nokia aims to prove there is mobile demand beyond the iPhone

    Well, let see how promising it is. I'm concerning about the Nokia's fine-looking body that would leaves 'Woo!!!' impression when the first seen.

    What is the most important, game changing and very hard in the future mobile device? Battery life! More robust processors, more radio devices, the list gos on... Changes everything. Would be nice to hear some thoughts on this very troubling subject.

    Agreed. We are aware about some innovation happening on the battery front and will write about it here at VB in the weeks to come.

    Beware of people who start every single sentence with, "we are going to..."

    That's what aging and increasingly irrelevant companies like Microsoft (and Nokia) say just because they think their large legacy userbase is safe from competition. Meanwhile, technology marches on.

    what do you mean by "woke up"?
  • sachxn · 8 months ago
    Woke Up means giving "more importance" to software rather than hardware NOW and why not before and why after Apple's success........

    So, does that mean my E71 may finally see a usable VNC client on it? After over a year? Not holding my breath. Does that mean there will be a store for one-stop shopping that my E71 can access like the iPhone I should have bought? Not holding my breath. Does that mean that Nokia will leverage the connection to the desktop for Mac users with an app that can move more than just contacts and calendars, but perhaps properly manage multimedia, file storage or tether for bluetooth-enabled systems like the MacBook? Not holding my breath. In fact, Nokia, the sound you hear is my troubled sigh that I use the E71 as my main phone. Be very, VERY glad Apple is only in bed with AT&T in the States. It's a deep sigh, because I've held my breath for you for far too long.

    Nokia has a LONG way to go. I bought a new Nokia phone, and called up customer service to get it to sync to my addressbook on my iMac. Nokia just outright resfused to do anything about Mac support!

    I haven't tried outlook sync for iPhone, but atleast, they have it!

    Does anybody know what this means:

    "Today we are a software company that monetizes through hardware sales"

    Is it a bit like saying "I'm an author who monetizes through bar work"?

    I almost feel sorry for them.
