Like the bride’s ex-boyfriend jumping up to offer an impromptu speech in the middle of the wedding, Nokia CEO, Stephen Elop, has warned anyone involved with Android that Google buying Motorola is bad news for them.
Even more unsurprisingly, he says Nokia’s decision to team up with Microsoft to build Windows Phone devices is vindicated by Google’s move. Read on for Elop’s tale of impending Android horror…
The Nokia Sea Ray Windows Phone 7 device made its unofficial on video when Stephen Elop waved it around with suspicious carelessness at a supposedly super-secret briefing that just happened to make it onto YouTube.
Now we’ve got another look at what appears to be the first Nokia Windows Phone 7 handset. This time it’s found lazing around on the floor of a factory in the Far East. Read on for details and to take a look at the device being prodded and poked…
It appears our intuition served us well in yesterday’s headline when we called the N9 “the MeeGo phone with Windows Phone looks.” In a “super confidential” presentation this morning, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop asked a crowd of attendees to put their cameras away before unveiling a Windows Phone-powered device with overwhelming resemblance to the N9, codenamed ‘Sea Ray’.
Other than a slightly different LED placement on the back of ‘Sea Ray’, the device is almost a mirror image of the N9 — it even uses the same 8-megapixel Carl Zeiss lens. There is however, a hardware button, presumably for shutter release, along the side.
As predicted, Nokia has finally pulled the covers of the Nokia N9 during the Nokia Connection event in Singapore. While the Nokia N9 is the company’s first MeeGo phone it shares more than a little bit of a resemblance with the Windows Phone 7 concepts the Finns have flaunted in photos. Certainly the same range of wild colours is on the cards.
If you’ve been eagerly waiting to see what Nokia would do with Linux-based MeeGo OS, you can find the full specs and a handy video guide after the jump. The big question is: will you go for MeeGo or wait for Nokia’s love-in with Windows Phone 7 to make its debut later this year?
The roller coaster of emotion for die-hard Nokia fans could hit an all-time high next week as Nokia plans to unveil a ‘new market disrupting device’ on June 21. The announcement will be followed by a live broadcast from Singapore where the company’s head honcho, Stephen Elop, will deliver the keynote at Nokia Connection 2011.
There’s no telling what this ‘market disrupting device’ might be, but as TheNokiaBlog points out, Mr. Elop previously described MeeGo as the company’s “future disruption in mobile ecosystem”. Based on that reference alone we may be looking at a Nokia MeeGo announcement.
Finally some good news for Nokia. After warning that its profits might not look so rosy this year, Nokia has won out in its long-running patent war with Apple.
That means a whole heap of cash for the struggling Finns and an expensive slice of humble pie for the Apple. Read on to see how humbly Stephen Elop is accepting Apple’s surrender. Spoiler: he’s not being that humble at all…
A memo from new Nokia boss Stephen Elop has leaked and boy is it brutal. He slams Nokia for its slowness in delivering a response to the iPhone and Android, kicks the slowness of MeeGo development and effectively puts a bullet in the head of the ailing Symbian OS. Head through for some of the choicest cuts from the Elop memo where he describes Nokia as “standing on a burning platform”. Yes, really…
Nokia is still taking a battering with its third quarter profit shrinking faster than a Hollyoaks actress desperate for an FHM covershoot. The difficulties have got Nokia thinking the unthinkable and Nokia CEO Stephen Elop hinted yesterday that another OS could get a look in, specifically Android. Nokia Android phones were unthinkable when the company compared Android to peeing in your pants (yes, really) but those scatological slurs have long gone…
