5800(Tube) should indeed be rather cheap and maybe they are setting prices for new line of phones coming.]]>Jul 31st 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Yeah i know, but you can be sure that people here in Engadget will compare those 2 if people compare something like N95 and iphone.... everything can be possible.
5800 main point will be the price because it's a fact that it wont be as much of eye candy as iphone those who are expecting it to be something different than S60 just made for TS use and a bit more eye candy than fp2 will probally be disapointed.
Looking forward that E77 it might actually have totally new OS in it....]]>Jul 31st 2008 4:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/
Apple which is touted as a high margin electronics company has a net margin of 14.36%

Microsoft, on the other hand 27.13%. That's a high margin business IMO]]>Jul 31st 2008 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Uhm, honey, when the hell was cellphones, in general, a low margin business.
---------
Exactly, but I'll offer some context to all this:
Posters generally from the USA associate Nokia with low-priced phones, and therefore, everything they do as low-priced and low-quality. Apparently they are not big in the USA. In Australia (from first-hand experience) and most of Europe (as I understand it) it's quite different. At least the perception is.

Plus Nokia as a brand is actually most valued from Europe. Thought i guess it's not too much of suprise as Nokia phones aren't really sold in USA, right?

Seeing all the reports about people modding/hacking or simply generally loving their "awesome" Nokia's was rather confusing at first. They don't really advertise much here, and the internet aside, you really don't see them much at all until you mention the keywords: broke, cheap, free to the guys trying to sell you a 2-yr contract.]]>Aug 6th 2008 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 3:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/

My avatar would be happy to use Nokia smartphones. Especially the N95. He agreed that if they gave him plenty of bananas a month in place of money, he would be happy to carry one. He thinks the N95 isn't all that great of a browsing handset, but it takes great pictures of all his chimp friends in heavy forest cover due to its high megapixel count and fine flash.]]>Jul 31st 2008 1:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 1:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Jul 31st 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/31/nokia-dropping-phone-prices-going-in-for-the-kill/Iphone is a smartphone, i do understand what you want to say concerning the Ctrl C, Ctrl V issue as well as the true multitasking capabilities but you should know that the Iphone is smart enough for many people(though i am not in that league, and i suspect you re not)
