With dumb phone sales are on the decline year over year, this will
do very little for Nokia. Nokia is about to become the next Motorola.

Plus we have already seen to next move in it's higher end phones with the introduction of Maemo coming to phones and next version that's totally build for mobile phones already in schedule in form of harmattan/maemo 6. With Maemo maturing and the typical Nokia strategy starts to play with them building phones with different HW for everyone with Maemo in it's not hard to see them coming strong... thought this needs to happen fast if they want to keep that upperhand they got with the world 4th most known brand.

Thought Nokia should have done MUCH better with iphone and Android. I hope Kallasvuo gets sacked and new guy comes that actually understand that the services comes second and the HW and OS needs to be build first. Kallasvuo made the right decissions at the end with Symbian and maemo, but it should have happened before.]]>Oct 27th 2009 7:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/
With Nokias 40% market share in smartphones it would be fun to see if even fraction of people would buy this phone from those 500 million peoples and how it would change those percentages in Nokias smartphone share :)]]>Oct 27th 2009 7:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Oct 27th 2009 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Oct 27th 2009 7:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Oct 27th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/do very little for Nokia."

Err... it's a smartphone. You can tell because it's a 6 series running S60v3.]]>Oct 27th 2009 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Oct 27th 2009 8:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/
You may also want to consider Nokia's strategy - the transition to smartphones will not be to high end devices like the iPhone, it'll be to mid tier devices like the 5 and 6 series phones made by Nokia. Nokia understand this so instead of pouring all their resources into the high end market to beat the iPhone they're concentrating on maintaining their mass market share.

All of you predicting Nokia's demise should really take a basic course in economics and marketing. Nokia fell asleep badly at the high end but their strategy is clear and the biggest threat to the strategy comes not from Apple or Android but from Samsung, HTC and LG.]]>Oct 27th 2009 8:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/
...I'd like to see Nokia responding better... but they are really taking their time... however, to talk about Nokia's doom, is still naive...

Not all people want a touch screen. At all. Especially since bigger screens & resolutions consume more battery and nowadays batteries are still not very good.]]>Oct 27th 2009 8:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Carl Zeiss is one of the oldest optical lens manufactures located in Germany. Company is named after their founder. They license their lenses to almost all camera manufacturer except Nikon, Canon and Pentax. They entered the cameraphone market with Nokia N90. Trivia: Their lenses were used in 2k resolution cameras used to film 'Slumdog Millionaire'. They were specially optimised cine lenses for filming in Mumbai.]]>Oct 27th 2009 9:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/27/nokias-first-td-scdma-based-6788-ready-for-china-mobiles-500-m/Oct 27th 2009 9:03AM
