Nokia shows its new strategy in action


- Launches three new Series 40 mobile phones with advanced browser and maps

- Pinpoints July as start date for Symbian Anna delivery

- Plans up to 10 new Symbian smartphones over next 12 months

- Unveils Nokia N9 smartphone

- Announces continued support for Qt as part of ‘next billion’ strategy



Singapore – Today, at an event webcast around the world, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop demonstrated how the company is making significant progress on the new strategy it laid out earlier this year. From smartphones to mobile phones, from services to user interface design, and from improved device experiences to developer tools, Nokia outlined concrete actions for growth and taking leadership across the board.



“Earlier this year, we outlined a comprehensive strategy to change our course,” said Stephen Elop, president and CEO of Nokia. “Innovation is at the heart of our strategy, and today we took important steps to demonstrate a new pace of innovation at Nokia. It’s the beginning of a new era for Nokia.”



In mobile phones, Nokia introduced three new affordable devices – the Nokia C2-02, Nokia C2-03 and Nokia C2-06. The portfolio includes dual and single SIM options, and all three models offer a new, advanced web and maps experience for Series 40 phone users, as well as the choice of a touch screen or a keypad.



Nokia also restated its commitment to Symbian. This July, Nokia will start shipping Nokia N8s, E7s, C7s and C6-01s with the new Symbian Anna software update, which includes a number of user experience improvements. By the end of August, existing owners of these devices can also download Symbian Anna. And over the next 12 months Nokia plans to bring up to 10 new Symbian-based smartphones to market.



Nokia also revealed its latest smartphone: the Nokia N9, an all-screen device with three home views and a new user interface navigated through a simple swipe of the finger. The Nokia N9 comes in a polycarbonate design that enables superior antenna performance for better reception, better voice quality and fewer dropped calls; and a smarter all-round experience with NFC for sharing and pairing to accessories. The Nokia N9 will drive new innovation in the consumer experience, and inspire developers to build more powerful Qt applications.



The Qt framework is at the core of Nokia’s existing smartphone product line, and today there are more than 100 million Nokia Qt devices worldwide. Ovi Store consumers are downloading an increasing number of Qt applications, including in high-growth markets like Asia-Pacific. Tapping into this trend, Nokia will make Qt core to building applications that connect the next billion users to the internet. For Qt developers, this will mean a dramatic increase in reach and opportunity during the coming years.

Why Microsoft Buying Nokia Might Actually Make Sense

Today's wacky mobile industryrumor is that Microsoft could be interested in buying Nokia's mobile phone division , on the heels of the companies' Windows Phone 7 partnership.
Now, this is pretty out-there. The deal would be huge -- Nokia's market cap is $32 billion -- and it would be a big shift in Microsoft's focus. So it'seasy to laugh this off as a big, silly rumor .
But there's one reason why Microsoft potentially buying Nokia actually makes sense.
Because it's the only way that Microsoft could ever make enough money off Windows phones to matter.
Apple , HTC , and RIM have shown that when a smartphone company is performing well, there is a healthy amount of profit to be made. Apple likely makes a fewhundred dollars in profit per iPhone sold, for example.

Microsoft to buy Nokia? Eyebrow-raising rumor of the day

The big rumor that’s been spreading across the Interwebs today is that Microsoft is looking to buy Nokia’s mobile division, just three months after the companies announced a partnership and just a week after Microsoft said it will acquire Skype for $8.5 billion .
The chatter started when influential and well-connected Russian analyst/blogger Eldar Murtazin wrote on his personal blog ( Google translation | Bing translation ) that negotiations are starting between Nokia and Microsoft, and a deal would close by the end of this year.“Both companies are very much in a hurry,”Murtazin wrote, according to the Google translation.
But the rumor seems quite odd, considering the companies just inked a deal worth billions of dollars to make Windows Phone the main operating system on Nokia smart phones. What more could Microsoft need from the world’s largest phone maker? Hardware? Really?
Nevertheless, Murtazin has a stellar track record on Nokia rumors.
