Goodness me it is rare to see one of these around nowadays.
Quote: “Apple could eat Nokia’s lunch in emerging markets”
I don’t quite agree with this one — there’s about a billion different points I’d like to make but I’m on-the-run. I wanted to post this particularly for the readers out there who have intimate knowledge of Nokia’s rather phenomenal position in the emerging marketplace. I thought it would give you a little chuckle. Have [...]

James Whatley on the importance of ecosystems
Whatley is back this week with his perspective on ecosystems — a word that’s increasingly being integrated into the marketing communications of almost every key player in the marketplace. Years back, an ecosystem meant having a few developers knock out some expensive and rather limited third-party apps. Nowadays the term has much wider connotations. Over [...]
By 2015, Windows Phone will lead iOS — Gartner, IDC
I don’t agree with all the text in this piece from TechCrunch — not least because of the focus on HTC and hardly any mention of Nokia. HTC is a relative minnow compared to what Nokia could *possibly* do with Windows Phone. This, after all, is a company that’s consistently proved that it has the [...]
Anyone fancy the deal to build 300 apps for Nokia?
I’m sure there’s a lot of executives reading who wouldn’t mind the contract to build 300 apps for Nokia. Alas the opportunity has been snapped up by Canadian firm, Polar Mobile. Congratulations chaps. The focus for Polar is obviously Windows Phone — and this news demonstrates Nokia isn’t hanging around. Microsoft has already made good [...]
True/false: Could Nokia stop selling phones today and still deliver in 2012?
Here’s a point that reader Richard Marshall made on my Google+ feed just a moment ago: Nokia could stop selling phones now and it wouldn’t make any difference. It’s all about making 2012 enormous. Let’s hope they manage it. The Meego phone looked lovely – WP7 on something like that with the right marketing should [...]
Why Nokia’s Q2 results are irrelevant
Nokia posted some financial results this morning. They are not good. But I won’t bore you with anything beyond that. There’s a lot of handwringing going on across the marketplace with people surprised that the figures don’t look good. Well obviously. The company is mid-way through changing strategies. This second quarter came more or less [...]
“First look” at Nokia’s N9-style Windows Phone – exciting!
The video below apparently came from the Far East. It purports to show a Nokia N9-styled device operating Windows Phone 7. Matt over at The Next Web describes the phone as having ‘a near identical design to the Meego-powered Nokia N9′. Now then, here’s what you need to do. Definitely watch the video. Keep the [...]
361 degrees podcast – Episode 9: Nokia, what next?
Right this week things got a little bit interesting. Ben describes the debate between Rafe and I as, “a little bit heated” in the text below. I think, at one point, I was screaming words to the effect of, “You’re completely WRONG” at Mr Blandford. This is, you understand, all in the spirit of a [...]

Nokia’s N9: The full release (you need to read it)
Now then, this release is critical reading for anyone following the mobile industry. This is the launch released regarding the Nokia N9 — in full. First of all, read it. Don’t read it critically. Don’t think about platforms, don’t think about brands, just try and ‘take it in’ without making the usual judgements we all [...]

Here at Uplinq 2011 we interviewed the well-known mobile blogger Jeb Brilliant, who runs aBrilliantBlog. We asked Jeb to give us his perspective on the Uplinq event and the latest Nokia announcements. More from Jeb
Uplinq: Full video of Stephen Elop’s keynote presentation
Kudos to Rafe Blandford over at All About Symbian who wrote-up what looks like the whole of Stephen Elop’s keynote at Qualcomm’s Uplinq event recently. He also embedded the video of Stephen’s presentation — I totally forgot Qualcomm had made it available. I do thoroughly recommend taking a bit of time out and watching this [...]
