Insight 5 - covering Le Web 3 and N-Gage

3 replies · 2,187 views · Started 18 December 2007

Masquerading as AAS Insight 5, audio podcast 52 sees myself, Ewan and Rafe get together to chat about 'Le Web 3', the limited 'First Access' launch of N-Gage (has Nokia fluffed it?), Sony Ericsson's UIQ part sale to Motorola, and Quickoffice 5.0.

Read on in the full article.

I am not happy.
Why wouldn�t nokia open the gaming store to the n95 8 GB I bet there�s more n95 sold than n81 I guess we can boo the marketing over at nokia for the 4th time

1 No release dates on there products
2 Can�t buy any phone you want
3 Products always out of stock

Fromfela:

1) they do have release dates by quarter. Very few if any phones/consumer electronics products have exact release dates (Apple has a different strategy of course, but even iPhone was close to being delayed a bit).

2) ??? what do you mean?

3) Nokia sells about 100 million phones a quarter. Obviously they are not out of stock all the time. Sure, new high end phones are at times, but that is normal and part of the logistical nightmare of managing a multibillion consumer electronics corporation. Nokia is the undisputed king in that, btw.

Sorry sir
I live in the USA so Nokia phones do sell out and what do you mean high end phones all Nokia phones are $375 and up anything less is a few years old and wouldn�t be a good buy in my book, (Can�t buy any phone you want) I guess it�s not all on Nokia some might be FCC, A few years ago I paid $400 for an e61 and it was a great phone up on till the cellular antenna stop working. I called Nokia and I was told that my phone isn�t supported in the USA  and my best bet would be to send it to the UAE because that�s where the phone was made for? I think that�s silly or maybe I don�t fully understand what unlock means. Okay you�re telling me marketing can�t even give a month or maybe it�s like n-gage where every device seems experimental? I have an n73, n95, g n95 8GB e90 and n82 and if you dismiss the e90 and the n73 what do you have 3 phones that are the same for a company that sells a 4 million a month one would think would be past the experimental stages
