London Event :Media overhype,EOS Exuberance, Brilliant Marketing Decoy?
by farhan8000 •May 14, 2013 10:55 PMConsider this,Samsung S4 and Blackberry Z10 and Q10 will have to contend with a refreshed Lumia 925 and 928 over the summer.And Samsung won't be releasing a new Samsung S5 until early next year.When Apple iphone 6 or iphone 5s is released in the fall or early September,Nokia is rolling out its next generation,redesigned Lumia variants running Quad-core 600/800s with Cameras the competition can't match and on WP8 blues or WP9 whatever MSF decides to call the updated OS with new features consumers have been craving and asking for.Nokia is now deeply involved with Windows blue design and don't be surprised to see windows blue incorporating the Smarterphone great features on Asha 501 that we have seen last week in New Delhi.
Going forward,we are going to see both MSF and Nokia really pushing each other on both OS and design of Lumia smartphones---great for consumers.Enjoy the beautiful refreshed Lumia over the summer and Fall will bring the Dream Lumia smartphones that's we all been talking about.The Lumia story continues...Sentiment: Strong Buy

All of the above. The London event was a brilliant marketing decoy from Nokia, intended goal of getting world attention was reached. Media overhype? yes because of both consumer and tech media's over exuberance and obsession of much waited Nokia Lumia 1000 AK EOS,also AK 41 Mega 8th wonder of the world....The Nokia 925 can go head to head with leading top end devices such as the darling of the autocorrect and me too plastics of the android world.
Those disappointed not witnessing the unveiling of the 8th wonder of the world Lumia 1000 cites the Lumia 925 and 928 specifications. I understand your frustration but consider the following 3 factors why we have to wait another 3 months before Nokia finally unveils the wonder kid.
1-Nokia will not release the 8th wonder of the world until Windows blues with much needed update, improved features and designed to handle quad-core 600/800 are released. Only then will you see the next generation Lumia with Quad-core 600 and 800 terrorizing the competition with drop dead designs that will have consumers climbing over each other to get one of these Lumia.Lumia 950, Lumia 1000 and Lumia Phamplet and Lumia tablet will be launched by September by all prediction. Windows blue will be released sometime between June/July/August.
2-Nokia is pursuing the right strategy by keeping consumer interest in the Lumia smartphone by releasing refreshed Lumia 920 variants until the OS is fully updated and to keep the Lumia story going with the refreshed. The Lumia 920 refreshes are beautiful and will maintain consumer, carrier and media interest in the Lumia smartphone. The top end Lumia will also filter into the lower end Lumias in terms of sales momentum and consumer interest.
3-Some investors don't have a realistic expectation. No manufacturer including Samsung and Apple can bring a top end smartphone to the market every 6 months. It’s financially, technologically and logistically impractical.Sentiment: Strong Buy

I absolutely did from start to end.Brilliant marketing from Nokia.It appears Nokia has learnt the marketing aspect and overhyping products from who else===market leaders Samsung and Apple.Anybody watched the Samsung S4 launch event in New York.You would have been excused to believe you were watching NBA pregame and not a smartphone launch event.Most media moaned about it but it was brilliant marketing from Samsung's end.

Most of you are missing the point.The london event was a brilliant marketing from Nokia.Millions have tuned to the event,the world media was in attendance and the world now knows about Lumia 920,928 and 925.On top of that,Nokia actually did what it didn't do before;educate the ignorant tech websites about the camera featuures to help them out with their review as they alwasy let their emotions and smartphone preferance biases in their reviews and mislead consumers.
The lumia 920 is still the best smartphone on the market despite the Samsung loading with unncecessary and less useful features into the S4 to of course feed the over hyped ignorant tech reviews and websites who drool over un useable and useless garbage features in smartphones.What Nokia smartphones will give you are the best and most usefull features--practicle everyday features that 99% use and appreciate.Samsung's S4 might have the latest Quadcore chip but Lumia 920s variants still perform equally faster and their performance is still very impressive because of the Windows OS which is less demanding.The major complaint was the Weight and Nokia has 2 not one flagship Lumias that will meet the need and style of every global consumer.The numbers will follow in the next two quarters.Those who are disappointed were unrealisticly waiting for Nokia to announce the Lumia smartphones that Nokia plans to announce in the 3rd quarter to go head to head with Apples new iPhone 6.
Nokia will release its next generation Lumia smartphones or call them updates from 3rd quarter ahead of the big holidays at the end of the year.Samsung is not going to release another flagship till early next year and its flagship S4 has to compete against a refreshed Lumia 920 variants and a lumia 920 that will see its price drop significantly---that's not looking good for Samsung in my opinion.Sentiment: Strong Buy

Lumia Tablet...its about time they tell the world that beautiful bby they have been keeping under wrap from the world.Lumia Tablet baby and Catwalk with 41 Mega.They ask the media to plan for an extended time which also means announcing one or two fall release smartphones may be.The 6" Lumia Phablet!!!!
Finally,it is a good time to be a Nokia Long.The Lumia story continue...Cheers all LongsSentiment: Strong Buy

Verizon is just superior to AT&T supporting and pushing a smartphone if they have the incentive to do so which I believe they do.They will make better profits pushing Lumia 928 than Samsung 4 or iPhone.They will safe at minimum 150 dollars for every Lumia they sell compared to every iphone or Samsung they sell.From what Verizon CEO has been saying publicly and Privately,Verizon is determine to break Apple and Samsung Duoplay.They needed Nokia and Blackberry support with competitive devices or comparable devices.The economics will dictate whether Verizon heavily pushes the Lumia 928.With help from MSF and NOK marketing,the Lumia 928 should sell at minimum 2 million units per quarter.

T-mobile will be carrying the 925 Lumia as its top Windows Halo smartphone.Good luck to iphone 5 competing with Lumia 925 and S4.Blackberry Q10,Z10 and iPhone 5 are just dead in the water,they can't compete with colorful Young Lumia's top end smartphones and Samsung S4.Apple which I now owned better bring its As game with the next release.No cheaper blastic iphone will safe Apple unless they completely up the market.They can't afford to even meet the current leading smartphones,they have to be on notch up because the consumer sentiment about Apple's Halo brand and its devices have seen significant erosion and unless they restore that with a wow Apple like refresh of IOS and a new iphone 6 that's just superior to the competition,Apple will see a rapid decline and complete erosion of its Halo brand as we have seen with Blackberry (crackberries have moved on..just ask blackberry!!)

Agree.Microsoft WP8 and Nokia will emerge winners in the war of ecosystem going forward.Marketing,marketing and Lumias with WP8 are winners.The more I use my windows 920 the better I appreciate the WP8 ecosystem.Lumia's with WP8 are every businessman's dream smartphone devices.I'm waiting for my Lumia Tablet in the coming weeks or months.The Nokia tablet I have seen is every man's ultimate TOY.

The real reason to investors anger in a question of WP vs Android
by ivanluchenka •May 7, 2013 11:45 PMNokia is too deep with WP8 and Microsoft,It will be disaster for Nokia to abandon Windows ship now.The Windows strategy is beginning to work and Nokia is finally seeing Lumia traction.Nokia is pursuing the right strategy in my opinion both on the Asha and Lumia lines.Nokias focus should be making a desirable Asha and Lumia devices going forward.Verizon will help though I was hoping a better designed Halo Lumia for big red but I will preserve my judgement on the 928 until I actually see it for myself,nobody has seen it yet.I like they are taking their Asha smartphones very seriously.I'm hoping eventually they will start using the Meego for the Asha smartphones because they put a lot of R &D into Meego and even though they gave it for free to Nokia's former employees led start up,they still retain the right if I understand correctly.

I Love how Idiots get hysterical sometimes.Its my understanding that the sold out at Walmart is their Website only.The Lumia 521 is just been availed at Walmart stores.I went to the Walmart in my area yesterday to take a look at the Lumia 521 design and feel and they told me they will be getting the phone soon in store but I can book it online if I can't wait.
So yes,Not every employee at Walmart is an investor who reads everything about Nokia and I guarantee you majority of Walmart employees never heard of Lumia 521 or even iphone 5.So,before you get hysterical,go back to the same stores in a couple days and they will show you 521 or tell you about it.Sentiment: Strong Buy

Government approval? Really idiot.when a carrier submits to regulatory body, that device is just few months away from the consumers hands.Regulatory fillings and carrier tests are the last and final stages of devices and executives and relevant employees have been using and testing the devices for a few months by then.And idiot, I did not say anything about selling or buying.The tablet did not even have any name on it.it was just a gorgeous looking device that will get anyone's attention or curiosity.I have an iPad and naturally anyone would have asked the my question; what tablet you got there? Blah,blah,blah....Idiots.

Really? Are some of you this empty.don't you know that Nokia senior executives and senior level IT and engineering employees are all carrying Nokia next top end devices some of which their launches are may be 12 months away.Really how stupid are some of you here.you did not hear or read somewhere that there were select journalist and bloggers that were shown nokia's 41 pixel Lumia smartphone during Barcelona, and this smartphone will not be on the market till 4th quarter.
Let me tell the idiots talking about product test.when a smart phone hits the test period, it's few months away from launch and it's the last phase of the device engineering and design process when the EOM test the device compatibility with the carriers.I will tell you right now,every product that Nokia is designing andnis intending to launch the next 12 months, senior officials and employees are carrying them with them,they are the first test of the devices.
I will say it again,you can say all the nonsense you want, I saw Nokia's tablet.What happened in that plane was spontaneous. Its what happens in flights where everyone pulls their toys and a conversation starts. First it was a short conversation about the Lumia which the Nokia executive I'm sure wanted to find out about my feelings about my Lumia, or may be he was a pleasantly surprised.And then some hours latter I wake up after a brief siesta the guy using an gorgeous looking tablet and the conversation that begun transpired with the guy disclosing he was a Nokia employee and the gorgeous hardware " I don't have to wait long for it".
If you question this information and basically some of you are calling me a stooge,then fine.But don't be so clueless and ignorant -
Ok, no more postings from me.This was a fantastic news I thought to longs which is very true and admirable from me to share but I see some on this message board have developed paranoia and skepticism about good and bad news. usually what happens when your stock gets beaten down often.
Yah.. I plan to have tea with the queen after service on Sunday and I'm having lunch with PM on Monday if that helps. -
I was traveling to London yesterday first class when I pulled my Yellow Lumia 920. A gentlemen sitting next to me ask how I like my Lumia 920? I told him I love it and then went off marketing the device as I often do when someone shows curiosity. He said he was glad I liked it and pulled out a grey Lumia 920 which looked even more impressive.I asked where he bought and said he was a Nokia employee.
To cut the story short,and to jump to my reason for posting today, the gentleman latter pulled out an iPad I have never seen,it did not have a name on it and I asked what tablet it was.The gentleman smiled and asked whether I would be interested buying it if it was Nokia.I almost jumped out of my seat and yelled Yes. He told me I don't have to wait long.
I can't remember seeing a tablet on the market that was better designed,thinner and looked just awesome. I held it for a minute and I did not want to let go.Gentleman told me he was a Nokia executive and flying to London to attend the 14 May Nokia announcement.I asked for his card but said he would not give to me since he divulge for what I understood to be the tablet.I would pay 2000 dollars for that tablet,no kidding folks.He also told me customers will be loving what Nokia has coming over the next few months. I wish I did not mention to him I was a Nokia investor because the moment I told him that he stopped talking much.
Any way,all that speculation about Nokia tablet has some real meat in it.The question is,will Nokia announce the tablet in London or some latter date.Sentiment: Strong Buy

Windoze Phone drops to 1.14% in market share as of April 2013, BlackBerry climbs to 1.51%
by phands.theheretic5 •May 2, 2013 1:36 PMNow you can't differentiate between Windows 8 operating system and Winidow 8 mobile or WP8 which has moved past 7% in the USA from 4.2 in March.WP8 which is the mobile Microsoft OS is growing at a breathtaking rate,doubling in the last 3 months in many countries including the U.S and I expect will double by June again.
Try to differentiate between the windows 8 desk OS and WP8 mobile OS before you write.You are not alone,many so called expert analyst who obviously have something against microsoft confuse between the two OS and don't bother differentiating in their haste to bash microsoft.Sentiment: Strong Buy

With approximately two weeks before its rumored launch date, the Nokia Lumia 928 might have a price set.
A thread on Reddit featured a question and answer session about the long-rumored Lumia 928, which Nokia has yet to officially confirm.
Although many of the responses by the original poster was deleted, it was noted the upcoming Windows Phone 8 smartphone will have a dimension of 5.24 x 2.71 x 0.44 inches and weigh 5.7 ounces.
The Lumia 928 may support a digital amplifier and be branded by Nokia as "Infinity Design."
As for monetary value, the Reddit post stated Nokia and Microsoft have set aside $60 million to market the upcoming smartphone. The Lumia 928 may be priced at $99 when signing a two-year contract with the carrier, most likely Verizon Wireless. For the full retail price, the device may be $599.
Nokia has not confirmed any of the details provided on Reddit, but they have confirmed a Lumia event for May 14 in London. The event didn't specific what it'll entail but it is likely the place for the Lumia 928 to debut.
The confirmation of the May event comes as Bloomberg first reported an event would occur next month. The report noted the Lumia 928 and how it will have a metal casing, 4.5-inch touchscreen, an 8-megapixel camera, and wireless charging.Sentiment: Strong Buy

Nokia has sent out an invite for a global launch in Delhi on May 9. The invite just mentions it’s “Time to Shift Gears” and does not provide any details. This global announcement precedes Nokia’s May 14 announcement in London, where it is expected to unveil the Catwalk.
Earlier, CEO Stephen Elop had indicated that the company would be launching next generation of its Lumia and Asha devices soon. Considering that the event is taking place in Delhi, we can expect some new Asha devices. However, Gears is Nokia’s accessories division so it could even have something to do with that. However, it is very unlikely for Nokia to invite journalists for a global launch for accessories.Sentiment: Strong Buy

I consider my wife an unbiased opiniator and was an iphone 4 user.I switched her to Lumia 920.She does not miss her iphone and considers Windows phone and lumia 920 better overall.She complained about the size inially but does not consider the wt an issue now.With windows,you just need 5 or 10 minutes to pilot the OS and the product and you will fall in love with it.
I used my wife iphone 2 weeks ago for about 5 days while I was waiting my Lumia 920 replacement and I greatly missed my Lumia 920.I honestly thought I went 2 years back in time using the iphone 4.No kidding guys.Sentiment: Strong Buy
