Why buy them when you have already infiltrated and neutralized them ?
- davidw 14y agoAs a channel to push your phone OS, of course.
- betterth 14y agoLooks like they didn't have to buy them to get those perks.
- SlipperySlope 14y agoBecause Nokia will burn through its remaining cash within two years at the current loss rate and otherwise go bankrupt - perhaps fatally tarnishing Windows as a phone operating system.
- Nelson69 14y agoThe belief is that with China and Nokia building middle classes, there will be a gigantic market for $25 phones. Not smartphones, but just phones, like Nokia is really good at making. Thing is, it's a telco company, they are all horrible.
- powertower 14y agoThe only way they are going to make money in China on a $25 phone is if they tie it into a monthly or pre-paid plan. Otherwise, the margins are going to be slim, non-existent, or in the red on those phones.
- fpgeek 14y agoI wonder how $25 Nokia dumbphones will do against the $25 Android phones that are coming (a bit more than a factor of 2 to go - we've already $50 off-contract during the right sale).
