You mean like Lumia Phones, Nokia Maps, Nokia Free Music...
I love their apps and hardware but I do however disagree with their stance on enforcing unnecessary patents!
- nitrogen 14y agoNokia's still little more than a blip on the smartphone radar. Their alliance with Microsoft was an effort to save their smartphone division, and it's affecting other areas of their business. First they laid off the entire Qt team, now they're attacking open standards. It's like SCO all over again.
- btilly 14y agoSCO worked out pretty well for Microsoft the first time. Years of distraction from a dead company, they got to pay off David Boise in return for his dropping the anti-trust case, and nobody successfully followed the money trail back to Microsoft in any way that mattered. Why wouldn't they try to do it again?
- nitrogen 14y agoWhy wouldn't they try to do it again? Indeed, but it still makes me wish I were born on Mars or something.
- anoncow 14y agoI like their subscription music service (Many labels are not available though). But this patent troll stance makes me feel that nokia is being used to fight unnecessary rivalries.
