Nokia Had To Choose Windows Phone, Can They Make The Strategy Work?


This week’s news from Nokia, including corporate restructuring, lowered income projections, and losses for Q2 2012 expected to be in the hundreds of millions, would not have made comfortable reading for the Finnish company. Switching to a new mobile operating system was always going to cause a lot of necessary financial pain, the question for CEO Stephen Elop and the Nokia Board is simple. Will they be able to follow their chosen strategy, and will Windows Phone deliver for them?

It’s important to remember just how bad the market perceptions of Nokia were on February 10th 2011, the day before Stephen Elop announced the new direction for the Finnish company. Ewan McLeod summed it up succulently:

    What is clear is that something big has to happen. When even the credit rating agencies start sabre rattling, it’s time for a significant change in strategy.

    As far as many are concerned, Nokia is well past the ‘written off’ stage and wading through the swamp of irrelevance as far as many are concerned. The N97 didn’t help. The N8 (despite selling pretty well) solidified the market’s perspective: Change, please.

    The fact the company is still shipping hundreds of millions of devices means next to nothing in the eyes of the Western tech/media/marketplace. It would have been fine if Nokia announced it was only focusing on the developing markets by only producing feature phones. The market would have left Nokia alone.  Nokia’s inability to at least half-delight the tech media/market with smart, exciting and fun devices and services, especially in the high end, has made life very, very difficult for them.

The choice was simple. Android or Windows Phone. Whichever would give Nokia the most benefit in the medium to long term would be the sensible choice.

Android would have allowed Nokia to turn around a new handset in short order, but locked them into an ecosystem where they would struggle to be a leader – they would be subservient to Google in terms of the core software, and both Samsung and HTC were already established hardware players who understood what was required to make the grade with an Android handset.

Microsoft’s newer Windows Phone platform would allow Nokia to significantly influence the direction of the platform. Nokia would be the biggest fish in the pond, although they would have a huge responsibility to grow that pond in conjunction with the Redmond based company.

Nokia went for the latter, and I still agree with that decision. It gave the Finnish company a far better shot at being a distinctive smartphone player in the second decade of the twenty first century, rather than yet another company churning out Android devices.

What has pulled Nokia down is not the choice of strategy, but how the changeover from Symbian to Windows Phone has been implemented. The ‘Burning Platform’ memo committed Nokia to winding down Symbian and gave a clear message that the future of Nokia was Windows Phone. Nokia’s expectation of Symbian sales slowly descending as Windows Phone took over was measured in years… the market reaction was measured in months.

Nokia have to live with the mistakes made in the transition and must remain committed to their strategy. The parts of the company that are surplus to requirement are being stripped away; the Asha handset range (powered by Nokia’s Series 40 OS) continues to deliver solid sales and volume; and the next major step in the strategy will happen in a few months time… the reveal of Windows 8 and whatever handset Nokia have designed around the next version of the mobile OS.

Nokia is far from finished playing out the Windows Phone strategy. Whatever you do, don’t count them out of the match yet.

YOU could be forgiven for thinking the end of the camcorder is nigh. When smartphones aren't stealing their thunder, digital SLRs are proving they can capture moving images just as well, if not better, than their dedicated video camera peers.

With these challenges, camcorders need to stand out to survive.

Mercifully, Panasonic's latest mid-range video camera offers important additions that a willing audience could find very appealing.

For starters, the HC-V700 has lens power that simply will not fit inside a mobile phone.

Not only does its lens start from a wide angle of 28mm, to fit more into the frame from a close distance, but it features a 21x optical zoom and what Panasonic dubs a 46x "Intelligent Zoom".

This added range is achieved by an usual method.

Rather than simply blowing up existing pixels, the system employed by most digital zooms, the Intelligent Zoom crops the image down, retaining most of its detail.

Another major benefit to this camcorder is its advanced optical image stabilisation. Panasonic calls it Hybrid OIS+ and promises it will correct movement and reduce blur in your videos.

Stabilisation kicks in automatically in the camera's iA mode and instantly smooths video, even when you've stretched its zoom to the limit.

Another feature of note is this camera's unusual sensor.

Rather than using three small sensors, the V700 packs in a single larger-than-usual CMOS sensor to capture footage and uses backlight illumination to work better in low light.

Image quality from this video camera was solid, on the whole, and video can be recorded in full high-definition and 50 frames per second in AVCHD format. While the V700 is likely to appeal to point-and-shoot customers, users can manually tweak its settings too, from white balance to shutter speed.

These controls appear on its 3-inch touchscreen and are easy to access.

Some controls are harder to use than others, however.

Setting the camera's manual focus using the screen is tough.

The V700 also has some baffling omissions.

While you can fit an external microphone to this camera, you cannot plug in headphones to monitor sound.

Also, the camera lacks any built-in storage - you must record to your own SD card - and the colours tend to look washed out.

However, at 270g and just 8.2cm long, the HC-V700 camcorder is a highly portable video camera and one that fans of faraway images should appreciate.

The 9780 is a well-made phone, there’s no doubting that, but on the outside, it’s the 9700 all over again. The same casing, same great keyboard, and even the same screen survived the jump from 9700 to 9780. It might sound like a bad thing to reuse old parts, but why make something new when the old is near perfection?This is certainly one of the easiest to use phones in production right now. The 9780’s keyboard is brilliantly accessible for any use. Many people find themselves writing novel length messages on it simply because it is such an ease to type smoothly and quickly without discomfort becoming an issue. The screen is also nice, featuring a perfect size for its function and never makes you feel like it’s too cramped.Carrying the Bold 9780 certainly garners a bit more respect than many other smart phones. Blackberry is, of course, the classic business phone. Its soft-touch exterior is not only a comfortable fit in your hand; it’s also a great, sleek looking phone.This is a phone for professionals, or at least for people who like to look like a professional. When someone sees you using your Blackberry, there’s a good chance they think you’re doing something important. Maybe you’re finishing up that report for your boss, or looking over your client’s proposal, who knows? All you know is, you’re not having any trouble doing what you need to do with the 9780.
It’s What’s On The Inside That Counts: BlackBerry Bold 9780
The 9780 may be a near carbon copy of its predecessor, but believe it or not you’ll find a few improvements on the inside that all work, and work well. The 9780 has a new camera, double the flash memory of the 9700, and higher resolution video recording. Also included is the newest Blackberry OS firmware, a great and welcome addition, but not a good incentive for upgrading. Let me explain why Blackberry 6 OSThe Bold 9780 shipped with Blackberry’s latest firmware, Blackberry 6. This firmware is a great upgrade from 5, and features a much easier to use interface, better performance results, and a massively upgraded web browser.Blackberry 6 was RIM’s response to users saying their firmware felt aged. 5 was growing old faster than expected, and it was time for change. The overall interface of 6 improves over its predecessor in nearly every way. The interface looked fresh, and was much less clunky than 5, allowing users to do almost everything in a smoother fashion with fewer problems.The biggest upgrade in RIM’s OS is the web browser. Before upgrading to 6, most people did little more than check email on their Blackberry. However, since 6 was released, these same people often stay up for hours at night surfing the web with RIM’s seamlessly integrated browser.Though Blackberry 6 is a great operating system, and works in near perfection with the 9780, it’s not a reason to upgrade if you currently own the 9700. Why? Well, because you can already upgrade to 6, and better yet, you can do it for free. Blackberry 6 was released as a free downloadable upgrade for both the Bold 9700 and the Curve 3G in April of 2011. So one of the biggest reasons to go ahead and upgrade to the 9780 is already lost as RIM released it for free. Probably not the best marketing decision made by Research In Motion,
but certainly a great one for the customers.Say Cheese!The Blackberry Bold

9780 features a new, better camera that shoots with a resolution of 5 megapixels, quite an upgrade from the 9700’s 3.2 megapixel camera. This 5 MP resolution is perfect for the average person, and still holds up well against competitors almost two years after release.Video on the 9780 isn’t too shabby either, recording all of your life’s happenings at a whopping 640x480 resolution. OK, so you won’t be doing any camera work for James Cameron, but you will have a decent looking video to share with your friends and to post on Facebook, which is pretty much all you can do with a video phone no matter how good it claims to be.Want to play a game?Well, too bad. Blackberry never has, nor ever will be a phone made for game enthusiasts. At best, a large franchise, such as Need for Speed, occasionally makes a decent port for Blackberry to advertise their console or PC game.The biggest problem for game developers on this smartphone is that the Bold series of phones do not support Open GL graphics rendering.Long live the charge!Blackberry’s aren’t quite known for their battery life, but it looks like RIM decided to change that with the Bold series. The 9780 features a great long life battery for a smartphone, boasting up to 6 hours talk time, and 408 hours of life while in standby. Unless you use the smartphone almost constantly, you can plan on seeing the battery meter over 50% even after a long day’s use.
BlackBerry Bold 9780: In a Few Words
It’s hard to go wrong with this phone, in fact, it’s nearly impossible. With this sleek design, the easy to use keyboard, and even the incredible web browsing, the Blackberry Bold 9780 is a force to be reckoned with. Unless you already own the 9700 or want to play many games, I highly recommend this phone as a reliable, professional alternative to childish smartphones plaguing the mobilemarket.
