The Nokia 6800, with its innovative design, is the first messaging device optimized for efficient text input. Mobile professionals can take advantage of its easy-to-use full keyboard for personal information management and messaging or otherwise inputting text. The Nokia 6800 also comes with a high-quality color display, SyncML support, email support, a stereo FM radio, as well as Java and MMS support.** The dual band Nokia 6800 is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia.
The Nokia 7250 is a svelte fashion phone with an integrated CIF camera. Boasting a full color display, support for MMS** and Java, the Nokia 7250 also incorporates a stereo FM radio and tri-band functionality. The Nokia 7250 is expected to start shipping in the first quarter 2003 globally.
The Nokia 6100 phone, the world’s smallest and lightest GPRS, MMS** phone with color display, has a slim, streamlined shape with a wide complement of features. It is a tri-band mobile phone functioning around the globe wherever GSM/GPRS 900/1800/1900 networks are available. The Nokia 6100 phone is expected to start shipping before the end of 2002.
Reflecting today’s trends in bold yet functional active lifestyle attire, the Nokia 5100 combines wearability and durability with tri-band functionality (EGSM 900/GSM 1800/1900) The Nokia 5100 phone also includes a full color display, Java and MMS functionality**, wrapped in a modern design created to inspire people with an active leisure lifestyle. Shipments are scheduled to begin globally in the first quarter 2003.
The Nokia 8910i links genuine materials with functionality and elegance in inspired ways, thereby continuing the successful design path of its predecessors. Offering MMS**, Java, Bluetooth wireless technology, HSCSD and GPRS, the sleek titanium-cased Nokia 8910i is clearly a premium phone in a class of its own. Deliveries of the Nokia 8910i (EGSM 900/1800) are expected to start in the first quarter 2003 in European, African and Asian markets.
The Nokia 2100 is the first mobile entry product, an affordable and easy-to-use mobile phone for voice and text messaging to cater to first time users in low mobile penetration markets in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. The Nokia 2100 is expected to be commercially available during the first quarter of 2003 in Europe, Africa and Asia Pacific. |

My god.
How many products do they have in their portfolio allready???
I find this rather interesting, it almost seems that their approach is flooding the market with models, so that on a regular shelf, u will have 3 Nokia's doing the same things, and 1 phone from each of the other brands . Competing with yourself isnt all that bad I guess, if the customer ends up buying a phone made by the company either way.
The logistics must be hell though. Supporting 3-4 models in every consumer class will cost a helluva lot more than have one or two best sellers. I think Nokia is a bit worried with the changing mobile market, seeing as their only way of keeping their share of the market, is making better phones but this time on an equal playing field. All their recent product releases contain a lot more products than they used to. Somebody arrest me on this if I'm wrong, but I think the current Nokia Portfolio is the largest ever.
Nokia's Picture Messaging and their custom Ringtones is basicly what made them so popular here in Norway over the years. Will be extremely interesting to see how the market evolves now that every manufactorer have those features.

I've just seen their webcast. Oh my God, they've gone crazy.  Bye, bye, SonyEricsson and rest in peace.

On quantity, Sonyericsson are already dead.
They are fifth in the world, not all operators are taking on their products any more..
I'm still hoping they can compete on quality.
They only have to release one killer handset, and everybody on this board would buy it.
But they are still scratching their heads over the P800.

SE will never die! Nokia can release 100 phones in the next year but all together will never win over P800 and SE future phones. |

they should boost their marketing prowess to be able to catch up and release more innovative cellphones to compete with them!

To clarify the point of my previous post. This is not a good sign for Nokia as a Company, it shows that they are indeed very confused about what is happening. This frantic release of phones can only mean they are not selling as well as they would like with the current models. This is indeed a changed Nokia if u compare them to the company they were only a year ago.
Look at the 8910, released not that long ago, it was supposed to be the flagship for Nokia, like the 8810 and the 8850 was. But now, only a few months after released, a successor arrives. Look at all the other phones Nokia has released, and u will see they have 3-5 different models doing the excactly same thing in every user category.
Nokia will crush SE? Maybe, but seriously people, this is the first few models that have impressed me from Nokia, for a long long time, lets wait and see until Q1 2003, and see what the other phone makers bring to the table.
Make no mistake, These latest releases have been hurried, and not part of the long term planning by Nokia IMHO. |
