My cousin works for Nokia in Finland and he just showed me a prototype of an Android phone they're releasing in January 2016. It fucking BENDS!!! The fucking screen BENDS!!! You can even wear it around your fucking arm!!!!
He told me Nokia also still owns all their phone patents.
>>51984349
Apple and Google already have bendable phones
You spelled Microsoft wrong
so its time to buy nokia shares?
Smartphones are overrated, I sold mine couple months ago on ebay and never looked back. Now I can take nice walks in the forest without getting bothered by idiots who can just as well write me a physical letter when then want to communicate with me.
Advantages of having a phone that can bend round your arm like one of those 90s snap toys: none.
Except of course being able to ham it up at the release event as latest innovashun gimmick/
>>51984349
another example of how Nokia is a dead company and desperately copying other peoples ideas

>>51984360
Their phones break from bending though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEs8HQIa9Nc
>>51984377
Microsoft didn't buy anything but factories and employees. Nokia owns all the patents still and has rebuilt a hardware department.
>>51984390
Probably
>>51984416
Nah, the main point would be that you don't have a fucking brick in your pocket. It will bend and thus be much more comfortable to hold in say front trouser pockets.
Not sure is op trolling, but there have been rumors of something like this.
>>51984422
Puhlees! Nokia video from 7 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX-gTobCJHs
If it comes out in 1 month why wasn't it announced.
>>51984377
Read and weep: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-nokia-microsoft-patents-idUSBRE9820ZZ20130903
>Why Nokia didn't sell its patents to Microsoft
>Nokia may have sold its handset business to Microsoft Corp, but by hanging on to its valuable patent portfolio, the Finnish company could also get a big future payoff
>"For Nokia to sell the business, and not sell the patents, there must be something else cooking to recover value,"
>>51984349
Thanks to you, your cousin is now a dead man.
>>51984491
Their deal with Microsoft for the use of the Nokia name on phones only runs out at the end of 2015. They can't say anything until 2016.
>>51984582
But they can privately contract a manufacturer (or their own) to put the Nokia name on products running WP.
>>51984606
NO.
>>51984606
No, they're also not interested in Windows Phone.
Good, I want my invincible phone.
>>51984349
Proofs?
>>51984349
bullshit. why the fuck would microsoft buy nokia instead of some other shitty company then?
bullshit!!
they didn't even have resource to built phone anymore.
also they knew they will be slaughter by chink manufacturer if they make phone again.
in this retard world
iphone=rich
android=poor
>>51984781
>iphone 6
>$5 a month on contract
lel
>>51984843
what I mean is if nokia want to compete high end they will be killed by apple
if compete with mid range and low end they will be killed by chink manufacturer
see LG, HTC, motorola, sony and nokia itself
sorry for my bad english
>>51984720
Protip: Microsoft didn't buy Nokia. They bought hardware factories and employees. Nokia is a seperate independent company.

>"When I joined in September of 2014, I was tasked with coming up with a new strategy for Nokia Technologies," Ramzi Haidamus, president of Nokia Technologies tells me.
>"You have to remember that this team is eager to get back into the game," Haidamus stresses. "This is the first product from Nokia Technologies since the phone days, and they just really wanted to outdo themselves."

>sorry for my bad english
when was u wen nokia is die
i was home playing snake then fred is of ring
"nokia is kill"
"no"
>>51984901
Not really, the $300-400 mid-range market has a lot of shitty phones.
>>51984415
Why not just put your phone on airplane mode?
Thats a lie
Nobody talks with their cousins
>>51984949
in $300-400 range normies just opted to buy iPhone 5s or iPhone 6
I also hate this situation but this is facts
>>51984781
>they didn't even have resource to built phone anymore.
They have billions in cash, a profitable business and a huge amount of research and patents. They invented bendable displays http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/28/a-grand-tour-of-nanotechnology-at-nokia-research-center-cambrid/
>also they knew they will be slaughter by chink manufacturer if they make phone again.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH
Do you know how easy it is to make a phone nowadays? Every top Asian manufacturer is falling over themselves to work with Nokia.
>Nokia's chief executive officer Rajeev Suri has confirmed that after the company's licensing agreement with Microsoft expires in 2016, Nokia will return to the smartphone market.
>As part of this transition, Foxconn will make Nokia's first Android smartphone, which will be first released in China, India, and some European countries. Foxconn is a Taiwan-based original equipment manufacturer and already produces many Apple iPhone components.

Lmao there's nothing on /g/ that makes me smile more than shills of any large tech company in full damage control mode.

>>51985153
Why are you projecting?

>>As part of this transition, Foxconn will make Nokia's first Android smartphone, which will be first released in China, India, and some European countries.
USA once again left out.
>>51985305
Irrelevant market tbqh. Religion of Apple dominates in America.
>>51984390
Yes. Base your portfolio around comments on a website that don't even require so much as an email address to post on.
>>51984416
Similarly, the main point of a water resistant phone isn't so you can't take close-ups of coral reefs.
>/g/ is really this autistic
How can you safely bend a mobo?
Or RAM?
Or a CPU?
This board needs to be purged.
>>51985405
Everything is a flex cable.
>>51984349
There are no jobs in Finland, therefore your cousin cannot be working here.
Conclusion: It's a lie.
