Multimedia On Non Multimedia Phones
from the just-how-do-you-do-that? dept
Nokia is apparently launching a service in Europe (and possibly elsewhere) to allow those of you with Nokia phones to get multimedia messages on your phone. Considering the fact that the phones are only designed to get text messages, how are they planning on doing this? Well, that's the trick. They're just going to send you a message on your phone that points you to a website... which you can't check until you get to a real computer with internet access. Apparently, they expect people to pay for this service.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
