Nokia Exec Sees Little Hope For Next Generation Phones
Anssi Vanjoki, an Executive VP for Nokia said today that the various 2G/2.5G/3G labels mean nothing if consumers don't see any difference. While the headline of the article makes it sound like he's trashing 3G, he's not. He's actually just saying that MMS on a 2.5G phone is a noticeable difference - and that's what consumers will care about more than the speed difference between 2.5G and 3G. Actually, the real headline is even more misleading because they call him the CEO instead of an executive VP. Makes you wonder what article the headline writer was reading.
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.
