How To Piss Off Nokia's CEO: See Nothing Wrong With Your Current Phone
Having just posted a story saying that new features were helping to boost sales of new mobile phones, Fast Company has an article pointing out the other side of the equation. They say that the way to piss off Nokia's CEO is to mention to him that you're thrilled with your old reliable phone and plan to keep it as long as possible. The fact is, most people still do look at mobile phones for voice phone calls. To them, the most important thing is that the phone work for voice calls, and adding features that make the service quality worse or the battery-life shorter go against those goals.
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.
