Microsoft has started a new promotion, as a part of which it is offering customers a new Nokia Lumia 1520 or Lumia 1020 if they trade in an iPhone 4s, iPhone 4 or a Galaxy S2.
Microsoft has announced that it will be buying Nokia’s Devices and Services units.
Microsoft will paying Nokia a total of EUR 5.44 billion (approximately $7.1 billion), EUR 3.79 billion to buy Nokia’s Devices and Services business, and another EUR 1.65 billion to license Nokia’s patents.
Nokia has started airing a new Nokia Lumia 925 television ad called “Photos to remember from the night you can’t,” which pokes fun at the low-light performance of other smartphones like Apple’s iPhone.
Nokia today published a new ad for the Lumia 925, pitching the device’s camera against the iPhone 5. The entire ad pokes fun at Apple’s “Photos Every Day” ad campaign, and is even shot in pretty much the same format.
Despite its troubled condition, Nokia is developing a number of products that set it apart from other smartphone manufacturers. Today, the company announced a new Windows Phone device called the Lumia 1020 that has a 41MP camera sensor on board which could take mobile photography to an all new level.
We all know how worked up people can get when it comes to defending their mobile platform of choice, be it iPhone, Android or even Windows Phone. The sheer number of Android and iPhone users, however, make iPhone vs. Android flame wars much more common than ones that involve Windows Phone or Nokia.
When the presenter of the Finish TV show, Hjalliksen kanssa, told Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop that he has an iPhone and wanted a Nokia phone (the yet-to-be-announced Lumia 928), Elop took his iPhone and threw it on the floor.
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, but for the first time Samsung has topped Nokia as the top cellphone supplier in the world. Also not surprising, Samsung has widened its lead over Apple in the smartphone class as well.
