Hmm I like the Idea for Alcatel since the Nokia service centers nad warranty should be better
Zobel says:
This could impact the joint venture with TCL. If not magmamahal na naman ang phones nila. Which would lead to lower sales. Which would lead to financial struggling for Nokia. Again.
lol says:
lol people are connecting this to nokia making consumer devices again. this concerns network equipment, not the alcatel phones you know.
Michael says:
so what’s really the plan? Nokia once the top phone maker.
Takenote says:
Take note nowadays there is no such thing as Nokia phones! Binili na po un ng Microsoft.. Telecom po nila pinaguusapan natin
goryo says:
guys, I think this is not related to mobile devices but rather on the network element side. yung mobile phone division of nokia is already sold to microsoft right? any ideas?
Windows iDroid says:
Network Infrastructure division po yang mga yan ah tsaka Alcatel-Lucent is not Alcatel na yung phone, hindi sila may ari nun TCL na, wag i-connect yung Alcatel na phones sa Alcatel-Lucent. Mamaya sabihin niyo “Ayun Nokia na gagawa ng mga Alcatel na phones!” again Network Infrastructures.
Zobel says:
TCL6only licenses the name from Alcatel (why would anyone be moronic enough to do that is beyond me.) And Nokia is only not allowed to make smartphones for 10 years after the deal with the devil, err, Microsoft. So pwede talaga nilang gamitin ang Alcatel as a launch pad for their over priced phones. –
Gorio says:
Guys, this is purely on the network side of Nokia’s business targeting enterprise customers. The move was strategic and is aimed at challenging incumbent Ericsson and to some extent, Huawei, in global telecom equipment. Don’t confuse the deal as having any implications towards consumer mobile devices. $0.2.
