Nokia’s Anssi Vanjoki, the new boss of its reshuffled and hopefully reinvigorated mobile division, has outlined his company’s future plans for mobile operating systems – and Android is not a part of them. It’s Symbian and MeeGo all the way. You have to admire their loyalty, if nothing else.
Here’s Vanjoki’s quote, as reported by New Media Age today:
“Symbian and MeeGo are the best software for our smartest devices … as such, we have no plans to use any other software. Despite rumors to the contrary, there are no plans to introduce an Android device from Nokia”
The quote comes from a much longer opinion piece from Vanjoki published over on the Official Nokia Blog last week, where he went to great lengths to outline his plans for finally, maybe, getting Nokia to compete in the smartphone arena.
HTC’s 4.3″ dual-core Android model, powered by Qualcomm’s all-new S4 processor. It’s smaller than the enormous One X, but is it as nice as its bigger brother? (SPOILER: Yes it is).
HTC is very much B-A-C-K at the top of the Android world with this, its quad-core flagship for 2012. Great camera, huge 4.7″ display and Android 4.0 running beautifully well.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ July 5, 2010Nokia need to migrate Symbian to their entry level handsets and use Android on their smartphones. MeeGoo (what a horrible name) is FAR too late to the party to even be relevant anymore.
Who wants to bet by 2013 that Nokia will have been forced to have Android on their handsets just to stay relevant?

/ January 25, 2011Nokia’s doing well enough selling 3310s to billions of children in parts of the world we’re not in. Not every telephone needs to be able to multitask Twitter and Facebook.
