Nokia Bought Time, But That Clock Is Ticking

, Jan 26th 2012 Discuss [20]

$1.25 billion in losses would normally be a pretty dire way to end a quarter, but Nokia managed to muster just enough sugar for lemonade with more than a million sales of its first two Windows Phone handsets. After months of “we’ll launch by the end of the year” promises, Elop & Co. came through with not one but two smartphones based on Microsoft’s OS, turning that duo into a trio at CES 2012 earlier this month. As foundations go it’s a solid start, but make no mistake: it only gets tougher from here.

Nokia sells “well over” 1m Windows Phones, still makes €1bn loss

, Jan 26th 2012 Discuss [31]

Nokia has announced its Q4 2011 financial results, and the big news is Windows Phone sales: “well over 1 million Lumia devices to date” the Finnish company claims. Still, strong out-the-gate demand for the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 weren’t enough to turn Nokia’s ailing books around: the company recorded a €954m ($1.25bn) profit loss in Q4 2011, bringing the final 2011 tally to a €1.073bn ($1.4bn) loss, down 43-percent year-on-year.

UK retailer Carphone Warehouse has yanked a pre-registration page for the launch of the Nokia Lumia 900, indicating the 4.3-inch Windows Phone will go on sale in non-LTE form come June 2012. Beyond the lack of LTE, the Lumia 900 details - previously found here but now only a memory in Google's cache - were identical to the AT&T model announced earlier this month, with an 8-megapixel camera along with a front-facing camera for video calls.

Nokia Windows Phone sales top 1.3m in 2011 tip analysts

, Jan 23rd 2012 Discuss [20]

A shortage of rival flagships and ambitious promotional work could have seen Nokia sell 1.3m Lumia Windows Phones in 2011, according to analyst averages, though the MeeGo-powered N9 could still have outsold its Microsoft-running siblings. Bloomberg took sales estimates from 22 analysts surveyed around Nokia's Windows Phone launch, with figures ranging from as many as 2m down to just 800,000. However, the estimates are over sales into the retail channel, and don't necessarily mean that many of Nokia's devices have ended up in users' pockets or bags.

Nokia pressured by mobile carriers to cut Lumia prices

, Jan 18th 2012 Discuss [10]

All the way over the pond in the UK there's pressure being pushed down on Nokia to lower the price of the Lumia line, specifically the Lumia 710 which launches there in the next few weeks, as its first devices with Windows Phone have, perhaps, not performed as well as they'd liked. This could be seen as the exact opposite of what we've seen with Apple and their ultra high command over carriers working with the iPhone since its inception. Nokia has held more than a few discussions with UK operators on what it'll do with the Lumia 710 as is launches in the market there, this perhaps reflecting what's happened in the USA.

T-Mobile USA's Nokia Lumia 710 is now available free in the US, having already been something of a bargain at just $49.95 with a new agreement. Put on sale just last week, the 710 has already been discounted down to free-with-contract by Walmart, as carrier and retailers attempt to get as many sales in as they can before the AT&T Lumia 900 goes on sale.

Will the AT&T Nokia Lumia 900 be Priced to Succeed?

, Jan 13th 2012 Discuss [52]

CES 2012 has drawn to a close, and if you’d said twelve months ago that Nokia would leave the show having introduced one of the stand-out products, the industry would’ve laughed you out of Vegas. Sure enough, though, the AT&T Nokia Lumia 900 is on everyone’s lips, delivering the slick style of the first Lumia 800 with the sort of big screen and capable camera dominating the smartphone market today. Rumors suggest it’ll drop in March, but is Nokia ready to price the LTE Lumia to succeed?
