Strangest Phones Ever Made By Nokia

Strangest Phones Ever Made By Nokia

Nokia designed some good but strange-looking devices in this period.

The former cell phone hulk is no more, as this giant industry continues to shift away from designing mobile devices to developing networking gear.  Ever since the company has prevent from returning to mobile making in the future, now it’s the best time to look back at its design heyday.

During the years of 2000’s when mobile devices were the must have gadget, Nokia would surprise its customer base every week with a new design – sometimes with traditional or astound phone with variety and delightful shapes.

However they weren’t the most popular devices Nokia had.  For instance the Nokia 7600 was squareish device with round croner’s with jewel design, as defined by some.  But it seemed silly to hold, make alone to call with.  And sold in low thousands.

Nokia 3650 was one of the more traditional with bold design, reimagined with an older rotary dial pad.  Wasn’t the most popular device the company ever made but the props made by the designers were something eccentric.

Nokia devices were designed to have core function like gaming or music devices.

It was a good time. It was a different time. So, why not relive it?

Leaked Images Of New Microsoft Nokia Smartphone

Leaked Images Of New Microsoft Nokia Smartphone

Microsoft recently announced three smartphones with Nokia branding, named Lumia 830, 730 and 735. However, this launch was soon followed by reports of Microsoft doing away with Nokia branding on future mobile phones. And now we have the leaked photos of the first smartphone sans the Nokia name.

The images, leaked by French website Nowhereelse.fr, show a big-screen smartphone with ultra-thin bezels, suggesting it may be a top-end device as most manufacturers keep such design innovations for their top models.

Above the display where usually the Nokia name is seen is the branding of Microsoft. Thus, this smartphone may be the first one to bear the Microsoft name. However, the smartphones in the upcoming range will continue to be called Lumias, reports suggest.

Earlier, a report said that Lumia 830, 730 and 835 will be the last smartphones to hit the market with Nokia branding. As part of the deal with Nokia, Microsoft can use the Nokia brand on its mobile phones for a period of 10 years.

It also said that Microsoft will do away with the 'Phone' in the name of its mobile operating system Windows Phone. In July, CEO Satya Nadella had announced that all major versions of Windows will eventually merge into one platform.

According to the rumor mill, the next major version of Windows operating system will integrate various Microsoft software together.

What the helllll

Like many start ups, LinkedIn had its share of problems when it first started out.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal's Andy Kessler, LinkedIn's founder and CEO Reid Hoffman explains that when LinkedIn was getting off the ground, some companies resisted the business-oriented social network, even banning their employees from using the site.

One of those companies was Nokia. 

"In the very early days, Nokia banned LinkedIn because they said your title was company internal information so you couldn't publish that," Hoffman says.

But employees found away around their company's regulations, he says. "To show you the power of the networks, 22 people resigned and usage at Nokia continued at the exact same rate as it was before. Employees would just use it at home."

Human resource departments liked that LinkedIn made it possible to find new talent, but they didn't want their own employees touting their accomplishments and making themselves visible to others. "They would prefer their own employees are completely undiscoverable to the world," Hoffman says.Even investment banks turned off access to LinkedIn, citing compliance issues as the reason. But employees again found a way around this, Hoffman says. "People would go home and use it in the evening."

Things have certainly changed for the company since the early days - when it first started in 2003 it had around 4,500 members; it now boasts more than 300 million. And it seems to be staying on that path. Sales are approaching $2 billion annually, The Wall Street Journal reports.

Hoffman says that LinkedIn is a two-way street: Companies should invest to keep their employees employable, and employees should work to keep their companies valuable and growing.

"What everyone knows is that when you hire someone, there is a good chance they will eventually work for someone else," Hoffman said. "Employees know there is some chance the job they have will go away at some point. That doesn't allow you to invest in the future. You need to keep employees progressing on their career."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Kills Nokia's Android Phones:-

Microsoft announced Thursday it will abandon Android in a new line of Nokia phones that launched this spring.The Nokia X line of phones, which launched before Nokia was officially acquired by Microsoft, ran a modified version of Android packed with Microsoft services like Outlook, Bing, and Skype instead of the Google services that come with most Android phones.

The move was highly controversial at the time because everyone knew Nokia was about to become part of Microsoft, and Microsoft is all about the Windows Phone platform. One Microsoft source told Business Insider at the time that Nokia's decision to use Android was "embarrassing."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a memo to employees Thursday that the Nokia X smartphones will shift to Windows Phone instead of Android. 

The announcement was part of Nadella's plan to eliminate up to 18,000 jobs, most of them from Nokia.
