Goodbye Nokia Cdma

[anees02 0]

Finally Nokia announces officially that it stoped cdma phones.because the cdma market is a shrink market that represents 30% of international market whereas the gsm market represents 70% of this market.but if there is any contracts with companies in north america,Nokia will produce special cdma products.

good decision looking at the quality they make.

I had been using Nokia 6255 for over 2 years and found it to be good. Nokia's quality seems to be the best irrespective of whether it is a GSM or CDMA handset. The only drawback I found was that Nokia does not have Windows based handsets.

I am confused for the different news.

Quite right... Nokia is another entity that will help in killing off CDMA ...along with RCom...

Not just CDMA, even their GSM stuff is not at all what it used to be known for...

Instead of making stupid mobiles like 2055 n 6088..

its better that they stop producing CDMA handsets..

i agree from kalpak, i had nokia 2865 whose joystick gave up in 6 months, i claimed under warranty, got two replacements after seven days and finally i switched to samsung max, when i found that!...

agreed, nokia is sustaning on brand equity. other than high end one, rest of their product line is crap. not keeping with the trends, and overpriced.

Mods plz close this topic as Nokia is back with business with the 15yrs agreement with Qualcom.

I also have been using 6265 over the last 2 years and still hanging on to it despite several problems. The phone quality is definitely good. Otherwise it would not have lasted 2 years also. LG (except the good old warhorse 2030) has severe battery problems across all its models except with the newer models like 3000 etc. And the UI is bad with LG, not as refined as Nokia. None of the LG models have Java either. And if at all it does have, you cannot do many things that you can normally do on a Nokia.

All in all, none of the brands can satisfy today's power user. Not even windows mobiles nor even Symbian mobiles. We expect more and more from a handset and if we do not get what we want, we get disillusioned with the brand.

The paradox with Nokia's ASC is with their sheer numbers. We are used to getting instant services but then this is not possible because of the sheer numbers of Nokias that are there in the market. Some of the complaints are very frivolous also. So blaming ASCs also may not be correct. Servicing of CDMA Nokias is available only with very few Nokia ASCs and since we have embraced a dying technology (not too sure if the epithet is right in this context more so because Nokia has once again tied up with Qualcomm) we have to bear all the pains.

Finally, I hope that this will not be the end of Nokia CDMA. I think they will now come double speed and hopefully 6638, 6639 Nokia CDMA (the only S60 CDMA phones) may also come out now. Hopefully, we may also get N and E series in CDMA. HOPE, HOPE and HOPE.
