savramesh 37 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) what is nokia's plan with cdma? why not if they plan for gsm+cdma handsets instead of cdma only handsets ? [will be good if they can give a gsm+cdma combination in an Nseries] or they will never turn up again in cdma? what is actually happening with them ?

mohu 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2009 Better to wait for sometime, since Reliance has rolled out GSM Services, the marketing people are trying to sell off existing CDMA handsets both high end and low end ASAP. If they are going to roll out 3G services along with Mobile number portability, it will be better to switch to GSM services since GSM services and future of 3G Services are good. --Mohu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MOBILE FAN 42 Report post Posted January 11, 2009 I agree with the logic. But for MNP, nobody is serious about it. It is still a distant dream. Till the time RCDMA is competent in tariff it would rule and have loyal customers like me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

savramesh 37 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) NOkia 8208...3g phone on CDMA platform....soon to be launched yes friends nokia press bulletin says about nokia 8208, just checked dated Feb 18, 2009 LINK Today Nokia announced an exciting new mobile device for its select CDMA markets outside the US. The 3G speed, music capability and elegant, dual–slide function of this device brings consumers high-speed, high tech combined with good looks. With its uncomplicated functionality, the new Nokia 8208 gives consumers a range of features, while turning heads with its design. “We instinctively wanted to carry out a very modern look and feel in the design of our new devices, and to bring consumers a wide range of features,” said Larry Paulson, Nokia Senior Vice President, CDMA Devices. “Consumers want devices that are beautiful to look at and reflect their individuality, but also have the functionality that keeps them connected to their world easily. This device echoes our goal to broaden the Nokia portfolio of high tech, yet stylish devices in select global CDMA markets.” The sophisticated Nokia 8208 features a smooth, dual-slide form factor, and packs a dose of entertainment with its MP3 music player and 3 megapixel camera. The Nokia 8208 provides easy access to tunes through the phone’s dedicated music buttons, where music can be played for up to 20 continuous hours. Moments in life are captured in crisp, clear photos with the 3.0 megapixel camera. For easy music storage, a 16GB external memory card slot holds up to approximately 4,000 songs in AAC+ and MP3 digital music formats. When reaching for contacts, use the Speaker-Independent Name Dialing mode for hands free dialing, or assign photos to favourite contacts to quickly see who’s calling, or sending multi-media messages. With the super fast 3G connection, no more waiting around to get to the things you most like to use. The Nokia 8208 is expected to launch in select CDMA markets, in the first quarter of 2009.

prakashkadam 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Infact, at MWC there is not much happening at Nokia even at 3G GSM side. The major launches and attractions seems to be from LG and HTC and ofcourse Palm Pre. It is here in India, where we are obsessed with Nokia. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
