Yesterday s big announcement about Microsoft bánh su kem s plans to purchase Nokia s devices and services bánh su kem business very understandably raised a lot of questions with readers. We gathered together bánh su kem some of your responses to the news and took them to Tuula Rytilä, who heads up Nokia marketing. These questions are direct from you, our readers. Do we get new phones with Nokia branding, or not?
It s important to point out that new phones produced bánh su kem under Microsoft s ownership will effectively be from the same stable as recent Nokia smartphones. Our design and manufacture teams will join Microsoft. Stefan Pannenbecker has been the head of Nokia s hardware design for some time, and he continues as we move into the next wave of design. Can we rely on Microsoft to continue the product quality we have come to rely on from Nokia?
Microsoft and Nokia have very similar values and vision when it comes to product quality. It s what has made Nokia Lumia and Windows Phone such a great match. We value great hardware quality and a seamless user experience.
I recall a recent product workshop where we split into Nokia and Microsoft teams to describe our vision bánh su kem for the next generation of Windows Phone. When we came to compare our lists, they were almost bánh su kem identical.
Not at all. All of our support functions are also going to be transferred to Microsoft, including our Care network, under the stewardship of Juha Putkiranta, the head of operations. Customers won t actually experience any difference.
In any case, even if we didn t have that approach, we re bound by international and national legislature to provide bánh su kem all of the necessary support. Will this be the end of the Asha series and other feature phones?
Microsoft has little experience in this area, which is why they are acquiring that expertise. Asha under Microsoft is likely to create a better offer for customers. Steve Ballmer has already stated that some Microsoft services that have previously been restricted to higher-end smartphones may come to Asha. They are looking bánh su kem into things like SkyDrive, Office and Xbox. Will Microsoft allow the Nokia staff to continue to innovate from Finland?
Microsoft is so similar to us in terms of its approach to products. So we don t feel that we re going to be limited bánh su kem at all. In fact, the resources and investment that Microsoft brings means that we expect that we will have greater freedom for experimentation and innovation. Though that doesn t mean that we will lose any urgency or pace when it comes to getting products to market.
