| Nokia Lumia 920 Made Available in UK, Short Tour of Stores Reveals Unprepared Employees Posted: 11 Nov 2012 09:38 AM PST
I can’t help but wonder how exactly does Nokia expect to sell its new Lumia phones considering some of the employees at various retailers and carrier chains are totally unprepared. The folks of Mynokiablog.com took a stroll in some local stores selling the Lumia 920 and came out unimpressed by the employees, who were not exactly well prepared. It’s also worth mentioning that this is happening in the UK and that the handset debuted over there.
In USA the handset was met with moderate queues in front of AT&T stores on Friday and now it’s invading Europe, if we can say that. The handset is available in the UK for now at Phones4U, T-Mobile and Orange, with the latter two offering the black and white versions. Phones4U offer the red and yellow version and the preferred choice of contract combo here is Everything/Everywhere. Nokia Lumia 920 is described as a “beautiful thing” when seen in person, with the focus being on the yellow version, that really steals the show. There was a nice introduction at Phones4U about Nokia and its history, about the first phone call made in Finland or about how widespread the brand became, even more popular than toothbrushes. However, people didn’t detail what the public actually needs: the features of the Lumia 920. I mean it has a killer PureView 8.7 megapixel camera, so you don’t need to talk about Nokia’s past, right? It also has a PureMotion HD+ screen, that can be used with gloves and wireless charging, all of those being selling points… Hopefully retail staff will be more prepared in the coming weeks, before holidays come.

| HTC and Apple Kiss and Make Up in a Global Settlement, Lasting 10 Years Posted: 11 Nov 2012 09:25 AM PST
HTC and Apple did have a court dispute, but it was never at the magnitude of the Samsung battles. The peak of their battle was when a few hot newcomer smartphones including the HTC One X were held at the US customs this spring, while Apple’s accusations were analyzed. It eventually went away and now HTC and Apple have made peace, an official peace, that involves signing a settlement for 10 years.
Apple also won big time in December last year, when the court imposed a formal import ban on HTC devices starting in April 2012, the one that resulted in the customs problem we mentioned. Now both Apple and HTC have issued a joint press release saying they’ve reached a global settlement and a 10 year long licensing agreement. The terms of the agreement have not been made public, but we do know that they guarantee the two companies’ cooperation with one another. Peter Chou, HTC CEO said that HTC is pleased to have solved this dispute with Apple, so it can focus on innovation and not litigation. Tim Cook also said talked about innovation and how glad he is about the settlement. Will there be a day when we hear similar stuff related to Samsung? Related posts:
