| Elop’s deal revised with incentives to ‘tank’ the company? (BB CEO to make $55M if BB is sold?) Posted: 24 Sep 2013 01:17 PM PDT
Just a quick heads up on what seems to be a rather big story that it’s hit reddit’s front page (but I’m having to do some uni work atm). There is always two sides to a story but the main one painted here appears to be Nokia’s altering of Elop’s contract which gives him an incentive to ‘tank’ the company.
Interestingly, as we compare things with Blackberry, their CEO also has incentives to sell. As we’re flooded with the news that Elop was destined to crash Nokia, here are some interesting opposing opinions: Sounds like one or two of our commenters: Some are even saying Nokia never had a chance to begin with. But then again they may be the people that never saw the likes of the N95 or the fact that Nokia had existed and was number 1 for quite a long time. There was and is still potential there. Cheers All for the tip! p.s. it’s worth giving this a read. It claims Elop would have made more money if he successfully turned Nokia around – which is what some were shouting about – incentives for the benefit of Nokia.
Also note here, when we first looked at Elop’s contract. That already mentioned Elop getting more should he leave due to a change in control. Part of the hubbub was due to the current chairman saying Elop’s contract was essentially the same as OPK’s. |
| Samsung follows Nokia’s imaging success and focuses on low light imaging Posted: 24 Sep 2013 09:35 AM PDT
Some people deny the importance of imaging since Nokia’s the best at it, they try to play it down. Clearly however, Nokia’s competition are trying to figure out how they can get near Nokia. Some try fancy technology names, others try special distortion to make you think Nokia hasn’t already done those things before. Either way, there’s some sort of push in the whole industry to innovate in the imaging arena, as led by the best innovator in imaging, Nokia. Low light photography has always been something that pushed Nokia handsets above others. Remember that post when we got all nostalgic and saw TheGadgetShow when the N95 was new? Look at how it bested the iPhone at low light there. More so with the introduction of the Xenon flash beast, the N82. To the cupboard went my digital camera, solidified by the N8 and definitely the 808 if I had my own. The Nokia Lumia 920 showed the world low light photography without flash, as well as assisting in blur removal due to hand shaking. Comparisons between the competition was night and day. You get a photo that’s either black (often the case with Samsung Galaxy SIII/IV) but clearly visible on the 920. It seemed like witchcraft. Where was all this light coming from? This inspired the likes of HTC not to battle Nokia in the MP race (808 demolished it there). Whilst insulting 808 PureView, HTC really could not match the 920 (even in some instances, the large aperture 720). Apple also tried some ‘pixel binning’ in the 4S apparently, which activates in low light. That didn’t really help against the 920 though. The latest to focus on low light is Samsung, which they claim will improve light sensitivity over BSI. It’s not just the type of sensor of course but also the size, as well as the quality of the other optics involved and Nokia’s got quite the know how in mobile imaging (oddly enough to displace those who actually do produce dedicated cameras as well as phones, eh?). Hopefully by the time this is available, Nokia has produced something even better, yet still aware of the footprint of their general devices (except the next imaging flagship). Cheers Alvester for the tip! |
| Lumia 1820 Leaks, Sheds “Nokia” Branding Posted: 24 Sep 2013 07:18 AM PDT The Also note the voice command feature, which might be the new “Cortana” voice assistant app, as well as the phablet styled spacings of the Windows keys. The user also shared what appears to be the new Lumia logo, which similar to the refined Surface logo (seen on the Surface 2) drops any brand affiliation and just goes with the product name. Of course this could always be a hoax, but we don’t think so.

| Nokia World 2013 Officially Announced, Abu Dhabi October 22nd Posted: 24 Sep 2013 07:10 AM PDT We’ve known this for quite a while now, but Nokia’s next event will be held in Abu Dhabi come the 22nd of October. The event is supposed to be the unveiling of both the 6 inch Lumia 1520 phablet, and Nokia’s first ever tablet; the Lumia 2520.
Sounds exciting! Especially the choice of calling it a “Nokia World” rather than jut any old event, perhaps one last one to give the Nokia we love a proper sendoff?

| Nokia Lumia PureViews: 920 vs 925 vs 1020 Posted: 24 Sep 2013 12:19 AM PDT Quick heads up on this comparison at WPC looking at the 920, 925 and 1020.
In my own early experience so far, whilst the 1020 is awesome, the 920 and 925 with ProCam are still great too. Particularly for close up macro (they can go quite a bit closer physically than the 1020). Cheers Alvester for the tip! |
