Li xuesong, deputy general manager of Xinjiang mobile, said in a recent interview with reporters: "Nokia's TD mobile phone 6788i is still at the level of N95 three years ago ."
Throughout the Nokia launched, the number of only four area of the TD mobile phone, from 6788/6788 I to X5-00, C5-01, is actually a kind of hardware platform, all are the CPU + Baseband Communication modules provided by St-Ericsson, and then the peripheral additional functions (such as cameras and GPS) are selected and matched. This shows that Nokia's TD mobile phone, for Nokia, it is just a kind of response. From the bottom of its heart, Nokia is not willing to see the success of TD.
Now Nokia is no longer the king of mobile phones. Although Nokia still ranks first in the world in terms of the total number of mobile phones.
However, mobile phones, with the times, have undergone profound changes and have changed from a communication tool to a network data processing terminal.
On the other hand, the era of smartphones has begun to emerge. In the horn of the iPhone, the wave of smartphones replacing ordinary phones is a wave of waves, not just in quantity, mobile phones are actually being transferred to smartphones. More importantly, in terms of profits, mobile phones are being transferred to smartphones at a higher speed.
Apple, which produces iPhone phones, has a profit margin far beyond Nokia, even though its total output is only 10 million. It still has hundreds of millions of mobile phones.
Before such a severe situation, giving up 0.5 billion of Chinese mobile users can only be called a suicide act for Nokia.
Therefore, whether Nokia is willing or not, whether or not this action will harm Nokia's long-term interests-here we refer to the success of TD, it will be harmful to the products of the European 3G standard group, one of Nokia's main players. In order to survive until dawn, Nokia will not be able to intervene in the tide of TD.
