Nokia promises to "wow" with announcements (video)
Share:
"Some of the things you'll see you'll look at and say 'wow, this has clearly been years in the making, it's wonderful work— this is the thing that Nokia has always been known for," Elop said in an interview for the Wall Street Journal.
Nokia’s head showed great confidence in the upcoming devices and said they are a part of an ongoing plan, the next step in the development for Nokia’s Lumia lineup of Windows Phone smartphones.
When asked about Samsung’s ATIV S, the first officially announced Windows Phone 8 phone, Elop smiled and convincingly explained that on September 5th Nokia will be showing “the very first working Windows Phone device” with the focus on “working,” obviously as opposed to Samsung’s ATIV S that we don’t know all that much about.
After nearly two years at the helm at Espoo, Finland, Elop also promised that today will be the first time for us to see the “full power and might of the Nokia R&D team” and the “fully differentiated experience” on Lumias. And while investors are not so certain and generally bearish for Nokia's prospects, but there is still hope for the company. Stay tuned, the event kicks off in less than two hours and we’ll be covering it live.

That's the only part I believe in his whole statement. Now that Nokia has the OS it needs to unleash all its power to compete with the others.

Elop is just the voice of the company. I'm supremely confident in the company behind him

That part when he said that, my hopes got high. I have big trust on Nokia R&D. They're among the best in the world.
I hope elop won't make all this hype come to nothing. Nokia fans are waiting patiently for a nokia device that could unleash their true power.
*fingers crossed*

Can't wait. Nokia and WP are the saving grace from the generic iCrud and Android devices.

I'm excited for Nokia and hope they succeed. More players in the market equal better competition in prices, hardware, and design. Here's to Nokia pulling through. :)

please make us "WOW" for another time just like you had did in MWC about Pureview

I was wowed by the technology not the phone itself.

thats what pureview was made for phone was just a prototype of the technology it was not to compete with anything

I don't understand why people demonstrate such hatred for Elop. He is the CEO of a major company, that has a board. It's not like he just sits behind a desk ruling with an iron fist, and makes decisions all on his own. The board runs the company, he is just the voice of their decisions. No CEO has that authority, unless he is a majority share holder. With that being said, I'm very excited to see what Nokia brings to the WP game today. Samsung has presented the ATIV S already, which looks to be a solid device. I hope Nokia can bring something that will blow us all away! Whatever they, HTC, and other manufacturers bring will only increse competition(choice for the consumer), and help boost the ecosystem of the BEST OS!

So "Single-core is enough, multi-core is useless" is the idea of the whole company, right?

its because people dont think at all about a company structure

That's not quite how companies usually run. The company board does sit at the top and they have the decision making power but it is really the CEO's job to develop the strategy and to run the company. The CEO is the captain of the ship and he steers it even though he may not own a majority share in it.
Elop must have presented an extremely convincing case to the Nokia Board for them to have agreed to take Nokia down this WP route.

You guys haven't seen anything yet... Stephen, a Chief executive will not be someone to boast without having something to brag about. I'm sure Nokia will come up with something exquisite!
