Nokia with 4G devices by 2010... for Verizon?
Share this page:
Maybe some of you are already willing to ask which would be the carrier that Nokia is going to work with to deliver the future handsets to the market. While there isn’t any official information on the case right now, there are some rumors, suggesting that the manufacturer might have reached for Verizon’s helping hand in order to regain some of its lost market positions in the U.S. Moreover, Verizon will also benefit from the pact, since the carrier surely remembers how AT&T managed to take over a large part of the U.S. smartphone market by signing with Apple for its iPhone. So far, details about their secret project are too scarce; all that is known about it is that it would be a high-speed 4G LTE handset capable of HD video and other services, demanding high-speed data transfers.

" Moreover, Verizon will also benefit from the pact, since the carrier surely remembers how AT&T managed to take over a large part of the U.S. smartphone market by signing with Apple for its iPhone." The Iphone is NOT a smartphone. Its missing half of the features needed to be a smartphone.

I'm guessing you would say that Sprint's 8330 Curve just became a smart phone since before the last s/w update it was unable to pix message.

Seeing as how that is the only thing missing from it that is hardly a fair comparison. The Iphone is lacking a multitude of what should be standard features, even for a normal phone let alone a smartphone.

it can not multi task, cut n paste, send vid/ pic messages, TAKE VID, have advanced securities, ect ect ect. there are many things that make a smart phone a smart phone. Iphone is NOT a smart phone. it is marketed like that for all the idiots that dont know any better. Just like ATT's "more bars in more places" really means "we have roaming agreements with GSM carriers in europe, not that they have better coverage in america. Its amazing, that ATT explorer guy on the commericials always finds internet in the wierdest places, but NONE of them are in AMERICA! :)

This seems strange that Nokia will be hooking up with VZW; especially since we know their track record with CDMA devices. Nokia hasn't had decent phones with VZW since the old "bar style" handsets ( although the i6315 was highly UNDERrated ).

well, if your CDMA choices were left to VZW or Sprint.... who would you choose? The giant luxury cruiser or the titanic?

well sprint has the instinct which was the only phone to beat out the iphone at every award show but still IS NOT a smartphone

i have to agree with legion here. i hate when people think the iphone is a smartphone or a pda. its just a touch screen thats it with a bunch of mostly useless apps. oh and it cant be insured or have the battery removed WTF is that all about anyway? stupid crappy iphone lol
