Nokia Lumia 800 and Lumia 710: A strategy to reach every type of customers
Today Nokia has announced its very first two Windows Phone OS based devices, Lumia 800 (the high-end smartphone) and Lumia 710 (an affordable smartphone). Well this has always been the main strategy of Nokia to launch new devices to reach every type of customers taking from budget devices to the high-end device. Which actually is a good thing to make more of its fans/customers happy with the latest devices. Same goes with these new Windows Phone devices, the Nokia Lumia 800 is costly with more impression to its build quality and on the other hand Nokia Lumia 710 is an affordable device with a bit lower quality materiel used to make it less expensive – Not actually that lower quality at all but lower than Lumia 800. The hardware in both device are much identical at some places.
Yes! of course these are not related to Nokia directly but of course they do now being Windows Phone devices. The alarming thing is that Nokia seems not having planned any thing like staying away and supporting only their own Windows Phone devices but seemingly they also have planned to support Windows Phones overall even from other manufacturers including Samsung, LG, HTC and Dell.
It’s been quite a few months now that Nokia re-branding has been started. Ovi Maps turned Nokia Maps and then Ovi Store changed to Nokia Store with other changes. Now it’s the turn of Ovi Suite to be lost and Nokia Suite to take its place.
