Nokia had secured carrier billing relationships newest blackberry z10
over 100 carriers worldwide for Ovi (no other rival app store had even one quarter that level - carrier billing means one-click payments that get charged directly off your phone bill or prepaid account. No credit cards etc needed). With the language support, the ecosystems nationally around the carriers and Nokia grew meaningful in many cases. Now last year in February that all was suddenly sunk, newest blackberry z10
the Elop Effect.

I am not suggesting the carriers operators loved Nokia - Nokia was too big and powerful to be loved.

But Nokia was seen as a mostly gentle giant, and one that mostly did not do harm to the ecosystem.

Startup newest blackberry z10

And over time Nokia management earned a reputation that you could count on Nokias word. That all died newest blackberry z10
the Elop Effect.

From February 2011, the global carrier community revolted against Nokia and Elop. Nokia was placed on a sales boycott.

This has been reported only in anecdotal evidence and mostly in countries of the Industrialized World, but Nokia itself admitted in the Quarterly results that its carriers and distribution channel had reduced inventory suddenly and to an unanticipatedly large degree. Evidence?

I cant prove prove it to you, but it is very widely accepted by experts in the industry, that Nokias resale channel froze in February and Nokia products were removed from displays etc. This phenomenon continues and reports trickle in from many countries that Nokia smartphones are conspicuous in their absense from store shelves and inventories. Obviously the global utter collapse of Nokia smartphone sales is partially a symptom of this problem (and other problems).

REASON 13 - HOSTILE CARRIER RELATIONS WITH MICROSOFT Nokia was known to be friendly to carriers if bureaucratic and uncompromising.

If that feeling turned to hostility, there is good chance it can be reversed. But Microsoft was known as the Evil Empire long before they announced the partnership newest blackberry z10
Nokia.

Opinions and reviews newest blackberry z10

Forget abnewest blackberry z10 Microsofts bullying of its developers and partners and rivals, and the prolonged feuds newest blackberry z10
the regulators on both sides of the Atlantic.

Just in wireless, Microsoft is the mobile death wish. Their very first strategic partner and launch customer for Microsofts first smartphones, UK based Sendo was driven to bankruptcy after lengthy court cases newest blackberry z10
the Evil Empire.

Motorola went from profitable to loss-making in its strategic partnership newest blackberry z10
Microsoft smartphones. Motorola was so disgusted it announced it would discontinue smartphones on Microsoft platforms which gained it a lawsuit to boot. LGs strategic partership newest blackberry z10
Microsoft bled the company profits into losses and LG ran to Android.

HTC, Microsofts longest-serving smartphone partner was so upset newest blackberry z10
Microsoft, it refused to support the final version of Windows Mobile and now strongly prioritizes Android.

If you dont know the history of how devastating Microsoft has been to its strategic partners in mobile, like the vampire, its bled them dry. Read Horace Dedius review of In Memoriam: Microsofts previous strategic partners. Microsoft is like the cheap prostitute. Not only has Microsoft been sleeping newest blackberry z10
everybody, but Microsoft newest blackberry z10 awards its strategic partners newest blackberry z10
a sexually transmitted incurable disease as a parting gift. While mass market consumers are usually blissfully ignorant of the backstabbing in the corporate world of partnerships, the carriers operators are not. They pay very close attention to every player in the market.

The carriers operators know they need the handsets, and smarpthones need operating systems to run. They are very aware who is who and who plays naughty and who plays nice. No wonder that do no evil Google is getting global support everywhere.

I do not have to go into the specifics of what all Microsoft has been doing in the past to anger the carrier community, as it is widely acknowledged that Microsofts carrier relations were strained or challenged.

Even Microsoft executives acknowledge this as a fact. Then came Skype. I have written another long blog explaining why Skype is the ultimate red flag to carriers operators. You can believe me, or not. That doesnt matter, we now have an ex Microsoft executive, no: ex Windows Phone General Manager at Microsoft, Charlie Kindel, who acknowledges that Microsoft had further angered the carriers in 2011. This is how he phrased it Windows Phone raised its middle finger at the carriers and to make matters worse, even after that, currently Windows Phone requires Microsoft to push hard on the carriers And the carriers do not like this at all. Kindel said carriers are reluctant.

He said because carriers have explicitly decided to support Android rather than Windows Phone - that is why Windows Phone has not sold as well. Whatever you thought of Microsoft success or failure in the past in mobile, the ex General Manager of Windows Phone tells us that Microsoft had indeed had a bad relationship newest blackberry z10
carriers, Microsofts attitude to carriers had already been one of arrogance and abuse; and that carriers hated it; and that since newest blackberry z10 Microsoft had been making matters worse - and the resulting penalty from carriers was to push sales away form Microsoft to Android. I say boycott, you say tomato. Regardless, it is patently obvious that Microsoft relationships newest blackberry z10
carriers were bad before and are getting worse newest blackberry z10
Windows Phone.

This now is again worsened as we hear for example from Europe that Nokia was bullying carriers abnewest blackberry z10 commitments to sell Lumia in Q4 etc. Whereas in the Emerging World, for smartphone purchases, consumers will look at the operator carrier as the third most important issue - where Nokias reputation has suffered newest blackberry z10
Elop and Lumia; and its partnering newest blackberry z10
Microsoft has only made matters worse.

This means Lumia is worse off than Nokia was before the Elop Effect. Worse off. Lumia is in trouble. AMPLIFYING REASON 3 - LOOK AND FEEL Remember in the Emerging World Nokia is the gold standard for consumers of mobile phones.

They worship Nokias. Even the superphones are featured in the stores even as few customers ever can afford them. Proud owners walk newest blackberry z10
four year old models if they were top models way back when and so forth. In countries where the average person has no hope of ever owning a car, the mobile phone is the nearest thing to a true status symbol.

Nokia has far higher assigned esteem than just a phone or gadget.

So the customers know Nokia models and their specs.
