Comments on: No VoIP In New Nokia N-Series Phones? Is Nokia Turning Its Back on MobileVoIP? http://gigaom.com/2008/08/23/no-voip-in-new-nokia-n-series-devices-is-nokia-turning-its-back-on-voip/ Sat, 11 Feb 2012 03:10:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Mobile Voip :: Ready for Release | Dial-a-Phone http://gigaom.com/2008/08/23/no-voip-in-new-nokia-n-series-devices-is-nokia-turning-its-back-on-voip/#comment-144723 Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:37:14 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=18473#comment-144723 [...] There was some news recently that actually made it seem as though Mobile VoIP was going to be experiencing a setback but which has turned out to prove only that people are highly interested in continuing to make mobile VoIP a more widespread reality. The news came from Nokia which announced that the new phones being released in its popular N Series line will no longer include mobile VoIP capabilities. [...]

The guy on the phone admitted, that they removed the client due to pressure from the network carriers, but they obviously didn’t want to make an official statment about this. However, he said that Nokia is listening to their customers – which is a good thing. So I can only urge you guys to sign this petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/s60v5sip/petition.html

Another inquiry at Nokia USA yielded, that Nokia is in fact “planning” to release the SIP client on the N97 in H2/2009. Don’t know why I got 2 crontradicting responses. Either way I think it would be great if we could get as many signatures as possible. Please share the link!

If memory serves me, Nokia hasn’t shipped a new phone with a SIP stack and SIP client in more than a year. Just when everyone else is starting to think about convergence, wouldn’t you know Nokia would be headed in the opposite direction. Too bad.

It’s called product differentiation, not a new company policy.

Great observation. You’ve pointed out that newer, lower cost VOIP companies still share resemblences to companies in any competitive market. Chris Anderson’s Wired Article on the road to “free” shows that cheaper, emerging markets still compete for platform and profits, but also for information/data/statistics as externalities.
