Olivier Lagreou Nokia

MonWindowsPhone has interviewed Olivier Lagréou, Product Marketing Director at Nokia French republic, for some insightful answers into how the company is performing with their newly adopted platform - Windows Telephone. Questions included why the Finnish manufacturer went with Microsoft's OS as opposed to the more established (and dominating) Android. Lagréou goes into explain that Android would take been almost suicidal for Nokia, who needs to push button forward the brand and non be lost at sea in an ocean of OEMs and handsets. Windows Telephone was the perfect lucifer for the DNA of the manufacturer with simplicity amongst other stiff features.

As well as talking about the company and its partnership with Microsoft, Lagréou also provided some details for when we can expect to see the magenta flavor of the Lumia 800.

"We should exist able to provide Lumia 800 in magenta (pink) for Christmas. The color is also expected before long from Orangish, available online only. As for the color cyan (blue), you tin already find at The Phone House."

Skilful news for those who are excited to match the pinkish handset with other valuables and accessories from your wearing apparel code. We might not be stuck with just three colours, though. The Nokia employee went on to explain that should demand and projected sale figures for more than colours exist strong, the company will expect to produce more accents. He mentioned yellow, green, and white equally examples (check the above image for more "potential" colours). Should any new colours be decided on, 2022 will be the year where the Lumia 800 gets a nice refresh.

The large question is, as always, how is the handset selling?

"It is known that the kickoff calendar week sales are promising [...] The large marketing push is also excellent for Windows Phone and allows to make information technology better known. This organization is the cornerstone of Microsoft and the time to come of Nokia. For Nokia, sales and positive discussion of mouth works very well, we can even say that a snowball effect is being created right now."

While no sales figures take been provided, "start week sales are promising" should be considered somewhat truthful with the massive marketing frenzy the manufacturer has embarked on. Let's not forget the French developer who noticed a sudden increase in Lumia 800s using his app. With the big Windows Telephone construct being present in Paris as we speak, accompanied by a number of demo handsets, the brand of Windows Phone is growing along with the recovery of Nokia.

"For mobile the virtually depression-end, information technology volition at least take into account the prerequisites listed in the specifications of Microsoft Windows Phone. The extension of the range will depend on the time of production and sales volumes estimated for a given model. At present, the Lumia 800 is the flagship of Nokia and will remain so for some time."
