Talk:Nokia phone series

Untitled

I think this page should be deleted. Its outdated, and all of the information is available in:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nokia_phones — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.249.41.34 (talk) 11:14, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

This is a talk page for Nokia phone series. Come on, let's talk!

WARNING

This page is written like an advertisemt.

There is no reason for you to threaten the article. The contributors are trying their best to cleanup the whole page and decide which ones to remove, to edit or to keep. We just need time to do the things gradually and it should work out. Don't be afraid, there's going to be a solution. Just wait! FinnsDeal (talk) 00:02, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

Much of the page is still written with promotional jargon not fitting WP:FORMAL:

Nokia E7 boasts Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support alongside a luscious 4-inch touchscreen display, which uses Nokia's ClearBlack technology for improved outdoor visibility. The Nokia E7 also comes with a slide out four-row QWERTY keyboard making it the ideal mobile business device. Despite the addition of a full keyboard, the E7 is only a smidge deeper than the Nokia N8 at 13.6mm thin. The device also boasts an 8-megapixel snapper

If someone would see fit to unprotect the article, the numerous contributors on this Talk page willing to bring such flowery back in line can get to it. Those users in 2011 telling us to just wait have had enough time. 124.169.108.3 (talk) 10:54, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Nokia

I think this page should be a pointer to

• Nokia Cseries, [[Nokia Eseries], Nokia Nseries, Nokia Xseries 17:03, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

The list has become better than I expected. Thanks. But let us stick to alphabetic order.

• Nokia Cseries,
• Nokia Eseries,
• Nokia Nseries,
• Nokia Tseries,
• Nokia Xseries

Also, I think that the table from the former Eseries should be copied to this article. And I suspect that more good formatting/info from the old articles can be copied. Sorry, for the advice without help/work, but I am busy now. Andries (talk) 11:10, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't think we should put the series in alphabetic order. I want to make it chronological as possible, according to when the series was unveiled. And this page is a "list," not a table, so having the table is a little inappropriate. I have made everything to make this page as informative as possible and spent time to research (especially for limited information on country-specific releases), and I don't want to exchange the list to a table with little information. But thanks for the suggestion anyway. User:Beyoncé Superfanatic 13:11, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

The average reader does not know the historical order, but quickly wants to find the right series, so it makes more sense to have the order alphabetic. Andries (talk) 10:32, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

I think someone should get a picture for the Nokia T7. I don't know how to get licenses for the pictures needed, but I know where to find the official press shots and it's here. FinnsDeal (talk) 03:04, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

I encourage everyone to get a licensed Nokia N9 picture! This would definitely help the progress of this article. FinnsDeal (talk) 16:35, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

Closure

I think there's no more reason for us to update this. I know, I was crazy about the whole series since the day they launched the Nokia Nseries, so I made this very article by my past username (which is currently on block). Catch it here: Beyoncé Superfanatic. But then, I recently heard that Nokia itself is going to change their nomenclature once again, to focus on three-number naming convention and you can find the source right here. Isn't it disappointing to see that all our contributions will be left nothing when they start ditching this naming convention? It's hard to imagine that they're confusing customers once again with their odd, and old naming scheme. It just won't "sink" into me anymore. No more Nokia for me after they release the first wave of devices under this new naming. FinnsDeal (talk) 04:09, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Marketing speak

Much of the text in this article is non encyclopedic. I would suggest that [[2][these earlier changes]] be re-instated as a start, and somebody with more time fix the rest of the article. In addition to removing non-helpful marketing-brochure text, it corrected inaccuracies and typographical errors ("a NFC" to "an NFC"). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cnj (talk • contribs) 19:32, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

I have enough time to edit, I just need to check which ones to improve. Let's see progress in a matter of days. Thanks for your suggestion! FinnsDeal (talk) 10:59, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

I've cleaned up some of the more blatant advertising. There is still work to do, so I also tagged the page for cleanup. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 03:09, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. I also think that we need to add some photos. One example is Nokia X7's, which was deleted recently for some reason. FinnsDeal (talk) 07:06, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I have semi-protected the page due to the ongoing spam problem. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 20:20, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I have seen several issues with the Nokia N9 section, but I did my best to edit it, without making it look like an ad. FinnsDeal (talk) 23:30, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks! It looks mostly okay now, although I haven't fact-checked it. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 04:13, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

I provided links for you to check! Hehe. Have a nice day. FinnsDeal (talk) 11:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I wasn't planning to check it, just noting that the style looks mostly okay now. I would leave the advert tag in place, however, until you've checked the rest of the article. A number of descriptions in section 4 (Cseries) are not acceptable. The tag isn't meant as a disclaimer, but as a request for other editors to help improve the article. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 18:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I've re-tagged it in the meantime. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 13:49, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm doing my best to create everything I need to improve this article. I'm actually creating a draft on my computer, which includes lines I have to fix. But I need more time to do it. You know, school eats my spare time now. I'm okay with the re-tagging. Let's see how we can work this out, to improve this whole thing! FinnsDeal (talk) 10:57, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Is there going to be a new photo of this one? We kind of need it bad. FinnsDeal (talk) 07:08, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I don't think the T7 is China-exclusive.

According to 3 GSMArena articles, the T7 may not be a China exclusive, but will also be released worldwide (except Nokia's key markets) as a cheaper variarion of the N8.

These are the three news articles I'm talking about: Nokia T7-00 leaks, to come in HDSPA and TD-SCDMA flavors, Photos of Symbian^3-running Nokia T7-00 leak, some specs too (confirmed as rumor at first) and Nokia T7-00 passes FCC tests, what was it doing there? (seems like confirmation for a semi worldwide release).

And NOTICE to wikipedia administrators and bureaucrats: I don't quote those three webpages as RELIABLE SOURCES, so don't give me warnings about them being reliable or not.

Also the FCC don't test China-only handsets, a communication commission in China can do that, so I won't think the T7 may be released in China only despite the only reliable source is Nokia China's product page. Kyrios320 (talk) 05:24, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply, buddy. The Nokia T7 is now exclusive to China. Initially, Nokia planned to release it to all their key markets, but the plan fell down as talks about the new Windows Phones heat up. Aside from that, the series may stand for the TD-SCDMA networks, used by most Chinese telecommunications company. FinnsDeal (talk) 11:00, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Under construction

To further improve this article, please do not interfere with me as I am going to delete the whole post, until I am able to finish the whole article without any "marketing speak" or whatsoever. FinnsDeal (talk) 15:01, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, this is taking you too long. I will revert, because the info on e.g. the C series is completely missing. This is worse than some marketing speak. Andries (talk) 12:19, 4 August 2012 (UTC)

N950

N950 points here now but there is no text about it. N950 short description paragraph was on Wikipedia before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jankratochvil (talk • contribs) 17:32, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Incomplete

I dont know who wrote this article, but other series (in my case the C series) also redirect to this article. Maybe a stub must be created for other series so no false links will arise. Furthermore, I actually owned a N73 and the information is incorrect. It says the camera is able to take crisp photo's even when dark. This is not the case and the article it refers to does not say so either. I suspect other irregularities for the other models. 82.139.114.136 (talk) 12:23, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

both fixed, however the article still has a lot of brochure (marketing speak) language. Any help in removing or toning it down would be appreciated. Andries (talk) 11:12, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 11 August 2012

Please change the processor speed of the Nokia Lumia devices (710 and 800) from 1.4 KHz to 1.4 GHz Udhaiya.Prasanth (talk) 07:52, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

done, thanks for noticing this mistake. Andries (talk) 08:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 24 August 2012

Nokia C1-01 does not have a real e-mail client. I suggest change to: "Nokia C1-01 is a cheap and simple clamshell phone. Special features include Bluetooth and an Opera Mini v4 web browser. Contrary to marketing material, it does not have a real e-mail client ." MSelig (talk) 12:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

It does have a web browser however, so it theoretically does give you access to your emails. Certainly not with a dedicated email client, but the article does not specify that it does have one:

“ Nokia C1-01 enables you to stay in touch with friends, family and the world around you with fast access to your e-mail, instant messaging services, the Internet and Nokia's Ovi Life Tools. ”

Not done for now: feel free to make the request again if you can propose a better way to word it. — Deon^talk 06:48, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

How about: "Nokia C1-01 is a cheap and simple clamshell phone. Special features include Bluetooth and an Opera Mini v4 web browser. Contrary to marketing material, it does not have a real e-mail client, but only offers e-mail access via a web browser ."

MSelig (talk) 07:54, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

Please excuse me, but what is "c101nomail"? That was the reference name in the sentence you wrote. A boat that can float! (watch me float!) 13:57, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Per Floating Boat's comment, I've checked the article and I can't find a ref tag which uses that name. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 08:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

This article reads as advertising

I have been fan of Nokia until they sold their soul to Micro$oft.They have some good products,there is no doubt about it. But this article reads like blatant advertising with peacock words.

Nokia C1-03

The Nokia C1-03 was released in Europe. It is identical to the C1-01 but with 32mb memory and no EDGE support. This article says it was just for China, and this is not true. 84.65.2.107 (talk) 15:28, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
