Nokia new phones emerge

Nokia new phones have surfaced in the Nokia service software document v2007.44.3.30990 Phoenix, 19.12.2007. I found this on the site Nokiaport.de, it was in German so translated it for you. According to this site Nokia will be coming up with Nokia 6300i a 6650 6690 7070 and 7070b. I think 6300i will be higher version of Nokia’s popular slim phone 6300; 6690 will be of 6680; 7070 might be Nokia’s new version of 7710, the touch screen phone of Nokia which failed miserably. The images are not available yet but, the article was written by the administrator of Nokiaport.de, which I think, is a clear indication that this is not some kind of rumor.

Nokia Germany workers to get jobs in Nokia Romania factory

Nokia announced the closure of its German manufacturing facility at Bochum at the starting of the year 2008 and was very positive with respect to its manufacturing plans in Romania. The German council was not so happy about Nokia’s exit from Germany and the reasons the company had cited. The talks between the German Trade Union IG Metall and Nokia also failed. Now AFX News has reported that Nokia has eased up a little bit and is ready to accommodate its German facility workers in the new Romanian manufacturing facility. This has also been confirmed by sources within Nokia. Trade Union IG Metall is not aware of any such agreements but it seems that Nokia representatives will be again having a meeting with the Union guys and German politicians to sort out the details of this shifting. Nokia should understand that it is not easy to get away with comments like “less competitive” for a region like Germany.
