Nokia Corporation (ADR)(NYSE:NOK )released the Lumia
900 during Easter holidays, when most of the stores are guaranteed to be
closed.
It is to be hoped that the Lumia 920 will have a
better launch and does not go the way of its predecessor - because the company
has a lot rising on the product including revival of its fortunes.
Though Nokia botched up on the launch of the Lumia 920
with misleading videos regarding its camera capabilities, the phone itself is
quite a sound product and various reviews have shown it to be a superior device
to Apple's iPhone 5.
The sensitive screen which can be used with gloves,
its wireless charging support, its Pure View technology, all these make it a
device worth buying.
On the flip side it is far heavier compared to the
iPhone 5, and not as thin.
Also it will have an uphill task in fighting against
the firmly entrenched iPhone and other phones which have already entered the
market. Google has already released a whole range of smartphones along with its
partners Samsung and LG.
Incidentally Microsoft Corporation(NASDAQ:MSFT),
Nokia's new partner for tis operating software, has already started selling its
smartphones made by HTC and Samsung.
Online discount deals provider Groupon Inc(NASDAQ:GRPN)
is offering free shipping and returns for merchandise bought through Groupon Goods
during the holiday season, the company said on Monday.
Groupon Goods sells items at a discount, such as toys
or jewellery The company said free shipping applies to purchases over $15, for
products under 150 pounds.
Shares of Groupon fell 6 cents to close at $2.63.
