Newkia instead of Nokia

Have you ever heard of Newkia? If so, you probably heard it a few days ago, since this word had not been used before. This is a name of a newly formed company that wants to produce phones like Nokia's models that will work on the Android platform. When Microsoft announced that it is taking over Nokia, it was clear that the whole thing will not go so quietly (more on Microsoft taking over Nokia at:http://www.mobileshop.eu/blog/actual/nokia-sold-to-microsoft/). And so it was. Employees of Nokia and followers of the brand raised their voice against the sale of the company. Those who like to work on further development of this symbol for mobile phones decided to join the Newkia company and try what should be done a long time ago.

Newkia - a combination of good hardware and software

Newkia will try what everyone else is doing - to combine good hardware and good software. The basis for the hardware they found in the previous Nokia models, while good software should be Android. According to this group of people it is completely illogical why Nokia chose Windows Phone instead of Android several years ago.

Newkia CEO

The crowd is led by Thomas Zilliacus, former director of Nokia's Asia-Pacific operations. This man, who left the company in 1993, said he is bringing together a group of best professionals for this project. Among them are excellent developers who did not get a chance in Nokia. He added that they do not lack enthusiasm. Okay, but we all know that for the success enthusiasm is often not enough, you need the money.

Newkia plans

Thomas Zilliacus and Newkia are well aware of that and they have recently speeded up activities in fund raising to start production. If they succeed, Newkia phones production will begin within a year. It will be a real sweet cake for lovers of real phones. We keep our fingers crossed and wait to see what will happen.

P.S. Interestingly, the company Newkia was established in Singapore on the same day when Microsoft bought Nokia.

Coincidence?
