nokia – Mission Repair – Specials and Gadget Info

I was sitting at my desk and noticed a CNN notification that stated “Microsoft says it will slash 7,800 positions in the company’s phone hardware business”.

This is particularly close to me because we are in the “phone hardware business repair” market, and I don’t like to see when 7,800 people will be losing their jobs. That’s a lot of jobs which are hard to come by.

Today’s plans were outlined in an email from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella to Microsoft employees:

“We are moving from a strategy to grow a standalone phone business to a strategy to grow and create a vibrant Windows ecosystem including our first-party device family,” Nadella said. “In the near-term, we’ll run a more effective and focused phone portfolio while retaining capability for long-term reinvention in mobility.”

Um, Ok. I guess this means that you’ll be losing your jobs. Well, here at Mission Repair we don’t see many Windows phones but hopefully at some point Microsoft will be able to reignite the Nokia market. Time will tell…

Take care, Ryan

Hello M:R Nation –

Today, Nokia announced the new and incredible Lumia 1020. The marquee feature on the newest device by Nokia is not the stunning screen, but the 41 MEGAPIXEL CAMREA! I freelance an occasional wedding every now and then and understand DSLRs enough to know that MP size isn’t everything. There is only so much a human eye can see and brain can process. So when I hear that there is 41-MP in the new Lumia 1020, I am most impressed by the technology. We are to a point that we can fit all of that within a sensor that is smaller than a square inch. Mind blowing!

Anyway, I’ll use this as an excuse to plug some of the Nokia Lumia services that we already offer, and of course, we WILL be repairing the Nokia 1020 once it comes out on the market. Check out our current line up of Nokia Lumia repairs below :
