Nokia To Attend CES 2013 In A Small Scale

Nokia To Attend CES 2013 In A Small Scale It was earlier this morning that we reported on how Nokia decided to give the CES 2013 boat a miss, and decide to settle for an appearance at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, next February instead. Well, I guess there were some discrepancies earlier, and Nokia is not giving Las Vegas a miss, but rather, will attend it without much fanfare. Doug Dawson of Nokia stated on Twitter that “While we [Nokia] have scaled back our show floor presence this year, Nokia will be visible at CES in other ways”.

Well, does this mean that Nokia will not be setting a show booth, with babes and all? Perhaps, and it does make one wonder just what kind of presence they will make, and will the lack of a booth make it more or less pointless for them to attend CES? Maybe the folks over at Nokia have some kind of brilliant guerrilla marketing plan that they are not telling anyone yet, so we await with bated breath.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish communications company that was the largest phone vendor (per unit) between 1988 to 2012. The company's history go back to 1871 but the Nokia that we know today (the Nokia corporation) was founded in 1967 by the merger of three Finnish companies. It is then that Nokia worked on networking equipment and was ultimately involved in the launch of the first cellular network in 1981 (Mobira Oy). Nokia because a key developer of GSM, the standard that we all know today. Although Nokia still produces a range of phones that includes entry-level handsets and Symbian smartphones, the company is counting on the Windows Phone OS to regain the share that it once had. The current flagship Windows Phone device from Nokia is the Lumia 920.
