Nokia should sell directly to Americans, skip the operators

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  Isn’t that what they’re already doing with the flagship stores? And the experience centers? Granted, it’s a small effort, but it’s still something?

  It does seem that they are at least testing direct sales more systematically. Hope it is a success and helps drive higher end devices to the market, over time perhaps “educating” consumers that there is something better out there. However, the volumes will still go through the carriers and volumes are important too.
