Nokia to outsource Symbian to Accenture along with 3000 employees , to reduce workforce by 4000

nokia accenture

Nokia is outsourcing Symbian activities to Accenture and about 3000 employees are going to be transitioned. This is not surprising as Nokia is concentrating only on Windows Phone 7 as it’s primary smartphone platform right now. Symbian would continue to be breathing life at Accenture as Nokia employees who were working on the platform will continue to do so under the new employer. All is not good news though , Nokia plans to cut its global workforce by around 4000 employees by 2012 end in Denmark , UK  and Finland. It would be really interesting to see the result of the Nokia-Microsoft alliance as the Finnish handset maker seems to be betting big on the same.

Nokia Deep Dive: Nokia E6 hands on pictures!

I have been invited to a nice little event here from Nokia Austria, dubbed “Nokia Deep Dive”. The whole event was made to show a handful of bloggers and developers here in Austria, the newly introduced Symbian Anna and the 2 new devices that will come with it out of the box, the Nokia E6 and X7.

Starting off with the Nokia E6, i can not tell you how much i like this device. Being a long time E71/E72 fan, i always had a weak spot and was always hoping for a worthy replacement. And while some of you might disagree because of the camera, I’m fine with what i get. I’m not a fan of Nokia’s recent idea of full focus cameras either, but usability still is No.1 for me. My hopes were high for a successor, that gets rid of the dusty old Symbian S60 3rd edition, and Nokia delivered. They even went on and replaced the old QVGA screens with a shiny new capacitive, multitouch touchscreen with a brand new VGA resolution. This results in a 326ppi, in other words, the screen is extremely sharp.

More on the Device and Symbian Anna in an upcoming post, meanwhile enjoy the pictures I took at the event, showing you all the sweet spots of the Nokia E6! As usual, all those pictures can be found in full resolution over at flickr, in my Nokia E6 picture set!

Say Hello to the Nokia E6!
