Guest iliketoparty Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Hi all, This is a general post to ask if there is anybody out there that knows anyone in the magazine business to try and get a dedicated smartphone magazine up on those shelves!!! :idea: I would love to work as part of a team constantly looking for new developments in the new emerging smartphone industry. Anybody else feel this way about that lump thats in your pocket for so many hours of the day???!!! :wink: I'm sure I'm not the only member here that feels this way...post your comments and suggestions. I don't have any formal qualifications in journalism, just a thirst for knowledge and a good computer background. Cheers...see what happens Party
Guest mcwarre Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 There probably is; however, given the (relatively) small potential readership and the excellent advice on MoDaCo, why would anyone want to pay for info in a magazine which is probably 1 month out of date??? In principal an excellent idea. In practice :?: :?: :?: :?:
Guest iliketoparty Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Ah, all about marketing and advertising of the product! For the average joe public (and my friends and colleagues!) they don't know the first thing about the Smartphone, let alone a mobile phone exists with a Microsoft based OS that you can browse the net on! Think people are missing out by using their crappy Motorolas or Nokias!!! :shock: Party
Guest Emad Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Heh, when was the last time you saw an Orange advert for the Smartphone? Or any advert for it? :lol:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 "Computing Magazine" Dec '02 :lol:
Guest Playdoh Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Actually I saw some pretty cool ads for SPV post launch...you know those ones with a guy who has an armful of stuff and some catch phrase beneath it. I haven't seen anything beyond that though
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 That's the one (and only) i've seen.
Guest casper508 Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 That's the one (and only) i've seen. I haven't seen a single one to date. :shock: :roll: Cas
Guest Simon Desser Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 This picture was used in one, I think it's ace :lol: When I saw it I stuck my head on it, and emailed it to a couple of mates, and one of them thought it was really me, and I'd totally lost the plot :shock:SPV AD.jpg
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 The one i saw was the same kit, but a businessman was struggling with it walking down the street...
Guest Simon Desser Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Yeah! you mean this one :lol:SPV Ad2.jpg
Guest adam Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Where can I buy one of those? - HeHe :lol:
Guest Simon Desser Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Where can I buy one of those? - HeHe :lol: Most phone shops - It's a Sony Ericsson P800 :!: ;)
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Yeah! you mean this one ;) Yeah cheers :lol: And surely its a 7650?
Guest midnight Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Strange thing, they seem to be implying that the spv removes the need for all that equipment, hmmm, where do i load paper into the spv's built in printer then, and do i need to remove the battery to do it. mind you, guess we'll have to wait 6 months for orange to release the drivers :wink:
Guest amo Posted April 8, 2003 Report Posted April 8, 2003 Strangely enough I was asked in a meeting today by someone overly impressed by my spv if i can print from it!
Guest HelloDave Posted April 9, 2003 Report Posted April 9, 2003 The advert also implies that we can play Fur Elise on the built in keyboard, watch movies without squinting and get some reasonable sound quality from the built in speaker. Ah well... We could always sue Orange/M$ for false advertising :wink: I saw an advert for the smarphone in PC Plus around December, but I think it was a businessman at a desk. Can't remember it that well though. Strangely enough I was asked in a meeting today by someone overly impressed by my spv if i can print from it! You can IR text files and JPEGS to a compatible printer! (my HP deskjet works with the SPV anyway)
Guest Ras Posted April 10, 2003 Report Posted April 10, 2003 This one makes me laugh :lol:Portable.jpg
Guest vijay555 Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 re dedicated magazine: although SPV/smartphone generally needs to pick up readership and public awareness, like peeps are saying, have you ever seen a "What Nokia?" magazine? And they're are a gazillion nokia users. "What SPV?" might as well be distributed by the guy in the 2nd add going to each of ours doors and printing one out, for the installed userbase! Don't think it would really be worthwhile given the economics of magazine distribution, but don't be disheartened, prove us wrong! Did anyone hear on CNN that they've been dropping nokia 3650 "bunker busters" on Iraq again.... sa-quish :lol: V
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted April 11, 2003 Report Posted April 11, 2003 3650 bunker busters, ha ha, classic! At Mobius we decided it was Fisher Price's 'My First Mobile' with all that plastic and bulk... P on Mobile MoDaCo
