Erm, since Im not attending, I dont really know. But judging from the previous outing for event for N8 and E7, PR company aint really doing much except to relay information between us and Nokia, preparing venue for the event, and perhaps fighting some freebies for us. They dont really participate much in the actual event itself.
Added on May 3, 2011, 8:23 pmPerhaps, you are under-estimating Nokia brand. I wonder has anyone in and around Asia or Europe never used a Nokia before. Apple only began to make name for themselves in the last 2-3years, but I dont think most of them who heard of Apple really know what Apple are. All they know is iPhone, due to the marketing hype created by the queueing which make it to the headline. Nokia problem is not related to marketing or communication, its just simply that they stayed stagnant for too long and everyone overtook them.
They din even prepare venue, and all the rest was only done because of aspire n alex fighting for us
That's the thing, every1 used b4 and every1 had high hopes on it. But wateva reputation they built over the years is slowly decaying
They dun move forward, they dun improve, they rush on things (early announcement but late launching with many probs), they aim too high
And most importantly; they have over the years, been blinded on who is the main foundation for its growth: US! the consumers
It's not that I'm underestimating but rather I've overestimated them
Like u said, they gone stagnant and has been apathetic ever since
For ur basic consumers (majority of the consumers), u dun need to do a background check to purchase it
U just need to know/hear bout it
Not everybody is a maniac like us who really see things up to the finest details
Most consumers would just ask their trusted relative/friends and just purchase on recommendation
Who bothers anyway, there is too many model for that 1 brand and each is different from another
As long the world say it's good then it's good
This does not apply just to phones only
I stand to be corrected
