I hope I caught you in the ‘iPerformer’. Haha. I was actually laughing my heart out when I learned about this. What the heck is this iPerformer? Another one of Mainland China’s iPhone imitation? (No offense to China, but I see a whole line of their iPhone wannabes in the market.)
Sad to say, I was wrong. It’s Nokia’s very own iPhone contender. I know Nokia has been acing the race of cellular phone assembly. They have been known to offer countless handsets ranging from practically cheap and low-end to unreasonably extravagant and high-end. But they certainly aren’t famed for catchy codenames.
Lame codename aside, word says iPerformer brags a widescreen touchscreen, QWERTY keypad, GPS, NaviScroll, WiFi, Bluetooth, FM radio/transmitter, TV out and a WebCam. I personally doubt the WebCam but I’m buying the thought. We do know how Nokia plays in the camera department.
The pricing and availability is still indefinite. Rumors and pictures are particularly thin, so ‘Nokia fans’ will just have to wait. (As I recall, Nokia doesn’t keep people waiting for long.)
With all these rumors of an emerging challenger, I should say Apple should be given the credit for one important thing - raising the bar so that everyone else should try harder. Kudos to Apple for wedging the market open for an innovation.
Sidenote:
As much as I want to lead to a hasty conclusion (I’m just like all the others, waiting for the news), there’s a good chance that this is the iPerformer I’m referring to. Check out these Nokia sites. Nokia N810 and Nokia N810 WiMax.
I’m pretty sure this would sell out to the public, perhaps in the case of Philippines. Filipinos completely patronize Nokia. Sheeesh! It has an advantage compared to Apple though. It’s not tied up to just one network, unlike iPhone. Boohoo!

This might be the rumored so-called “iPerformer”.
Wow!
Sino kaya ang unang makakaapak ng Pinas (legally), iPhone o “iPerformer”?
Mikko’s last blog post..iPhone; on its way to the Philippines
Oh. What a silly name for a phone. I’m probably one of the few people from our generation who doesn’t drool after phones and such. So I was surprised when people started fussing about the iPhone coming to the Philippines. A tita and a tito of mine have iPhones each…but yeah, they got it in the US. Ok, I get it now

Me too. I’m waiting. I’m waiting for the phone to become less expensive. hehe. For sure, it will be expensive on its introduction. Anyway, iPerformer’s features are impressive.

iphone’s initial venture into the mobile phone industry was a success, but I would rather wait for the 2nd generation since the first one was largely criticized for lack of features. Nokia is a respectable company and caters to a wide demographic. I would give them credit for making mobile phones available to a wide range of customers as well as making it as affordable as possible. Cool blog.

This article sounds well, but how everything is related together?
im guilty! guilty of having a china phone. Hahaha. iphone clone. =p but you get the same features (well, most of it..but still good enough) for such a lower price. Hirap na din naman idetermine ngayon which is real and which is fake.. in the end you will all have to measure these gadgets sa efficiency.. right? =D (masyadong defensive…) i think i spent my money well with this iphone clone. enough said. Hahaha =p
