Nokia und RIM sind sauer und wollen mit Apples "Antennagate" nichts zu tun haben




In Apples Pressekonferenz wurde auch die Konkurrenz gerupft (siehe 7:12PM): "Antennagate - es klingt wirklich nicht gut wenn ein Telefon Empfang verliert wenn man es anfasst. Wir haben zunächst mal herausgefunden, dass dies bei allen Telefonen so ist, egal ob Nokia, Motorola, etc. Und wir haben unsere eigenen Test gemacht". Oder: "Beim Blackberry Bold 9700. Hält man es normal, gehen die Empfangsbalken auch runter." Die Freude bei Nokia und RIM ist groß, die Reaktionen kommen entsprechend schnell und heftig. Nokia lässt uns wissen, dass ihnen eine funktionierende Antenne letztlich wichtiger sei als das Design, und die Männer von RIM wüten gegen "Apples Versuch, RIM in Apples selbstgemachtes Debakel reinzuziehen". Verständlich, da Apple in der Pressekonferenz das Bold 9700 benutzt hat um zu zeigen, dass der Signalverlust auch andere Phones und Hersteller betrifft. Die beiden Statements findet ihr nach dem Break.

Nokia:

"Antenna design is a complex subject and has been a core competence at Nokia for decades, across hundreds of phone models. Nokia was the pioneer in internal antennas; the Nokia 8810, launched in 1998, was the first commercial phone with this feature.

Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying human behavior, including how people hold their phones for calls, music playing, web browsing and so on. As you would expect from a company focused on connecting people, we prioritize antenna performance over physical design if they are ever in conflict.

In general, antenna performance of a mobile device/phone may be affected with a tight grip, depending on how the device is held. That's why Nokia designs our phones to ensure acceptable performance in all real life cases, for example when the phone is held in either hand. Nokia has invested thousands of man hours in studying how people hold their phones and allows for this in designs, for example by having antennas both at the top and bottom of the phone and by careful selection of materials and their use in the mechanical design."

RIM:

"Apple's attempt to draw RIM into Apple's self-made debacle is unacceptable. Apple's claims about RIM products appear to be deliberate attempts to distort the public's understanding of an antenna design issue and to deflect attention from Apple's difficult situation. RIM is a global leader in antenna design and has been successfully designing industry-leading wireless data products with efficient and effective radio performance for over 20 years. During that time, RIM has avoided designs like the one Apple used in the iPhone 4 and instead has used innovative designs which reduce the risk for dropped calls, especially in areas of lower coverage. One thing is for certain, RIM's customers don't need to use a case for their BlackBerry smartphone to maintain proper connectivity. Apple clearly made certain design decisions and it should take responsibility for these decisions rather than trying to draw RIM and others into a situation that relates specifically to Apple."
