Nokia issues a threat to Samsung: Have a break, tear a Galaxy in half

I didn't think this was news section-worthy so I posted it here. Apparently Nokia is feeliong really confident after Microsoft's acquisition earlier this week so they took to twitter to issue a KitKat themed "death threat" (as a reference to Android 4.4) involving the image of a Galaxy SIII broken in half.

This is not the first time Nokia has threatened or made fun of Samsung, they definitely don't mind going head to head with Samsung even though they're not even close to being able to keep up where it matters. Just a few days ago Nokia UK parked a truck nearby a Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom billboard to hijack the marketing with a Lumia 1020 ad.

TBH I find these kinda funny even if a bit childish, but I doubt they're making a real difference in the sales of Nokia handsets, they still sold only about 1/10 of what Samsung sold in the last quarter.

To be honest, it wouldn't be extremely difficult to do that to a GS III.

All this normal marketing is not what inspires me to buy an item, but this sure would.

They've got very few customers so they are resorting to the tactics of a five year old. But then again, who wouldn't and of course, its funny :D

Sorry Nokia this isn't 1996 anymore, you're not relevant.
