hagenuk fono 3 Hagenuk: still alive, but in different market segmentLong-term readers of TamsPalm probably still recall a small German company called Hagenuk: the boys licensed one of GSPDA’s Palm OS smartphones, and tried to sell it in Germany with moderate success.

A CeBit meeting with Hagenuk’s CEO revealed that the company left the smartphone market to pursue other, less crowded markets…and it looks like the boys are quite successful at it.

The image on the left shows the sales brochure of a large Austrian electronics retailer who is currently advertising a Hagenuk device called fono 3. It is targeted at customers who want to have an easy, large and feature-poor handset…and seems to do its job just great!
