"Yahoo! Smart Phones, Smart Fun!" ... Marissa Mayer (37), a former early Google employee (#20) and the new CEO of Yahoo! Inc. ... ... will have her company provide new smartphones to all 17,000 full and part-time employees employees globally. While BlackBerry is shunned Yahoo! is not limiting employees choice to a sngle model from a single manufactuter or even a single OS This is the memo that just went out to Yahoo! employees ... We have a very exciting update to share with you today - we are announcing Yahoo! Smart Phones, Smart Fun! As of today, Yahoo is moving off of blackberries as our corporate phones and on to smartphones in 22 countries. A few weeks ago, we said that we would look into smartphone penetration rates globally and take those rates into account when deciding on corporate phones. Ideally, we'd like our employees to have devices similar to our users, so we can think and work as the majority of our users do. Moving forward, we'll offer you a choice of devices as well as provide monthly plans for the data and phone. The smartphone choices that we are including in the program are: • Apple iPhone 5 • Android: -- Samsung Galaxy S3 -- HTC One X -- - HTC EVO 4G LTE • Windows Phone 8: -- Nokia Lumia 920 We're getting started right away and taking orders starting now. Reportedly the Nokia Lumia 920 for employees will bundle a wireless charging plate. Yahoo! headquarters is located very close to Nokia's U.S. headquarters in Sunnyvale, California and Yahoo! Maps are powered by Nokia. - Eric -
