Personally I am a huge fan of Nokia. Their phones are intellegent, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sapiensbryan.com\/nokias-product-durability-test\/\">durable<\/a> and reliable. However since the introduction of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/iphone\/\">iPhone<\/a>, their traditional keypad cellphones waned and began to decline. They did not have a good <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Business_technology_management\">business technology management<\/a> and lacked behind their competitors in the touchscreen market. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/2011\/09\/30\/us-kodak-idUSTRE78T4DC20110930\">Just like Kodak<\/a>, they did not catch on to the rest of the industry. <\/p>\n<p>Right now Nokia is thinking of cooperating with Microsoft and their Windows Mobile operating system, which is a good idea for them. This way Nokia only needs to focus on the hardware side (which they are good at), and leave the systems to Microsoft (who is always &#8220;trendy&#8221; in technology). The electronics industry is a fast and ferocious battlefield, Nokia and Kodak are victims of bad business technology management.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once the largest cellphone producer in the entire world, Nokia is ready to cut down 3500 jobs.
