Nokia now fighting back.
Nokia had been leading the cell-phone industry for many years before Iphone came out. With good quality, innovative, affordable price, Nokia has always been the first choice for consumers. Also Nokia confidently told every that every four second, a Nokia cell-phone is sold in their commercial.
I had been using Nokia phone for many years, honestly, very good quality. One example is that, I dropped it for many times, but it still worked well. At that time, Symbiam operating system was treated as the smart phone system. People can download applications from third party, even though the quantity and quality was limited. Anyway, people love Nokia.
This amazing fairytale was broken since Iphone came out. Apparently, Iphone is critical. However, no matter how you don’t like it, how many issues it has, people all over the world are crazy about it, it seems nothing can stop it. Seems people are focusing on the Iphone, or we can say Iphone is so good that people somehow ignore new cell-phone from Nokia. Nokia could be suffering during these years. Last week, I grabbed a Nokia N8 for using, compared to the Nokia old models , this N8 made a large progress. Sadly,the sale was cold.
Well, Nokia has to do something, otherwise, it may have to make shoes again.
Beginning 2011, Nokia will use Microsoft’s Windows Phone for its main smartphone operating system. The reason for this is that the smartphone battle is now a war of ecosystems rather than just devices. An ecosystem consists of devices, services, third-party providers, a strong app market and delighted customers. Microsoft, Nokia and its other partners will form a strong ecosystem to bring innovation and choice into the market. MeeGo now becomes a platform for future disruption of the market through innovative and different devices. Symbian will continue to be supported and developed as the full product portfolio takes shape.
Let’s wait for some changes.
