Think Nokia sales drop drastically

[Yaloryalor]

wodering did nokia conduct market study prior their r&d...

it seems that they failed to capture what consumers' needs....

they may have models, so..????

I think about few years ago. I realized Nokia came out so many new models tat each functions/ features are very similar. Yes, last time ppl will jus buy when they see it's nokia. Haha

during the early 2000s, Nokia and Sony Ericsson took lead in mobile phone's market.

too bad that Apple, HTC and Samsung are too fast.

Nokia need to work harder.

 

nokia is popular is because user friendly phone

easy to sms

and thats about it

in term of software they are really really very bad

they have this dont bother attitude

cause they know other makers sms function at that point of time really s uck

and the birth of nokia coincidently as about the same timing with the rage of sms

 

with that rage, nokia is so popular because of user friendly interface

Nokia is losing out in the SMART PHONE market to BB, Iphone, Android...

they have so many models

that makes us consumers confusing

in the end almost all their phone is the same except for the name and design

 

the worst design is their n-gage

its like holding a brick to your ear when u use it without headset

[Aimnfire]

actually, nokia is doing the right thing in marketing strategy. they are avoiding the over saturated smart phone arena which is dominated by apple, BB and HTC and the other entrants. They are doing what they do best by concentrating on keypad phones which remains a big business which is less crowded. Why fight with so many for a small piece of pie when the big one is their own forte and where they already have a head start ? it is the belittlers who dont see the brilliance of the strategy.

 

yes i agree with you

their lower end phones are for 3rd world country

 

their high end totaly cannot make it

 

no doubt they are the first to introduce fm radio, wifi, banana shape and blue screen for 8250

but whats the point of this if their software and hardware constantly breakdown

[Aimnfire]

Iphone may be gaining popularity but Nokia is still no.1 in terms of worldwide volume.

 

yup for normal phones they are the leader

but for smartphone they are declining fast

Went down to 2 Nokia service centres.

 

One at Parkway and the other at Century Square and found out that both are no longer in operations.

 

Only the one at Vivio and Causeway are open.

 

I wone be surprised that the one at Wheellock is also game over.

 

This move will make all the Nokia users very inconvenient

 

Guys, take a look at this: http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1372013

Nokia is currently still the leader. And they win Apple by A LOT! If Apple wants to overtake Nokia it's a looooong way for them.

As to why the service centres close down, it may not necessary be drop in sales. It may be due to improved quality resulting in less requirements for servicing.

just try that

Yup if we walk out of our doors we see many iphones. But if we walk out of our country, it's a different story. Just try that.

this is before iphone 4 is out

futhermore the lack of iphone sales is because they die die want exclusive rights from telcos

and most americans tend to shun them is because carrier lock

 

look at it this way

IF only singtel got the rights to sell iphones and their set is CARRIER LOCK

users of M1 and starhub might shun iphone and go for other models, as even though they can afford to buy no line

but got carrier lock.....they lan lan

 

before M1 and starhub got the right to sell iphone, those who have expire their contract

just buy any phone

in the end they stuck with their contract when iphone release m1 and starhub the right to sell

do you know that singapore is one of the countries that their electronic goods are much cheaper

iphone without contract cost less than our neighbouring countries where it can be price twice or thrice what singapore is selling

[Vega]

anyone remember "zone phone" during the pager era?

[Babyt]

its the wrong thing.

 

there is no more demand for keypad phones.

 

no one goes around saying " my dream phone is a nokia"

 

u r so wrong...there r still plenty of countries who do not enjoy cheap mobile plans especially data plans like developed countries do.

 

singaporeans r using iphones do not mean there is no demand for keypad phones elsewhere.

 

just like ppl here r using 1TB harddisk doesnt mean 160GB harddisk are not in demand...be surprised countries like India, SE Asias are still buying them haha.

Yah agree. I go China, many PRC r using nokia. Iphone have but rare. I tot iphone is the in thing until i go out of spore den i realise im wrong

[Bystander50]

Iphone looks more like a toy compared to BB which looks more professional.

 

Another thing which I don't like about Iphone is that apple controls what apps you can have unless you jailbreak it. It also gives the impression that you don't own the phone as apple have the capabilities to disable it from their remote servers. That was what they did to the lost Iphone 4 prototype.

 

Privacy is another concern with this phone.

[Kiadaw]

well Nokia is from Finland, so it's a metter of time they'll be finnish...lolz

 

Not funny bro. Not funny at all.
