Think Nokia sales drop drastically

[Mike1234]

lets face it, symbian is dying.

 

 

Its outdated i should say...

 

They nid some "revival" somehow....

 

Cos last time...

 

NGAGE seemed promising..

 

But in the end, not as successful as apple, bb, android,etc

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

Motorola brought the mobile phone to the market

Ericsson made it available to the masses with the GH388, 688 with accessories

Nokia made it smaller 3210, 8210 and stylish 8850 Titanium

Iphone leads the next round of phones

 

Anyone remember odd old phone models, manufacturer's?

 

Mitsubitshi (my pop had one), Hagenut (the one that looks like a TV remote), Nokia Banana Matrix Phone, Bosch (yes, they actually made phones), Hitachi, Panasonic. Everyone wanted to be in the market.

 

To add on, Nokia removed the antennas and added the predictive text input. If I am not wrong, the battery life is one of the best in its class.

I happened to have 3210, 8210, 8850 as well as the GH688. The 8850 is simply , but the casing alone costs $150.

Perhaps the improvement is due to lesser user now? ..... All their service center used to be very crowded but no longer now...

[Darthrevan]

those Nokia low end models are specifically targeted at emerging markets..namely China and India. the penetration rate are pretty high as those pple cannot afford expensive mobile phones..and they even share among many users.

My frist phone with colour LCD was Nokia

 

My first phone with camera was Nokia

 

My current phone is Iphone 3GS

 

My target for next phone is Iphone 4G

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.

 

That's why i said that nokia is still no.1. Often, we mistake that what we see in our tiny red dot represents the world.

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

 

You are aware that IDA forbids SIM locking or carrier lock? Singapore got one of the most free and open phone markets in the world not even USA can compete lol... So the only thing the telcos can do are exclusive sales for specific products.

 

Actually most of the users of Iphone are the current generation of folks in their 40s and below. The market for normal phones are for the older folks who mostly dont know how to use new technology and dont see the need for it.

 

I personally dont use Iphone for the primary reason of Apple branding who are extremely protective of their products. Even a piece of extension power cable cannot buy 3rd party lor. So lame.
