The rise, dominance, and epic fall - a brief look at Nokia's history

12 August, 2015
A couple of years ago, Microsoft reached a deal to acquire Nokia's struggling devices and services business, and just recently, the Finnish company sold its HERE mapping unit to a group of German car-makers. It’s true that Nokia has had a terrible last five years, but this doesn’t take away the fact that it was this very company that effectively defined the mobile industry for over a decade prior, and gave us some of the most memorable phones.

                  Um, no. Motorola's brick phone beat it by 2 or 3 years in the market, by almost a decade in the labs. It was not, as Marty Cooper claims, the first cellular phone (Bell Labs had working prototypes in the 60s), but it was the first hand-held.

                      We all loved our NOKIA's but humanity goes forward not back, it was the only GSM device, and it was building an ecosystem around it's SYMBIAN brand.

                      But now it is a totally different ball game, India vs the world as a market, China vs the Brands, I feel sad for NOKIA, and I felt sad with Microsoft trying to jump on the wagon of handset devices with their WINDOWS. And I always wonder why in the gods name they went side ways, left and right, above and below while they had such a successful track.
