Proud Nokia(E63) user here since 2010, still Up and Running, Never replaced the battery(3days-light to moderate use). Still works as if its new. The only problem that i've got is software/app support. i just hope they'll come back soon with a monster(revenge) phone.

Well this article is nice but fails to address where Nokia truly failed.... The user interface starting in 2007.
Symbian was (is) a true multitask OS ahead of anything out in the smartphones market (except Windows CE, latter windows phone) but with the rise of touch interface Nokia instead of investing on R&D to compete with Google and Apple keep insisting (for years and years almost until the MS deal) in releasing shameful, unrefined and unappealing S60 touch versions.... oh and crappy resistive touch screens that almost required a stylus or something for the user to be able to use them correctly.
Plus a online software and content store that was clunky and looked like a beta version of what iTunes already was offering...
They had the OS and the hardware to be relevant but user interface was (and is) a huge factor for the consumer and Nokia learn that the hard way...
Also this article fail to mention N95 flagship (1st Nokia to have a SoC with a GPU) and the previous flagship N93 that was convertible to a full digital camera and the 1st phone camera with a whopping 41 Mpixels and still a top of the line today (the camera not the Pureview phone).

Honest Realist, 17 Aug 2015and you base this on? Assumptions make an ass out of someo... moreAnything open source is bad news? You are the one who looks like an ass. Go back to MSDN and cry about Windows Phone having 1% market share. This site is for 21st century phone users...the 99% of us here are using phones which wouldn't be possible without open source software.

Hi,
A nicely done article, however there is no mention of the Meego software that was short lived under Nokia. it is a shame though cause I believe Meego (currently sailfish under Jola) had what it takes to compete with Apple & Android but thanks to Elop's strategy it was shot down...

I always depended on Nokia and almost all the phones I had were Nokia phones
Here is a list of what I had
Nokia 1800:My first Nokia phone I had until I had lost it
Nokia N70 Music Edition:This was after my Samsung was broken, it was the best I had the only downside was the WAP but this was water damaged
Asha 302 Vodafone: This was my best phone ever in the world, able to load Google with no problems.
Nokia 106:(no information to post, too boring)
Nokia 1661-2 (US):This was my most recent phone, but it was boring. However it did have quirky ringtones

Nokia has been the best ever for me and my family. Started with Nokia 5110 which was the strongest phone ever and now using Nokia Asha. Unfortunately touch screens took over as Microsoft expanded.
We keep looking for the Nokia E71 which is the best phone in the world for us.
