    Some guy from Greece, 29 Jan 2011Why don't you make a calculation for the rest of the competition?Samsung released about 92 models last year. Average would be 0.877 million per unit.

    LG released about 52 models last year. Average would be 1.70 million per unit.

    I guess by now you know my point.

                          yeah lets admit it , today nokia may not have the best and the most featured pack phone but they still ranked number one because people have had respect to the brand since then.
                          the os may be clunky , the apps may be limited but the legacy that nokia had , mate it can never erased.
                          i mean im sure you guys reading this comment can still remember how you felt when you got your first nokia handset right??? up to now when you have your new galaxy , iphone , or bb bold or android, you still remember nokia quite a bit right ???
                          lol , but let's see .
                          it could either be that nokia will fade or nokia will innovate.
                          lets wait
                          ...

                          cheers :D

LG is already falling behind by a wide margin, and the Optimus line-up is it's last chance. The big 3 companies including Samsung have nothing to worry about, but the Android makers in last place will flail until they're gone for good.

                                  Israel ---> Money (investment) ---> Google ---> Android OS

                                  This is a reason why i never gonna to spend money for a Google product.

Back then, Nokia used to brag about the number when they have a hit. They are too embarassed to publish the number of N8 sold. It must be the defect that's affecting its sales. I know 3 people who had defective N8's and dealing with Nokia Care was hell according to them.

                                      Read the link below. 26 pages of complaints and it seems like they're going nowhere.
