Nokia just announced their Q2 financial results - sales volumes decreased and the company posted an operating loss of nearly half a billion euro. On the up side, IP royalty payments went into Nokia's...

I beleive Nokia will continue to fail until they get there product management under control. Examples are simple, X7 no front camera, E7 no micro card N9 future software. Nokia should always have the same ballanced items on each phone to cover all the customers. Video call camera, micro slot, dual chargeing system, usb go, nice headset, petaband. This will appeal to more customers and what one would expect. On the N9 micro sim there is just not a good reason to do this, except..

    Ashura, 21 Jul 2011So tell us in your opinion what OS should Nokia go for?The answer is easy. It's not about someone's taste, it's about trend. Android is increasing its market shared fast. If Nokia want money, they should simply goes for it.

    What's happened to Nokia after using a death OS(Symbian) for so long? It doesn't seem this will change anytime soon. WP7 loose its shared every time I see market shared report, and it already reflected the OS power and situation of the manufacture who use/will use it in their phones.

      [deleted post]Sorry to disappoint u but android already has offline maps. I use it all the time. The features that nokia has that android or ios doesn't are getting more and more miniscule and irrelevant while android/ios features that are not in symbian have not been addressed by nokia. Thats why the market share is down. And I'm one of the converts.

        This is the calm before the storm. The harmattan/wp7/s40-1ghz storm. From now on, even nokia dumb phones will be as powerful and as fast as other manufacturers smart phones.
        N9 is the real deal, and i believe it's just a scout before the real army arrives.

                          Symbian was good until 2004, thats it. after that nokia with symbian s60 s40 was making us fool by releasing 2 handsets every month with the same OS. dominating the market by giving us slow fail retarted symbian phones. i was a loyal nokia customer bought more than 8 nokia phones over the last 10 years and i didnt realize why nokia was making me fool and all of us until i got my IPHONE 4.

                            To the Nokia fanboys who think this Micro$oft "partnership" is the best thing since sliced bread., I have one word for you: SENDO.

                            Google it and be afraid, be very afraid fanboys.

                                All the nutty fan boy comments in the world aren't going to change the simple fact that Nokia is plummeting rapidly. Will Windoze change anything? Not likely, it'll probably make it worse. I hope they fire that Micro$oft Trojan Elop and shift to Android.

                                  I think it would be a huge mistake if their first WP7 phone turns out to be no different from other WP7 phones UI-wise, I mean, that's supposed to be their excuse for not choosing Android.

                                      WP7.5+ is what I want to be using for my next smartphone. Whatever you might say, Nokia 4 Life, Sym^3 is effectively dead. I don't like it, but it's not up to me.
                                      I just hope that Nokia makes a handset that's worth my time. The N9-based W9 looks good - hopefully the price will be right when it comes time to upgrade!

                                        It is 100% the fault of Elop, he destroyed the only source from earnings for this first year.

                                        He could have done something like HTC and Samsung does with their OS, they support them "forever", if something is selling, why do you try to make it stop selling ?¿
