if they keep up in the current idiotic way they will lose another 20 to 30% of their sales. Seriously, they are out dated :/

Your own fault that you bought a dud. n97 was even worse then 5800 at twice the price. It damaged Nokia's reputation big time... I bought N8 for $380 on amazon in may and am pretty happy with the phone, camera, music and maps!!!

        Symbian phones sold well during the Q2! One of the reasons is that 150-200$ android phones suck. They can't compete with C6-01!!! Also E5 and C5 are great!!!

In west africa, bb is the only other manufacturer that even sees nokias tail lights and thats because of their arrangement with operators for bb messenger. Same goes for indonesia or so i hear. The world is bigger than the USand UK. Nokia sells more smartphones in west africa than they do in the whole europe.

                      its just a race to release new midrange devices. The n9 wont have any real impact as it would cost well above nokias average selling price.

                          I'm an Apple hater, but if I had to choose between WP7 and iOS, in a blink of an eye, I'll go for iOS. Jailbreaking is the number 1 selling point of the iPhones. Why should I choose a more restricted OS like WP7? Just because there's a Nokia logo on it ? Please tell me a single useful feature that WP7 got and iOS don't ...

                            AnonD-616, 21 Jul 2011you know dear friend there is too many reason to buy nokia'... moreOut of all the reasons you just presented i see only one good one wich is the dual core.Maps=useless,own game store=might be good but will be completely outclassed by the Android and IOS games,offline life time=might be good no idea what that even is.
                            Bottom line is Nokia will never be the giant it used to be,will never be back on top and its sales will never be what they used to be
