22 July, 2011
There was a time when Nokia was the king of the smartphone segment thanks to its Symbian platform. In 2007, Apple launched the iPhone and changed the smartphone game altogether. After four years...

        AnonD-1825, 23 Jul 2011Design is not the problem, ugly computer like Ui, stone age... moreThat's the "improved" Anna browser on the X7. You should see how the original browser performs. It was so pathetic that I have to use Opera. I do agree that Nokia is lagging behind in the touchscreen race. The Safari browser on the original iPhone launched in 2007 is a better browser than the stock S^3 browser. It's Q3 2011 now and the "Anna" update isn't even out yet.

        Nokia smartphones are feature packed but the execution of these features sucks.

        Nokia S^3 devices = jack of all trades, master of none.

        I am a Nokia fan and I hate Android but I am not blind to Nokia's faults.

                    shamana, 23 Jul 2011if Nokia could had better design of their smartphones...Design is not the problem, ugly computer like Ui, stone aged cpu and laggy browser are the things why nokia is failing.

                    Even newest X7 doesnt chance this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsJGdlY-3X8&feature=player_detailpage#t=663s pathetic browser, that kind of performance was decent back in 2009.

                    Nokia smartphones doesnt have good first impression, that's the problem.

                      gauthyy, 23 Jul 2011apple ruined its opponents totally!even if apple has the leading phones lets go to the point. nokia has radio apple does not,nokia has a longer battery life apple does not, nokia memory is expandable apple it's not possible,nokia has durability if it falls it may dismantle but fixing it back is not problem apple will be cond.

                                Even if i love samsung but its known for everyone that apple is the best in smartphones nokia is losing because its not giving any new things or better things than the others so the customer can even think about buying it
