if people knew in that time about smartphones and they reed the info about a smartphone the nokia had been still strong but not the same but stronger then now and android phones would take the lead cuz they have the best phones and when did android start making smartphones it was in 2009 and they have reached so much in 2 years but only idiots waste money on iphones (my opinion) ... I never wish to have a iphone and will never wish to have one cuz its only waste of money.. And guys can u please stop saying u use iphone and its the best phone but u haven't used a samsung galaxy s2 or a htc sensation or evo 3d when u try them and compare and u will see that the iphone sux ..

[deleted post]That purple thingy on the N8 screen has already been rectified on the Symbian Anna update. And according to Eldar Murtazin's audio comparison of Nokia N8, Apple iPhone 4 and Samsung Wave, the N8 has the best audio quality.

People used to think that Symbian is the company's disgrace but the truth is ditching Symbian is the biggest mistake Nokia has ever made. Symbian defined Nokia and put the company in the pedestal for ages but now that they killed it, they are now suffering the backlash of this wrong decision. Nokia want to appeal to the US market thus the reason for adopting Windows Phone but never realizing that they are alienating their millions of loyal customers worldwide.

nokia is overtake by apple especially, but most especially by apple's buid quality. only n8's 12 mp camera unit is better than apple, but in rest nokia is a failure. but beside all this problems, the biggest problem is that iphone took the place of 8-series in the pockets of rich people and the place of all n&e series in the pockets of tech freaks, and the shamest problem is apple is selling only one mobile and very expansive. nokia is now a real failure. entire range of nokia mobiles, with series 1 with mobiles at 20 euros up to n-series with mobiles up to 350 euros can't compete apple's with only one mobile on market at 500 euros.

there is problem with apple fanboys (I don't hate apple and don't hate apple fans) but I hate apple fanboys. before apple became that popular ther was no much hate between any two manufacturer's fans. untill apple fanboys arose. whenever apple come up with something, these fanboys think that apple brought new feature from another world or another era, they talk about it like magic or something didn't happened before and won't happen without the existance of apple. everyday google, windows and apple and many others invent new things. pinch zooming was invented by apple, but if apple didn't inveted it, windows or google would have invented it in no time, so the matter is who inveted it earlier. apple invented pinch zooming, but what else?. each company copy from the other, but if you looked for who copies the most, apple will be no.1 without doubt, they surly invent, but they copy more. we can see that from the iOs5, tell me how many things were original in that and how many copied?. I am sure over 90% was copied from others like android, RIM ...etc. the iPhone4 design wasn't purly apple, it was copied from SE M600 and LG Prada, then they made it prettier. the ipad1 wasn't the first pad around the world, several companies had tablets before the ipad 1, but not many people knew about them, apple just redesigned it and advertised it. I respect apple for inventing several things but that doesn't mean that they are the best ever. ofcourse not, they are good at something and others are good at something else. to sum up, apple fanboys, accept the fact that apple is just a company like any other company, probably they are succeded more these days, but every company has its golden days and probably won't last long, espicially because of android which has several features over apple including:
1- so many handsets so you can choose whatever design you like depending on your budget
2- the openness of android
3- you will have more free games and app with android
4- the integration of the many services that google provides such as gmail, google+, reader, search, maps and many others
5- the manufacturers of android handsets are producing several programs which helps android advancing faster such as panorama pictures from SE
6- cheaper, even the best and the most recent android phone currently SGS II is cheaper than the one year old iphone4 with old features
7- cheaper accessories for any android device compared to iphone accessories
8- and the list goes on ...

Anonymous, 22 Jul 2011Apple iPhone - love it or hate it. Figures showed that this... moreOfcourse Apple products are wonderful but the another reason for Apple success story is STATUS. People consider Apple as Status symbol.
In terms of hardware and build quality, no one can beat Nokia...they have wonderful hardware.
Nokia failure is Apple's success.

Anonymous, 22 Jul 2011The vast majority claimed they could never replicate the pr... moreI agree. I have the iphone4 & have never dropped a call or lost signal completely because of the way I hold it. In fact my HTC legend which I had previously was much, much worse with the antenna in that plastic bit at the bottom. I've found that the vast majority of people mentioning the calls issue are people who have never owned an iphone and have an irrational hatred of something they don't own, want or need. And nothing the iphone has done has adversly affected them (quite the opposite. Without the iphone we wouldn't have the samsung Galaxy S2, HTC sensation etc. We'd be still in the days of WM6.1)
& as for iphones being dumb phones - they're no more dumb than most smartphones out there. There's lots you can do with an iphone if you know how & if you jailbreak it they become very powerful.
Outside of the old WM6.1, 6.5 etc where you could actually rewrite the sysem files with mySQL etc & reload them back onto the system, then an iphone is the same as an unrooted HTC, Samsung (or any Android phone) Only it's easier to jailbreak than to root.
& I'd also argue that apps are not useless - in what way is a satnav app useles. Or office editing apps, or finance management apps, or apps combined with hardware such as card readers, which enable small businesses to accept credit/debit card payments without spending thousands on a dedicated system?
