nokiafailure, 22 Nov 2011Adkane your comments are always arrogant i work for a mobil... morefirst is 'ignorant' not 'arrogant'. But what the heck, 'ur more english than i'll ever be'.

-i work for a company, is all computerization

well guess what, president obama is my uncle! No hard evidence, no talk.

Calling my post a 'ignorant' one is a bold move, especially coming from a person who's name is 'nokiafailure'

-this isn't a beeftalk about brands.

I suggest u read ALL of ur previous posts before even using that statement again.

Ok, we will see the REAL result in 3 month. But the way ur acting is like u already know the ACTUAL SALES FIGURES.

    nokiafailure, 22 Nov 2011Adkane your comments are always arrogant i work for a mobil... moreFor one fix your grammar no wonder you work in a retail store as you don't know how to capitalise or even spell. Stop moaning like a girl, Nokia is still the biggest Mobile phone maker out there so I would shut up. I mean seriously did you even go to school with that grammar I am surprised you achieved a U grade. If you are from the UK you have shamed the entire country with that grammar. Typical of America but not here. I will have you know that in the UK Nokia has a very big presence and let me tell you something you know nothing. You people in retail outlets are the thickest people I have ever known. You don't know crap about a phone never mind sell them. Don't forget this is one company which you fail to mention.

      "Adkane your comments are always arrogant i work for a mobile says company and it just shows how old fashioned you are just like your choice of phone.I can easily check all uk stores at the click of a button."

      So do you have numbers or are you just flapping?

        Haha people make me laugh! Stop judging a phone you havn't used!

        I own a Lumia 800. It's fantastic! Yes there are one or two compromises to be made, but thats the same for every phone.

        "The corners are sharp, bad design" - seriously get real. They arent sharp, its very comfortable and ergonomic in the hand.

        "Windows Phone is confusing and hard to use" - are you for real?!? WP is about the easiest thing in the world to use! Some people dont like it for being too plain and light. If you can use an iPhone you can use one no problem!

        "Its expensive" - so expensive I got one at launch for FREE, 18m contract, £25/m, with enough mins/text/data. Soooo expensive! How much is an iPhone again?

        Stop criticising something till you have actually used it. It's an amazing phone. Nokia have done well! And to the haters who have used it - if you really don't like it, accept its healthy competition and stop shooting it down!

            Adkane your comments are always arrogant i work for a mobile says company and it just shows how old fashioned you are just like your choice of phone.I can easily check all uk stores at the click of a button.Its called computerisation then again i would expect you to realise that using a nokia lol.you stick to you antique and enjoy it.The facts remain the lumia is not selling and it dosent matter how you bitch and moan about it nothing going to change.This isnt a beeftalk about brands and i suggest you calm down.I use apple and android and without a shadow of a doubt these operating softwares are selling unlike wp7.Prepare to eat those words in a few months and im sure youll still be on here as it seems to me your having a massive brainwashed love affair with nokia.

              Given what else is presently out there in the market place, one should'nt be surprises at all by these figures.
              Windows Phone7 Mango, orange, peach, or maybe Lemon? Why bother!
              Nice looking product, but really that's about it.
              Good luck Nokia

                P.S. for GSM Arena: The Lumia was lunched only in UK by now.... 500k units are very good sales by now.

                      nokiafailure, 22 Nov 2011If nokia has all the patents how can other compainies make ... moreseem u have misunderstood. Nokia has patents for GSM radio, not cellphones. They not that evil to prevent other OEMs from making cellphones. No, no, that will be too Apple like ;). Im not denying that samsung's innovations especially in the display sector. Im just questioning whether samsung will be dedicated enough to continue on nokia's innovations throughout the years.

                      Btw, i nvr brought symbian into the discussion, pla don't start a flame war. Fyi, symbian wasn' even developed by nokia in the first place, it was by Psion. Nokia just bought it over and now is theirs

                        Once upon a time Nokia had 9000 communicator, N800 tablet and E90.They had the phone the tablet, but no they are greedy.They do not want to share the profit, with the people behind free operating system.They made the decent phone N900, but no they are smart.They will no fixed the bugs.They became arrogant.They made Nokia #1 and after that they start thinking " Any crap we produce we will sell". Noway. Good buy Nokia welcome HTC;LG;Samsung.

                            to be honest, I wish Nokia WP to fail, that will open an oportunity to MEEGO and new Nokia phones based on real OS like MEEGO. Long life Symbian & Meego!!!!

                              They still have Meego. They really messed up by charging so much for it. For the same amount of money you can pick up a Samsung Galaxy S2 which is better in every respect, except maybe battery life.

                                    yeah u just keep saying that.

                                    Do you even have hard evidence to back up ur 'statistics'. Where is this done anyway? What company are you working for cause is hard to believe u urself could check out 800 'stores by urself. And get ready to be owned in the next three months.

                                    Im also quite disappointed by the about of people who regard this unproven analysis as if it is the final and official result. I bet they don' even read the news and head straight to the comments and blast away.

                                    Pla dun be another Eldar, one is already to much for this world

                                      AnonD-31338, 22 Nov 2011So will we witness Nokia bankruptcy?no. And we nvr will. Cause if nokia goes down for some reason, the impact is more than just no more nokia in the market. All the innovations by nokia in the GSM sector will be lost together with it too. U think samsung will continue on with Nokia's innovations? Pls, not a chance, they just to busy copying apple and making and releasing phones at a rate that i bet they themselves could not comprehend. Same goes with other OEMs. So before you mindlessly bash nokia like u always do, at least stop to think about what has nokia done that has not only changed how we communicate but also our lives. Without Nokia, we wouldn' have cellphones in the first place. Same goes with mobile internet and sms. Peace

By definition these are fanboys of one platform or the other. What really matters is the opinion of REGULAR PEOPLE who simply love Nokia Lumia. They will be the real judges.
