still nokia is making best hardware on the earth but big problem is that they take very huge time to upagrade latest tech. in smartphones And the big problem is that they still using outdated operating system(symbian belle ,anna) and in competative market they use slow performance processor and very less RAM and GPU

finally i suggest nokia if they read this comment that they make smartphone according to need of thier market that what market expect from nokia they should take emergency steps to survive as king in market some suggestions for nokia

*Use open source os in single phone i.e,(symbian anna belle+android) i know it seams not possible but not impossible stand by dual os in single smartphone this kind phone shake whole market in future

*Use faster processor embedd intel tech and RAM and GPU should very greater performance

*Improve sound output quality in headset

*In every smartphone video player should be hd up to 1080p

*HDMI output

*slimmer design of smartphone

*pureview like camera in every smartphone

        I like Nokia
        The Main problem for Nokia why they don't upgrade the hardware like Samsung and all other smart phones
        any we can't forget symbian OS
        Best battery , More security than Android
        I wish Nokia return to the first again.

                in my Opinion. Android can't defeat symbian of nokia's, why? Becoz when an android phones opens apps,games,etc. It needs a lot of RAM. Symbian doesnt need too much RAM. And those cores. It only drains the battery life of an android phone. Unlike nokia only dual or single core to use battery life efficiently. Android phones uses/needs much RAM when playing HD games but unlike symbian no lags. The only problem on symbian phones today, they dont update or create another symbian os for s60v5/s60v3/s40 phones, Nokia why dont you create a os for s60v5? Maybe symbian belle lite.

                      Smartphone sales are dropped and Lumia series has sold less. I mean how could this be a good news? Especially, only real income they had is from the Nokia Siemens Network which is a device division, but an IT service division. Has the writer of this article invested in Nokia's stock? Come on.

                        With all due respect to all the supporters.
                        Just like every other Nokia article, most of the guys wish that Nokia joins android, few bash android. Compare with Samsung to keep happy that Nokia is best. Pure view is gr8 innovation,purehd is exemplary,solid build,first to do this, pioneer in that,wp is best,meego is great,belle is smooth,android lags,iOS sucks, elop is snake..

                        Have I missed something?

                              Nokia probably have their options blocked by Microsoft. MS probably have some clause which states Nokia cannot use Android or other operating systems (except perhaps their own, though I'm sure MS have even blocked that). Nokia launching Android phones would look like admitting defeat over Windows for Mobile, which in turn would be an embarrassment and a potential financial disaster for Microsoft.

Not saying it as a fanboy, personally i get familiar to any OS quickly and don't have problems with that, but considering how all the information systems work throughout the world it is more than sure that Windows' going invading markets gradually.

                                  Do you have any idea about current market share of MS ? Its 3.5 %,.lol less than 5%!!Hence how could you Dream such a nonsense man infront of A dominant OS holding 69% world wide market share?. 3.5 Vs 69 % :p
                                  According to Analysts ,windows phone is not even being a threat to android but can be a threat to apple.windows phones may be getting 19% marketshare by eating half shares of blackberry and apple by 2016.

                                    There loss was smaller than projected. There shares are up by 9%. Italy sold out of lumia preorders. France is doing better than Imagined. . So all in all next years figures already on the increase. Really folks the future is looking as colourful as there new lumia range.

                                      Nokia should seriously consider making better and faster smart phones and have android running in the phones. This will improve the sales drastically and company would get back to good olden days.. Its because they dont have the latest OS which is in trend.. So leave the ego apart and use Android Nokia.. U can also have phones with your software, windows and android..
