To all the Nokia haters, how does it feel? to know that Nokia sells more handsets than Samsung, LG and Motorola combined. I bet you are now in fits of rage over this fact. Pity you can't fight facts and only a simpleton would argue to the contrary.

          nokia are a regressive company in a progessive market, apple iphone is the world best touch phone, 2 years on nokia are just about to release a touch phone and it not as good as apple's iphone, thoug spec seem better. at this rate they will contine to loose their market share, no way they can make this up with the tech they're using. computer and electronics companies have a better overall independant share than nokia. get your act nokia design and relase some good phones!

                      nokia is not popular here. everyone here has a perspective that Nokia phones are cheap, plastic and definitely NOT good looking phones. promise. it's true. If you have brand other than nokia it would be better, definitely better! haha!

                        Nokia sells more phones because it's market presence is beyond the rest of the manufacturers. I't doesn't mean that it has the best phones, but that it has more acceptability in business. That's is the same reason that makes Winnie the Pooh more markeable than the Simpsons, but it doesn't mean that Winnie the Pooh is better than the Simpsons, it's just a market-presence issue.

                                  You may know that Motorola is responsible for creating the world's first commercial handheld cellular phone in 1983, but did you know that the first words from the moon were relayed via a Motorola radio in 1969?

                                    Shahriar501, 23 Jan 2009Oh! MOTO. I forgot this brand. Is this still alive!!!? 1. Nokia - 470 million
                                    2. Samsung - 200 million
                                    3. LG - 100 million
                                    Moto is on 4 with 99.9 million headsets (very,very close to LG).
                                    Sony Ericsson is on 5 place with 96.6 million.

                                    iPhone stole some maket share from Motorola in the US market.

                                      now if only Nokia will listen to the customers. Why can they make a dual sim phone? How about a good quadband, gps and fast camera. The camera programs on Nokia make me go crazy on the speed. Is sad since I am a fan boy but latelly they lag behind. Even reception seem bad on their higher end models.
