Execution that was second to none, combined with targeting a market that wasn't typically the kind to buy smartphones.

They lunged in with:
- iTunes
- Excellent user experience
- A decent mobile web-browser
- Style, which WinMo and BlackBerry completely lack

The above combined with no small amount of hype allowed them to carry through until they released the SDK, which basically gave them the head of steam they have now.

Their acquisition of marketshare is no joke, and the why is not hard too see. It was impossible to see, however, for all the incumbents.

They tailored the iPhone to be exactly what the US market needed at that point, and from it, spread it overseas. The original iPhone provoked a big yawn in other markets, until they began to add the features the features people wanted (MMS; Multi-tasking, etc).

It was the first smartphone for many, it was shiny, it was Apple, etc.

I personally think they would have a bigger traction if they were to lower prices a bit, and at least add a model with keyboard.

Keep in mind the nature of this forum.
I can see where ur coming from, but all im saying is to accept the short comings of the company and not a nokia basher ive said in unmerous posts. it's not about the nature or anything else its about principle and what's wrong should be quoted wrong not sugar coated and enameld by excuses like the age of software and etc.

Benny, I get your point.

But ultimately I'd gather that nobody really has said that they've lost to Apple moreso as Nokia is just losing focus if you were not as informed as the patrons of this forum about what's somewhat going on at Nokia.

And that is not a lot. The whole problem with bringing up Apple is that most really don't think that Nokia is losing to Apple in terms of money nor sales. They're losing because Nokia could honestly pump out a better something if they only focused.

So can you show me why the jump is bigger than I think?
How many people run Mer on a consistent basis?

Nokia was ruling when the battle of phones was not this intense...

And when the competition with touch screens and smartphones got tougher, Nokia is basically lost in the middle of nowhere... using a community as its right hand to finished their unfinished work...

but I like my 1ghz N900 now..... until I can afford £400 for a HTC legend...

edit: talking about Apple, I seriously think their Notebook designs are amazing.. but wouldnt get one .. never . FFS

Because QWERTY phones are currently the best for messaging, and right now, SMS is where the money is. That is why so many recent launches of "youth" phones (which SMS a lot) have QWERTY.

However, I agree that if they think the model is working for them, they ain't gonna change it. Ferrari is what it is because it makes Ferraris, not Lamborghinis.

From what they said, before jumping blindly into the touch screen battle, they stopped and started changing their whole profile of just being a handset maker, to be a service provider, with handsets of top. That, off course, made them delay the launch of new models.

All that effort, the new services and the long awaited new phones, should bear fruit this year. Let's wait and see if they were right.
