NOKIA lost its mojo. The heydays of world control is gone. If you are successful in the USA, you are successful elsewhere.

Wrong, wrong and wrong. Only Apple has been successful elsewhere, and of course Android. But Google is, and always has been, international. Android was big in Europe, and only now is becoming large in the US (larger than Apple). In fact, the "internationalism" of Google is why it is hard to think that Android will ever loose the battle. MS is getting there with WP, but of course they are everywhere with Windows (PC).

Motorola: Big in the US, non-existent elsewhere.
RIM: Big in NA (almost monopoly), non-existent elsewhere (except UK and Germany with a few percent market share).

A better saying is, if you are big in your home country, your chances for success elsewhere are larger than they would have been if you were small.

Erm... no. Motorola isn't huge in the US either.

Currently in Jamaica and BB is huge down here.

Wrong.

If you have a good product, market it well, have distribution channels that can match demand and allow for ease of purchase, return and/or test-driving, you have a hit on your hands if it is something that fills a certain need and/or want.

Country of origin doesn't matter as long as you are able to adapt to many other regions.

OOoops, forgot Jamaica

Yes, good products is a must. It's the definition of "good" that's the problem.

So... awkward question, if it's okay to ask? Anybody still have Nokia stock? Where was it when you bought it?

Nokia stock seems to stabalizing at the moment. Let's see if the next report can give som boost in the right direction. At the same time, Apple stock seems to be the next nokia. Stock going down even faster than nokia did.

I was expecting you to post that post after I posted the apple posts so we are even. Either way, some people here might need perspective of what the actions of nokia stock means. This is nothing special. Happens market leaders all the time. Over and over again.
