Huh? I saw nothing indicating "Nokia sales dropping like a rock lately". Do you care to provide a proof link? Their sales last quarter increased, and once could argue only that the increase was smaller than for the rest of the market, and that's what I could agree with. As for Samsung, they're making android phones as well as handsets based on winmo, symbian, and their own platform bada, that's their way of strategy.

So, from my perspetive, you demonstrated lack of knowledge enough to ignore your post :p

not so fast:

Nokia "not prepared" for smartphone onslaught; could sell its handset business

Nokia's director of strategy, Anssi Vanjoki, admits that the Finnish company was ill-prepared for the sustained and undeniably successful attack on its commanding position by the likes of Apple, Google and RIM and "does not rule out" the sale of its handset business at some time in the future. Martyn Warwick reports.

Nonetheless, this begs the question as to why a man as senior as Anssi Vankjoki would tell the press that he "does not exclude" the selling off of the jewel in Nokia's crown at some unspecified date in the future. It is also evident that the head of strategy is not a loose cannon and did not make his "on the record" remarks off-the-cuff or without the knowledge of the Nokia board.

So, what's going on? Well, Nokia has taken a hard knock. Hitherto, the company was seemingly impregnable up there in its Nordic stronghold, but times are changing.
