Comparing Nokia and Sony (anti-doom thread)

Nokia is taking its last breaths, it's guaranteed. No one in the West evidently wants its Windows smartphones and the only market that is still allowing them to stay afloat is the third world market who still buy old-school phones en masse (you know phones that actually have physical buttons), a market where Nokia still commands a 30-40% marketshare compared to 5% in the West.

But within a couple of years the third world market will largely have transitioned to cheap smartphones (which Nokia can't provide because specs and licenses of Windows Phone doesn't allow it) which means we will witness a further decline for Nokia and imminent death.

Give windows smartphone a chance.

People said the same thing about android, oh it will never catchup to iOS.

What really killed Nokia in the smartphone race was their inability to make modern software that appealed to people, hence why they are trying to use Windows to see how that goes.

The success of windows phones and tablets will depend mainly on how or if corporation choose to integrate them into their office overer iOS.
