Lumia is doing good

but their non-smart phone has gone down in an alarming rate. 21% drop vs. 8% drop the markets expected is very bad. This has been the strength of Nokia so no wonder the stocks went down.

It's like the ugliest nerd in high school (msft) asked the ugliest girl to the prom (Nokia).

And my analogy is on point bc they aren't doing much at this point.

LOOL dude do you even lift ?

The ugly duck MS and ugly Betty came together and created a supermodel whilst making many billions and many millions of phones respectively.

I don't see the insult?...

It's a tough call. NA would be tough competitive climb against entrenched Apple and Samsung. Developing markets like Africa or india have more room for growth, but are also more price-sensitive and therefore liable to be less lucrative and more susceptible to being undercut by white box manufacturers with microscopic margins.

At any rate, it's looking like Nokia has a decent chance of surviving this transition. They may never reclaim their crown as the king of mobile, but it least it looks like they might have a place in the new world order. Wish I could say the same of RIM.

That's one odd analogy :S

Whoa, bh much? Excuse me princess, I can't help but laugh each time I'm returning here and finding just another thread of yours how great things are going in Lululumia Land while them being on verge of banrkuptcy.

Are you sure you aren't one of those marketing bots who posts everywhere nowadays?

Yes, the transition was Nokia strategy, but it utterly failed at it:

And not only ~90% of their customers left, but they're making loss with each phone, sold lots of their IP assets (and even their own HQs). Their shares were downgraded to junk status by all the agencies, and so speculations are the only reason for their volatility.

I'm done with you for now. Will return when WP9 codename `The-Next-Big-Thing-In-Line` is released (and WP8 is dumped) to watch another season of the quarterly show which runs here ;)

My friend has the 920 he says that it's a really solid hardware but he complains of not having the same apps as Apple and Android.

very much looking forward to your next insightful post in a years time...

Wow. Really not seeing how that post was bannable. The worst thing he did was insinuate that kowen was a shill (which we all know isn't so), but that seems pretty lightweight to me. Besides his general abrasiveness, he brought facts to the table to back up his opinion, which is better than I can say of 80% of the posters on this forum.

In fact, from what I've seen, I didn't think saying anything about a company that doesn't make videogames was bannable on this site.
