There was an era that my look for a new smartphone
would begin (and probably end) by visiting Nokia.com. The Finnish company offered the largest selection of phones, the most beautiful designs, and was the most popular brand across the globe It was difficult to choose a poor phone from its catalogue. Do the same now you’ll find each link you click on Nokia homepage linking towards Microsoft’s Mobile Devices division -the latest version of the Nokia that we all know and loved.
It’s an entirely different mobile environment than the one we’re in today, but the most remarkable is that Nokia was the first to see it coming.The most powerful phone available currently is clad all over in aluminum, and features an impressive camera that is protruding from the body. So did the Nokia N8 in 2010. The iPhone that’s gaining the most praise and is now a huge success is the fulfillment of a plan Nokia had a year back:
to combine the most powerful camera
with the most durable building materials and let other phones try to emulate your specs. What Nokia did not do well with its phone is its operating system. Its N8 design was all set to launch in the beginning of 2010 and would be among the first phones with 720p video recording however, the constant delays in the latest Symbian version delayed its release back to September.

The hardware was being held back by the software that was, as a Nokia employee informed me that was being developed in separate silos and would not be integrated into a common operating system for the last weeks prior to launch.It’s huge!” He says with a smile. “But it’s also gorgeous and extremely skinny the second time.”
They’re not the words spoken
by the Apple’s Phil Schiller describing the iPhone 6 Plus They are the words of Anssi Vanjoki when she presented Nokia E7 at the Nokia E7 at Nokia World 2010. The E7’s screen size of 4 inches was considered to be huge at the time However, Nokia recognized where our preferences were headed. Check out the rest of the presentation from the September 2010 gathering, and you’ll be hearing about personalized services based on location that are similar to Google Now.
“And it is a space that we intend to own,” stated Executive Vice President Niklas Savander in the year. Although wildly optimistic, as it might sound now it was an attainable desire for a company which was the market leader in mobile mapping and navigation however its software did leave something desired.The N9’s unibody design was so attractive to view and pleasant to touch that it created an entire line that included Windows Phone progeny that continues to this day by introducing Lumia 730. Lumia 730.
Multitasking and switching feature
of the N9 is also widely replicated by phones of all kinds or operating system, which is why it can be used to wake up with a double tap. The phone was, and is still, a triumph. But, MeeGo development wasn’t proceeding in the same way that the new Nokia chief Stephen Elop had wished, and there was no app ecosystem talk about, which is why the N9 and its predecessors were dismantled in favour of a more practical Microsoft-led model.
The list of issues Nokia predicted but was unable to adjust to is unfortunately long. Another instance in which Anssi Vanjoki appeared exaggerating the likelihood his prediction that DSLRs would soon be replaced by cameras. I laughed at his outrageous claim at the time, but looking at the new iPhones and including the Panasonic CM1, and Nokia’s Lumia 1020,
Nokia’s are certainly plenty of great
options to make some people to ditch the huge dedicated camera. Nokia is, naturally not alone in its prediction of future developments but it has been better than its dramatic decline from the top might suggest. As with Palm and webOS, Intel with Mobile Internet Devices as well as Xerox using the graphic user interface, Nokia has repeatedly demonstrated that being the first to introduce the right idea isn’t a assurance of its commercial success.
