Yeah, but it worked for Apple only because they were first (more or less). Nokia can't go that way. Their only hope is to adopt a successful OS and produce top-notch phones.
- fhars 16y agoNokia has always produced top notch phones. Their only problem is that it looks like they couldn't write decent software for phones if their life depended on it (randomly shuffling browser bookmarks every time I open the IMAP-client? Come /on/...) Sent from my Nokia E sixtysomething or other.
- metageek 16y agoRight, that's my point--I've been using Nokias since 2001. If they built an Android phone, its phone bits could be dramatically more usable than stock Android.
- protomyth 16y agoThe number of cellphones that are actually running Android, iOS, Blackberry, WP7, etc. compared to the total number cellphones is very small. Nokia has a lot of room to get market share for a competing OS. Also, if the average user of the above OSes does not download a lot of apps for that platform, the stickiness of the platform is reduced and Nokia could benefit if it could come up with a coherent OS / developer strategy.
