Also Nokia wanted to flood the market with cheap phones to curtain the people from seeing other brands. I guess this might have created them a support nightmare. New kids understand the concept of singularity and just strieve for perfection, lefting Nokia the land of the lost buttons.
- peterwwillis 16y agoThat never happened in the US. It was only the past couple years that S60 phones got introduced to AT&T and other US carriers as bundled with contracts. And nobody's going to pay $400+ for a phone they know nothing about. I always decried the fact that Nokia's phones were more advanced than the iPhone when it came out, but nobody gave a crap (they also didn't know it existed).
