There was no shock when iPhone was launched. Nokia had tried touch display phones already by that time and they had gone the way of N900 and deemed unviable. Disarray yes, but not because of iPhone. Of course there were people that appreciated the threat that iPhone might become, but if anything it was laughed at and ridiculed. I mean come on - no 3G and no QWERTY keyboard. Who in the world would use that! ;)
- butokai 6y agoThe N900 came two years after the iPhone, and Nokia's first touchscreen phone (the 5800) one year after the iPhone, though
- kefyras 6y agoNokia's first touchscreen smartphone came out in 2004. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7710 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_7710 it was an oddball, for sure, but still.
