Given that Nokia was able to adapt enough to come up with Nokia Maps [1] (Decent mapping app with free offline maps), Nokia Music, Intuitive camera apps; I must disagree with that statement.

- joezydeco 13y agoNokia bought NAVTEQ. Is Maps because of adapt Nokia engineering or because of this acquisition?
- nivla 13y agoBoth. They did get a foothold from the acquisition of NAVTEQ but a lot of missing features such as real-time traffic, street view and satellite imagery needed to be integrated. This was completed with the help from Bing. The offline maps is truly a blessing. Running low on battery but still en route? Switch off 4G and Wifi, the biggest battery suckers, and the navigation still works without any hiccup. The last time I was visiting a foreign country and had no data service, it came in handy too.
- kalleboo 13y agoExactly. Nokia have been innovating, they adopted Windows Phone which is great. But they've still flopped in the marketplace. It's far more complex than "their software isn't good".
