And you’re right about Android cannibalizing Nokia, Kevin. Just recently I was going to buy a cheap phone for my mother as a gift. I had to choose between a Blackberry style Huawei, a touchscreen one from Huawei with Android 2.3, and a Nokia C3 which was more expensive than both. I ended up buying the Android one, even though I went to the store wanting to buy either the Blackberry style Huawei or the Nokia C3. It cost around $100.

At this point you have to ask yourself, why WOULDN’T you buy an touchscreen Android phone over a S40 phone or other such phone from the past, at roughly the same price.

And speaking of cannibalizing Nokia sales. It wasn’t too long ago when Nokia said Android would commoditize their phones. Well, I guess that’s already happening whether they like it or not. Their Android competition is doing that to them. It would’ve still been a smart decision to become a major Android player at the time.

Same thing with Nokia. Who cares how many they’ve sold since 1999? I mean sure, it’s an impressive number, and Nokia has been a major force in the phone world during the past decade. But this really isn’t relevant news for today. I believe Samsung is about to pass Nokia in how many phones they sell every quarter already. Last time I checked Samsung sold about 300 million and Nokia 300+.

Bottomline line, Nokia is losing the fight. Quoting numbers from the past decade won’t change that.

Window phones are a colossal failure in the market place. As soon as all the MS fanboys/Apple haters but their Windows Phone, meager market share will plummet to zero.

A lot of people and bloggers have monetary interests in Nokia and MS and want you to think their phOnes have a chance, but the truth is, nobody wants them.

Can’t argue with the relevance today, but that’s just a circumstance generated by the markets that buy these handsets. Their break will come when they can market a lumia for $12.
