What's the reason that Nokia cellphones become less popular?

I guess it's just the marketing power of the other more popular celphones nowadays. I too had a nokia celphones when I started out. I even had one of the more expensive models. Then the blackberry machine took over and I got one. Nowadays, apple's got the power so I'm in the middle of transition too. I don't think it's anything but the marketing. If there are any glitches in the software, I'm sure they would have been able to fix it.

Maybe because nowadays people more interested in android and I don't know. Nothing is last, people like something new and fresh. But Nokia is still my favourite.

Well there are so many phones now in the market. Before, it was Nokia who offers a lot of models and they were most likely the number one selling phone before. But as technology develops, many other phones came into the picture with far better features and better performance. Samsung came into the picture and of course, the iphone. Truly they are great and wonderful. Perhaps Nokia failed to compete with what other phones have offered and this probably is the reason why their sales went down. But who knows.. perhaps now they are thinking of developing their phones to compete once again with the newer models and brands.

Yes you are absolutely right. Their decision to stick to Symbian is the main reason for the dip in the sales of Nokia Phones. Android & iOS are much more capable mobile Operating systems and everyone prefers these OS now. There are not many apps available for Symbian and even the OS is not as refined as Android or iOS. I hope the sales would improve atleast a bit with their latest Windows Phone 7 lineup..!!

I guess so but according to IDC America, Nokia still hold the top spot with the most sales, although it continues to loss market that should be willingly given yo Samsung. So, the cause of Nokia market Down are : 1. Operating system problem , not following the trend and people move to Android 2. Many smartphone market 3. The emergence of the local mobile vendor 4. Losing competing with local vendor 5. Nokia mobile feature.....behind the times

their could be so many reason. 1. because they do not give dual sim phone, however less. 2.because their are more feature available in the other phone at the same prize.

I think it is because people want alot more features than what those phones offer. I really like my Nokia phone though. It is all that I need.

Yes, i really think so too, I guess it's because their phones are so expensive, even their most basic cellphone is so expensive. Also there are so many other brands that are cheaper and much more functional than Nokia like myphone, etc. I think people are becoming more practical than being brand conscious now a days.

yes, with many surveys said like that.. maybe here are my opinion.. 1. too many big opponent or competitor of Nokia, like from Blackberry, Samsung and so on.. 2. Nokia is late for updating many series and only depends on their famous series like N70, N73..they forget something that now the era of Tablet PC and smartphone and they are late for launching their series for PC tablet and smartphone.. 3. they are wrong when choose a partner..they should choose android as their OS in their cellphone or product, but they choose unpopular windows phone.. 4. the price of simple Nokia is still exspensive and it`s not popular when somebody want to buy a same price of Nokia with another smartphone who had price more cheaper than nokia series

No I think no popularity is less of Nokia phone. Still if I want to purchase new phone then I will prefer only Nokia phone.

i agree..before all of my friend are using Nokia phone but now they are using androids. I don't have enough money to buy android phone but i always borrow my friends phone just to play games. We are still using Nokia phone but just for sending text message because it is still more easy to use type in Nokia than other phone brand. Happy Mylotting..

I think it is not mainstream to have a nokia telephone. The new mainstream are those stupid telephone by blackberry. Or those telephone by apple. Iam a proud owner of a nokia n73 and I like it because I don't feel the need of ping or other tings, And another advantage is when your nokia falls it doesn't break or is damaged. And when your iphone or blackberry falls it is damaged and it doesn't work properly.

yes, its because that they are no more in the state to competing, as we know this finlad company made its mark in the past but they are unable to do so in the future. may be its because they are not offering the same features as the other heavyweights are doing. and during the course of the year moble market has een growing with an immense rate.

Nokia cellphone is getting degrade in its production and sales. Because apple will give quality products and also improve various features in it. Apple phone is highly protected and support various application and software.

Hi! You appear right to me that many users are resorting to 'Android' operating system which is apparently much faster. Also, other companies such as Samsung and Motorola etc. are bringing in much cheaper handset in market than Nokia phones. Happ New Year to you. :-)

Hello you less I heard a rumour that Nokia is going bankrupt but I don't know how much truth is into that. I am a good fan for Nokia phones, but I rather use them as phones not for devices full of games and aplications. Cheers and Happy New Year !

Hi Friend, Technology is all about innovation. A company can beat the competition if it has a great and innovative technical product and the company need to spend a lot to improve even best product it has. Nokia definitely is still the best company in my point of view but it its innovation and the barometer which keeps a check on requirement of the people is not there. In India it has great rapport among people but it fails to realize the importance of Dual Sim phones and that has put it behind.

Hi youless, You're right. Just a few short years ago, Nokia used to be number 1 in terms of mobile phone choice. They excel in range of models, reliability, battery life etc. The Korean phones like Samsung and LG pale in comparison. Now the tables have turned. Samsung will be number 1 soon I think. The reason is because Nokia has failed to recognize a superior OS and insist on sticking to their Symbian OS. Now they are going with Windows OS but I think it's too late as they will lose out as far as apps are concerned. There are so many apps built for Android as opposed to Windows. So unless Nokia adopts the Android OS and jumps on the bandwagon I'm afraid Nokia will be history.

Yes, yesterday I answered a discussion that why aren't Nokia moving onto the Android O.S. and a common response was that they don't want to be a part of the crowd and do what the others are doing. But unfortunately, people think otherwise and want an android phone. But if my android phone screws up, I may still go back to a Nokia phone. The first ever phone that I had was a 3110c. I loved it and still do. Also, the N8 is considered one of the best phones, with symbian Anna and 12MP camera.
