Since the iPhone is largely popular only in the United States -- and Nokia's territory is mostly the world outside of the 50 and 1 (DC) -- the likelihood of the iPhone impacting Nokia's sales is nil. How about looking at the growing market shares of Samsung (No. 2 in the world and biggest cellphone maker in the US) and LG (No. 3 in the world and a big player in the US), along with the growth of HTC (has large European market with which its offerings compete with Nokia's N-Series) for the decline in growth. Oh, and how about an overall decline in cellphone sales due to a) market saturation in mature economies and b) a global economic recession.

This post needs series re-write.

PS There is certainly an abundance of raw base material out there like "moldable display tech" (i.e. flexible, OLED ). So wow us and go make something "NEW"!]]>Jan 22nd 2009 11:43AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/"And it should be "serious", not "series."

Meanwhile, Microsoft is cutting 5,000 jobs. Shocker. A typical response to today's economic doldrums.

Palm will have very little impact on Nokia's market share for two reasons:

1) Smartphones account for less than 10% of the overall market.

2) No-one gives a crap about Palm outside of North America and North America is the least significant market for Nokia.

If I was Nokia, I'd be worried about their loss of sales in China. What the hell is going on there?]]>Jan 22nd 2009 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/Jan 22nd 2009 10:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/Jan 22nd 2009 1:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/It is obvious that the pre is a productivity device at heart, that also does music. Sort of like the Storm or the g1. Did you see them spend much time on the music and movie playback app? Its competitor is the blackberry. The whole iphone competition thing is just for the engadget power users.

At least that is the way things are going to be like during palm pre's first year.
The pre and android share a very similar vision: All your data on your phone.]]>Jan 22nd 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/22/nokia-loses-sales-money-and-market-share-in-2008-but-not-ho/
