They can put in 12 MP cameras in their best devices if they want and it isn't going to make a difference except to bring their profit margins down further.  Trying to appeal to too many people isn't working out.  I'm sure they basically got screwed by the recession, but they need to focus on fewer devices.  It must be difficult for a company that size to change direction but that's what happens when a company is only focused on market share.  Does Nokia even have a smartphone ecosystem or just a bunch of different smartphones?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Average White Boy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 10:37AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia posts $834 million quarterly loss, smartphone share down to 35%]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</guid><description><![CDATA[@Average White boy, <br><br>They have a very established smartphone eco-system. <br>E-series is the business series: Against Blackberry<br>N-series is the All-in-one series: Agains Apple and others<br>5800 XM: Against ipod touch and other similar music oriented smartphones. <br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[hary536]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 11:08AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia posts $834 million quarterly loss, smartphone share down to 35%]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's interesting reading the Yahoo story.

This still kicks the crap out of everybody else.<br><br>That said, let's not mince words - the N97 has been a disaster (the N97 Mini is evidence enough of that) and Nokia still don't have a realistic competitior to the iPhone 3GS, HTC Hero or even the Palm Pre.  The N900 - and more likely the X6 - should change that but Nokia need to either up their game or accept they will rule the mid-tier market whilst ceding the high end market to others.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark Anderson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 8:39AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia posts $834 million quarterly loss, smartphone share down to 35%]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, the loss is because of that write-down, which is a one-time nothing.

That is why they have 1000, 2000 and 3000 series for them. Nokia caters not only to pretend geeks like you.<br><br>Some of the models you listed are not available in all countries, just like cars, TVs and whatever. Look at Acer, Dell and whatever. They have countless of models and sub-models with different codes for even the slightest difference in specifications like RAM amount. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[KIFF]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 3:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia posts $834 million quarterly loss, smartphone share down to 35%]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</guid><description><![CDATA[Can anyone name all Nokia phones?<br><br>No?<br><br>Ok that's their problem .. they have too many damn products.<br><br>The should have only 2 or 3 phones for each of 3 budget levels (low end, med, and high)<br><br>So in total they should have no more than 9 phones.

Ask any European what they think about he N95 and they will give a most likely a positive opinion based on actual use not just a youtube video they watched. Why? Because the phone was subsidized there 100% (Vodafone had it for free) ... So, we are just left puffing and huffing, wishing anyone at home, had the guts to pick a flagship Nokia phone. What is the fear you may ask? I am not sure. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tikiteko]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 15th 2009 8:41AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Nokia posts $834 million quarterly loss, smartphone share down to 35%]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/15/nokia-posts-834-million-quarterly-loss-smartphone-slips-anothe/</guid><description><![CDATA[I think all carriers in the UK had it free at some stage.
