is NOKIA lossing the market?

Question

nokia was having monopoly in mobile phone market for many years. but after many companies coming in & cheap mobiles in the market does nokia has any threat of lossing the market?

Answer 1

Yes,I think with entry of sony Ericsson.
IT'S BECOME a very noticeable trend that Nokia's grip on cutting edge technology in mobile handsets is loosening markedly.
Famed for being a couple of jumps ahead of its competition, Nokia is beginning to lag in key technology areas. We're not talking about its deliberate reluctance to introduce a silver painted, clamshell handset like its Asian based competitors. That hole in its repertoire recently bit the dust although Nokia insisted on using the word 'fold' rather than clamshell to describe the folding fabric-encased handset it announced it the US last week.

The world's aleady moved on to handsets which can enable users to view TV signals. NEC showed a working prototype capable of showing digital TV signals at ITU Telecom in Geneva. Nokia responded by announcing the 7700 which is its 14th handset to support the Symbian OS. The 7700 should allow users to view TV programmes but it's not due until Q3-Q4 2004. NEC is bound to beat Nokia to market.

And guess what? The Sunday Telegraph ran a report that Vodafone has placed its (very large) order for 3G handsets and the winners are Japanese manufacturers (NEC and Sharp, we reckon). Not a whiff of a Nokia 3G handset order.

A very similar thing happened to Novell at its peak. While its market share continued to rise, Novell showed no new ground-breaking technology. Then, in a wink, Microsoft stole the server market from Novell.

Complacency kills. And if Nokia takes its eye off the ball, it could wake up to find its No 1 slot looking remarkably shaky. Let's see who really sells loads of handsets over the festive season.

Answer 2

well nokia is loosing in the middle market range where Sone has come out with loads of features such as walkman, clear camara, sound quality ect. but nokia is looking at the future market. they are really good at anticipating the future needs and putting up advanced top range models. if you have seen the latest 80 range you know what i'm saying. so if you split mobile market to middle and upper, nokia is loosingthe first and thriving inthe second

Answer 3

I don't think so at all as in the end it comes to reliabilty and services available to the public- and Nokia is top in this. It's really difficult to find enhancements or services for phones other than Nokia. Nokia has all kinds of differently priced phones for everyone. I think Nokia is still way on the top.

Answer 4

NOKIA never had a monopoly, Motorola, Eriksson, and other manufacturers have always had a fair share of the market

Answer 5

hi,

dont be in a confusion, nokia is a leader and has best supply chain, best mobiles. Other mobiles like sony provide only sound quality not overall performance.

Nokia stands on top

Answer 6

Yup, pretty badly in fact. So much so that they abandoned their own operating systems Symbian & MeeGo in favour of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. You are looking at an old 2008 article comparing, plus its obviously biased towards the 5800. vvv
