Nokia has problems. Smartphone problems. Software problems. American problems. But to fully understand what's wrong, we've got to understand what's been right, or to put in another way, what's distracted Nokia. Meet the most popular phone in the world.
It has been said that more of the world's population has access to a cellphone than to a sanitary toilet. But of the planet's estimated 5 billion cellphone users, a privileged minority have smartphones; a paltry few, iPhones.
If you spend hours thumbing through pages of apps, scoffing at less-than-perfect software upgrades and grousing about screen resolution and pixel density, it's easy to forget that the very concept of a mobile phone is a miracle. It's a device that shrinks your day to day world into a single point, making you simultaneously accessible to and able to access nearly everyone you know, instantly and everywhere.
Kinda makes you think, huh? The world has become a very small place, and with technology advancing at the rate it is, we're only going to get even smaller.
ReplyDeleteHa i just traded one of those in a few months ago for a Samsung Intensity. :D
ReplyDeleteI use my phone to talk..so that phone up there would work for me perfectly lol

ReplyDeleteSad to see Nokia die like this.
ReplyDeletewith the cell phone and other techs soon the world will be at the tips of everyone in the world with no loss it time
ReplyDeleteI need to get a new phone. Mine just broke today.
ReplyDeleteI don't own a cell phone but I do have a sanitary toilet.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a smartphone in every hand, personally. They're more useful than people think.
ReplyDeleteI had one of those, was great for bangin nails in!
ReplyDeletei had one of those phones. they sucked
ReplyDeleteNokia is terrible.

ReplyDeleteIt seems like the world gets smaller and faster every day. I can't even imagine having a non-smartphone, internet access or hi speed transportation.

ReplyDeleteI agree! Although I wish I had a smartphone...
ReplyDeleteI had one of these back in the day
ReplyDeletei used to have that trash nokia
ReplyDeleteNokia is the best!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI cant hate on nokia, all but one of my phones have been nokias. They got me hooked back in the good ol days, before color displays.
ReplyDeleteNokia are so old school use to play snake all the time on them :D
ReplyDeleteIt's so plain, but so practical.
ReplyDeleteDoesnt look so high-tech ^^ but I dont want my phone to have too much apps and stuff
ReplyDeletethe best thing about the older phones was the durability for me. i feel like iphones and blackberrys are so susceptible to breaking and I spend so much time trying to keep the screen clean or finding new apps that i don't even really need
ReplyDeleteI still see a lot of people using this phone and similar ones.
ReplyDeleteIts all about the business, phoning and texting ;D
