There are 6 billion customers or pieces of territory , where each customer or piece of territory can and must be won over again every months. So there's plenty of time and customers to keep Apple growing for the years. Posted by: kevin January 28, at AM. Nice post Tomi, although I think that you concentrate too much on the details like the battery and MicroSD thing.

I am also not deeply convinced that the Communicator or N93 form factors were that great. They were both quite bulky and probably not very suitable for today's markets. The real problem for Nokia has been execution for the last two years, and also some downright poorly designed products like the N97, which had a couple of very critical flaws, although the weird but ultimately quite usable keyboard was not one of them. I do agree that Nokia needs more innovation and truly high end products similar to the E90, but even more than that it needs to deliver the phones on time with no critical bugs. Fixing the remaining problems of Symbian is also important as well as delivering a convincing high end MeeGo device as soon as possible, but not before, because a buggy product could be potentially even worse example: N Thank you all for the comments.

I kinda expected this blog posting might stir up some emotions haha.. As usual, I'll reply to everyone individually. It did come from the heart and I was quite stunned reading those disasterous Nokia results where I honestly expected an N8-propelled recovery in Q4. As to Nokia HQ, I do know that my blog is rather well read - but also, I know it is but one outsider's view, and because I am so far removed from what is going on inside, I am increasingly also seen as out-of-touch haha..

Thats life. I give what I can, I am as loyal as is possible to the Nokia brand and I can only hope for their recovery but - nobody rules forever. Nokia owned a decade, and that is a massively long period in high tech.. And while I admire both Apple and Google, I agree with you that I wouldn't trust a tech world run by Apple - they are a nice 'niche thorn' to the side of the industry but personally I do not like their refusal to conform to industry standards; and Google, I think they skate dangerously close to the line between 'do no evil' and 'we are really evil' haha, several mis-steps that to me say, they are not quite 'meticulous' about not doing evil, not even today, what happens when the founders get fed up with Google and semi-retire and the next managment team takes over and perhaps doing some evil will be tolerated even haha..

If they then own half of all computers smartphones and half of mobile phones - both obviusly only on the OS level but that is where the control would be, it would be quite a platform to rule the world haha.. Not that Nokia are angels, just that Nokia has at least consistently preached and practised open standards, and has continuously attempted to work with rivals.. MeeGoUser - thank you so much. In all honesty I was pursuing very hungrily a career of growth and higher positions at Nokia HQ, but was also becoming disillusioned by all the internal meetings which are a necessary evil, obviously in large organizations and found to my surprise that I far more enjoyed the public speaking opportunities on behalf of Nokia at the time.

Soon as the book project was nearing, I was understanding that I'd be far more happy with my career as a 'pundit' and 'expert' on the 'outside' with my strong opinions, than play the politics and being 'nice' to be able to rise on the career ladder. If you think Anssi Vanjoki got a bum deal being a bit too flamboyant and outspoken - if I had risen to VP level, I probably would have been the most outspoken and therefore most unacceptable of my peers haha.. But once I discovered my freedom as an independent outsider, writing my little books and my little blogs, I am the happiest I have ever been in my career.

I think I was destined to do this, its for the corporate types to conform to expectations and run the big companies haha. On the US tech blog hostility, I think its rather strongly associated with Apple, those that are strongly fans of Apple tend to be very negative about Nokia, those more neutral about Apple honest, seeing both the good and bad tend to be reasonably fair about Nokia.

But you make a good point, that the US market has not seen top line Nokia smartphones so they don't really know the top end, not even from years ago when Nokia's top phones were quite magnificent. But the point about US carriers - that is the main reason why Nokia's US share is so lousy - and I do not mean this is only the side of the carriers, Nokia has done just about everything badly in those relationships, pretty much poisoning them at Nokia's side, from being the leader in the GSM vs CDMA battle, to Nokia's insistence to not cripple its phones something US carriers have typically demanded for premium phones etc.

Looking at the latest announcements that T-Mobile is after all not going to launch some Nokia smartphones, speaks loudly of how bad the relationships are. This is very bad for Nokia. Antoine - Great point about believing in that vision. Steve has a clear view of what it is to deliver an Apple product and he won't let a device be sold that doesn't satisfy his opinion - and for that, he would not bother to run any focus groups etc.

The Apple new product has to be satisfactory for one person - Steve Jobs - and he wouldn't care if a million consultants sing another song haha.. Nokia did have that kind of belief early on - so many wild, weird choices - like music as ringing tones, like putting a videogame snake on a business phone, etc. But that belief has died a slow death, I think. Perfect contrast with Palm. Totally agree. On the N97 keyboard, I think its a couple of things, the layout is part of it, but also the tactile feel of the keyboard is very poor I never owned that phone but tried it out quite a lot, as I had wanted to love the phone, but decided it was not worth having, it was not worth replacing the E90 for many reasons, the keyboard as one vital one - haha, for me and my use of SMS haha.

Mick - thank you for your personal viewpoint. I was writing fast, I should go add a paragraph or two about it. That is so true, and it was so different a decade ago when I was still employed at Nokia. We had a culture that understood the role failure in innovation, allowed experimentation, and the mantra was to learn from failures.

But along the way - I think the N-Gage experiment was the most painful I think and quite costly - suddenly top management became allergic to failures and yes, I hear it from many of my sources, that Nokia middle management today is paranoid about failures, and the organization is thus paralyzed. Very good point.

I understand the sentiment, 'fire them all' for those who are clearly not pulling their weight, but that is not quite feasible in Nordic countries haha. It would more work in the USA. But he might ask senior management in such 'incompetent' units to volunteer to resign, to seek alternate employment - and to disolve the departments that are left over. Nokia does need new staff in many units, most of the staff is competent, so they'd soon find internal employment, but yes, the malaise of risk-aversion is poisoning lots of middle and senior management.

I felt - when I wrote about rumors that OPK might be fired - that it was too early, that he was not doing that badly - but obviously we are still seeing results of OPK's management, this Q4 is not really 'accomplished' by Elop, he is still running a company that is mostly running OPK's decisions and strategy - and if it was this disasterous - remember Nokia was on the brink of reporting its first-ever operating loss of the handset unit - and the total corporation did report one quarter of a loss last year - the decision by the Board was right.

Nokia was on a disasterous course earlier this year and the decision to fire OPK was the right one. Its too early to know if Elop is the right guy - but he is a significant change from typical Finnish managers, that is at least different from the management style that got Nokia to where it is now, thus it may be good - and my insider gossip says that Elop is good at listening and brings no baggage of the internal politics or pet projects, so he should be able to make very fair and unbiased strategy choices.

We should know much more when he delivers his Strategy speech in a few weeks. I have said time and again, that Apple cannot become a mass market juggernaut in handsets in the style of Nokia or Samsung today, or Motorola of the recent past. They do not have the DNA to do that, just like Nokia could not hope to compete for the extreme customer-satisfaction niche where Apple rules. What has been my beef with Apple, is that right now, from about on, definitely in , they could have captured far more of the market share - without any loss to their profitability you know i outlined my ideas of the iPhone Nano for example.

And that the time to do that would have been last year the latest, when Apple noticed their market share growth had stalled. Now every quarter they delay, is market share that is lost, because the market grows so fast, those customers will be with HTC or Samsung or Motorola or RIM or Nokia or whoever grabs them. That is my beef but Apple is obviously executing very well - considering their self-imposed handicap of offering only one new phone model per year. If they are able to offer many Macs and many iPods per year, they are certainly not too dumb to do the same with iPhones.

To me thats madness. Every quarter that Apple delays a Nano version of iPhone is good night sleep at Samsung's bada division etc.. Apple is doing just fine - they could be doing far better. And mark my words, kevin, when the history of smartphones for this decade is written at the end of the decade nine years from now, a famous 'obvious' strategic mistake that Apple will be seen to have made now, is to delay the launch of their product portfolio and abandon several points of market share.

And my point is that this - in the case of Apple now in , would not be at ANY cost to profitability. But we agree, its a long war, for this decade, so there is plenty of time to revise strategies. Look how rapidly Samsung sprung from the pack and leaped into the Top 5. It will get more competitive, not less competitive in smartphones. Marc - fine, I was writing off the top of my head, I had not planned this kind of blog - I had totally expected very different results from Nokia and was more expecting to write a blog explaining why we should not be surprised that Nokia was doing so well in the Christmas quarter haha I do agree that execution has become an increasingly sore problem for Nokia recently - when they announce a second delay like for the N8 - that is a sign things are very much a mess internally.

I also totally agree that they need to restore trust in delivering goods on time, and without bugs. I think Nokia has become the kind of new Microsoft for mobile haha, it used to be that every announced Microsoft Windows Mobile version was delayed, disappointing and buggy haha.. Leebase - haha.. No, I don't wait, I am way too impatient, so if I had seen this before, you can be sure I would have written it then. No, this is pure shock response from reading those Q4 numbers, and straight from my heart.

I think you should have known for years, that I have been saying again and again, that Apple is doing the right strategy, focusing on the top end and its user-friendliness, and that they are performing admirably. I have said that it is inevitable that Apple will split its product portfolio - I doubt you can believe Leebase that Apple never will offer versions of iPhones Nano etc. Apple has absolutely no viable way to compete for Africaphones But Leebase, you have heard me say that many times here, so its not quite fair to suggest that suddenly now in , I have discovered this truth haha.

I said so in and every year since, that Apple is not Nokia and Nokia is not Apple, Nokia's primary competition is Samsung blah-blah-blah, you've heard me say that so many times.. On the Corvette - its true that Corvette never has a big market share - but partly powered by the image of the Corvette, the Chevrolet brand was GM's biggest selling brand and GM for most of the past century was the biggest car maker on the planet. That is to me the relationship of say the Communicator to Nokia.

Having an aspirational phone or car helps sell to masses the cheaper phones cars. And again, the Corvette perfectly supports the market share issue that I insist on focusing here on this silly blog haha.

On that original iPhone article and the 10M sales - remember - the original iPhone 2G was not a smartphone! It WAS a music phone. Not my words, Oppenheimer's. When I wrote that blog in , nobody at Apple had admitted it.

But that is exactly what Oppenheimer said in , you know this, I blogged about it here. And exactly what was the original end-user price in the USA?

2. upgrade ios cisco switch 2900.
3. sony xperia go skype free download.
4. most popular dating apps on facebook.

It was dropped to dollars. Exactly as I predicted. As to Nokia 'about to add' Android or Phone 7 - don't hold your breath, Lee.
