recent nokia products have shown nokia to be behind in hardware terms let alone ahead. if they release a droid phone it must be at least on par with the competition to even stand a chance and as the other member said windows phone allready has one nail in its coffin so what are nokia waiting for? in their posistion they don't have the luxury of time, waiting

where nokia might stand a better chance is where budget android phones are concerned. but they need to be producing droid phones asap if they are going to whilst still making wp phones. its all about having more strings to your bow after all

Still dunno what they were waiting phone when every1 was buying droids they still made symbian n wp phones.

i see samsung buying nokia in the future

Unfortunetly Nokia even if they came to Android would find it hard at this point. One of the things that makes Samsung so powerful, competitive and innovative is that they make a large amount of their own components: CPU/GPUs, Displays, Memory chips, Camera modules etc...so not only can they fit their phones with state-of-the-art components, they can then sell them at much lower price and at the same time keep a high margin, Nokia dont have that sort of power and at this point dont have the fina

dont have the finances either. The day LG find their feet we are in for S.Korean dominance in the mobile industry, as much like Samsung, LG also make a lot of their own components, thats why Apple are on a shopping spree, buying memory chip companies and so on.

its unlikely samsung would buy nokia. microsoft looked into doing the same thing but after a close scrutiny of all sectors of nokias business they decided nothing was worth buying, and that was the result of microsofts recent investigation.

business is business don't matter if the company you supply to is the company suing you, Samsungs chip and screen business are run separate to there tele and phone stuff so they make money either way

business is business this is true, companies will use and abuse each other its what happens. I wouldnt have thought apple would need to approach samsung for display technology but its more likely that samsung would produce components to go into the iphone. we have to remember that samsung are a little different to some companies in that they are also a major elecrtronic component manufacturer

therefore they make components that go into all manner of electronic devices from heating thermostats to car radios and also non consumer products. they have their fingers in all the pies which is the key to their success. and this is what companies like nokia need to start doing if they want to survive, branch out and do as much as possible.that way if something fails you have something else to fall back on. thats good business sense.

Looking back, it wasn't that long ago, a Nokia 6230 dominated the chav market, and n95 was popular with techies. Now the 6230 crowd prefer iphones, n95 crowd probably enjoy what Android has to offer. Not so long ago.. Nokia brought out say 10 phones with the exact same specs, different shell, but back then nobody cared. Only now each phone has to be unique. Has to dominate an headline. Nokia wont go to Android, theyre probably reinventing symbian.

android is the only way to go if they dont reinvent symbian. but I have my doubts about nokia re-inventing or updating symbian especially when they have allready hinted to its future as being uncertain. to make symbian a viable platform today it would have to be so radically different to be able to compete effectively that it would need something short of a miracle to produce an interface that would either measure up or better to ios and android and I seriously doubt nokia could pull something like that off now.

Oh come on, a nokia wit anna or belle is by far more expensive or at least the same price wit and average android or one wit the same specs. Everyone advice me to buy the android lol and i can see why, altho by me the nokia looks well too but it's kinda outstated n i need smthn fiable.

Symbian cant be reinvented, its based on such an old kernel, and was built for mobile phones in mind. OSs like Android are all about the 'post-PC era' that we are going into, an Android phone can now drive an entire desktop OS like uBuntu for Android project where the smartphone can now be a portable 'tower' and be hooked up to a HD flatscreen monitor, wireless keyboard and mouse and be used in the work place, Symbian simply wasnt built for that, even Nokia knew that and thats why they had b

...thats why they had begun working on MeeGo and so on.

proir to ios symbian had no real competition cos windows mobile wasn't phone friendly enough that's why nokia did so well at the time with their smartphones. there was no blackberry and symbian was like a breath of fresh air when compared to winmo which didn't give consumers what they wanted. but then apple and google came and the rest is history (period before blackberry)

to be honest when the first google phone launched I thought it would just be a one off device, but look what it kickstarted. I would have never imagined it taking nokias crown away for a start. If nokia had jumped in on the android bandwagon then they would be laughing in samsungs face by now. And they certainly would retained their crown whilst keeping symbian fans happy at the same time.

I watched both Android and WebOS from them being rumours, to their 1st devices. I liked Android but loved WebOS, unfortunetly the latter died a sad death due to mismanagement. When Android2.1 arrived with the 2010 1GHz phones: NexusOne, Moto Droid X, SE Xperia X10, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Desire and Evo 4G, i knew Symbian was doomed, got into many arguements with die hard Symbian fans, many of whom eventualy got droids

well I allways said we were turning into a nation of robots! (well that does of course depend in which nation you live lol)
