Nokia’s been the leader in Smartphones for years. Do you have ANY actual data to the contrary, other than articles about people warning that Nokia may LOSE the lead in the future?
Right now, they simply dominate sales of Smartphones worldwide; every sales survey says so. So until you can come up with a sales report/market share that shows otherwise, the May 19 Gartner report (which is consistent with previous Gartner reports for the last several years) still stands, and my statement is 100% correct: Nokia dominates the Smartphone market.
Facts trump prognostication.
"Do you have ANY actual data to the contrary, other than articles about people warning that Nokia may LOSE the lead in the future?"
Did you even read what I posted this evening? Nokia remains the volume leader, I do not dispute that, but according to the
facts in the three articles I posted, it is not just losing that lead in the critical smartphone category, it has already lost much of it in key markets such as Taiwan, Europe and (as you admitted) the U.S., due to the simplest of reasons: the pace of innovation passing it by. I've asked you where it maintains this mythical dominance you speak of, but you've successfully danced around that question so far. So I'll ask again: Zimbabwe? Brazil? Jamaica, maybe? Bottom line: Its momentum is worrisome, and I'm not the only one to think so: hence, its frantic reorganizations and the loss of fully
half its stock's value in recent months.
I understand there's comfort of sticking one's fingers in one's ears and humming, but do you need to be so obvious about it? Jeez Louise.
