Samsung also makes a Windows phone, the Focus. My wife has one. There was an article I read recently called 10 company names that will die out this year and Nokia was on that list.

Ahh, yes - forgot about the Focus.

I’d be VERY surprised if Nokia dies out. They’re the largest cellphone maker in the world, and absolutely OWN the Asian continent for both cellphones and smartphones. Something like 70% of India’s smartphone market is Nokia, and around 50% of China’s market.

And for all the sound and fury of iOS and Android, Symbian is still half - HALF - the world’s smartphone platform.

Nokia’s not going anywhere - they’re simply a massive juggernaut in the cellphone world.
