Here's a crazy story that happened not too long ago: About 3 years ago I've upgraded from my old 3310 to an Android smartphone because I needed extra functions for work that I couldn't get on the Nokia and I didn't want to carry 5 different devices all the time. So, I got an Android and sold my Nokia. I was very happy with my Android and still am, but I missed my Nokia that went through so much with me over the decade I owned it. So, I decided to go on Amazon and buy another one because when going abroad or on holiday I didn't want to bring a phone I use for work just in case I broke it, I lost it or it got stolen. So last week I've ordered a used 3310 and it came in a couple days later. It was all fine, I took out the battery to put a new SIM in so its ready to go, and I noticed something strange. When I bought my Nokia 13 years ago, I wrote my name and a spare number in permanent ink underneath the battery slot on the phone, in case I lost it. When I took the battery out, I noticed my name and my old number written on the phone! I bought my old Nokia by accident! So I've got it again, and I'll never sell it. I love it to bits.
+DJ Shuffle That's incredible. The odds of rebuying the exact same phone you sold 3 years ago are astronomical. Even if it was sold locally the odds of that happening are really long. It's like that old saying if you love something set it free and if it comes back to you it was meant to be.
By the end of the video I felt quite emotional with the way such a great company went down... We the 90's kids all had them as our first mobile phone... And we will never forget the joy of holding them for the first time, and owning a mobile phone. 👏🏼
The app store is the main reason why Nokia and Blackberry fell. It allowed a phone, for the first time, to become extensible. The same reason why the Windows phone failed to compete in the market.
yes install dozens of those shitty apps on your android phone and it will lag like a hell even with an sd820 and 4 gigs of ram. Android is a piece of crap
+Denis Sabljarić I use a Windows Phone myself and I love it to bits, have been doing so since Windows Mobile 6.1 on my HTC Touch HD all the way up to Win10 Mobile on my Lumia 830. I still love the clean and minimalistic aesthetic the OS has, plus the live tiles are a feature that I think really integrates notifications very well in a well-design UI ^^ However we cannot deny the fact that it has issues, the app gap being one of them. Lag on Android only exists in the more budget orientated devices. Even the Chinese flagship phones with heavy skins such as the Huawei P9 and Mate 9 are able to run perfectly fine, the same goes with the stock-Android-equipped Nexus and Pixel line-up, the near stock HTC 10, the feature packed powerhouse of a phone we know as the LG V20, and hundreds of not thousands more. Even if it does lag, saying that apps are the issue is just avoiding the problem of not being able to attract developers onto the platform. If it really does lag Android phones, why doesn't Microsoft make a phone that has apps AND doesn't slow down? That would've been a perfect opportunity to take over the smartphone industry. If Apple can have a lot of new apps and still run faster than anyone else on their A10 chip, then I'm sure the combined forces of Microsoft and Nokia can conjure something up that'll shake up the industry. The fact is my Lumia 830 has never gotten an update where at least one thing isn't broken. The fact is the 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 810 equipped Lumia 950 XL crashes when running Continuum, as I've experienced first hand when promoting the phone to my father, as well as from other people's experience with owning the device. Sure, there are people who are alright with the device, but that doesn't make the complaints of disappointed owners any less valid.The fact is Microsoft focuses more on their Windows 10 PC operating system than their smartphones counterparts. I really want Windows 10 Mobile to succeed because it genuinely has good features, but it becomes harder to wish for that everyday when more manufacturers jump on Android and release stellar hardware with every subsequent device and Microsoft is left with only a select number of OEMs. It becomes harder to hope for an OS that gets buggier with each update when both Android and iOS are getting a lot better at making sure their phones can run really well. Plus, it's not just apps, but support from various other things as well. Phone case makers, service centers, custom programs for operating systems, carrier-tied deals, people have a tendency to go for iOS and Android instead of Windows simply because that's where all the money is, and I don't blame them. You take advantage of the more popular market, there's a higher chance of getting money there instead of investing in a userbase that makes only around 1% of the world's smartphone users. What I'm saying is, you can use and appreciate Windows, but we cannot deny that the OS right now is facing issues. Even Nokia right now under HMD Global (which is made up Nokia's older, more experienced workforce that Microsoft sacked for some reason) is running the latest Android 7.0 Nougat, and as a result it's become a huge success in China. Just one flash sale alone and they've got over a million bookings for the device and they've had to restock their inventory as they had run out of devices to give out to buyers. Say what you will about Android and iOS, but they're more popular than Windows Phone and their OS (plus the devices they're on) are getting better constantly. If Windows Phone wants to get even with them, then Microsoft needs to address a number of issues with the OS, rather than just be in denial and having the fanbase attack non-Windows users. Like I said, I love my Lumia, and I'm keeping it for bug testing, because there are problems with it and someone needs to tell Microsoft that rather than just treat it as if there's no troubles whatsoever. Progress can only come when you admit your mistakes and build on it. Anyways, sorry for the long essay of sorts. If I sound angry or offensive, then my apologies ^^" I didn't mean to sound that way, I just want to let you know that I'm doing what I can for Windows 10, and the only way I can do that is by accepting the faults we have and building on them
my lumia 520 was slowed down after a year and a half, just like my flagship lg g3. The only problem is that g3 was 3x more expensive than this lumia. And i don't need too much apps. Yes android can be good for a year or two with flagship devices, but they cost almost like a year or two old iphone models (6, 6s) and ios is much better. I will see now, this year i will buy some device probably redmi 4 and if it also lags after dozens of android devices i had - well than its done. If the win phone is dead next year i will go for an iphone , no matter the price, my head is full of this crappy android. On my g3 marshmallow worked like shit compared with lolipop. It needs at least 1,8 GB of RAM ??!! Android expensive devices slow down in a year or two just like win phone, but most of the windows phone devices (650, 640, 640xl, 550, 535, 532...) are 3-4 x cheaper than some huawei honor 8 or one plus 3
i think i will get now some windows phone like lumia 550 and than see this years what happens with win mobile 10. If its still alive at the end of the year i will buy surface phone. Otherwise - iphone. No more android, flagships are too expensive and far behind iphone, midrangers and entry level are crap
I got my parents, grandparents and 11 year old brother to watch your vids. Your content is higher quality than what airs on television. Hopefully more people will see your quality content.
Nabil Isham I do agree but you have to remember back then android was a choppy and unreliable is back then. plus using it would eliminate Nokia's exclusivity in terms of OS's.
No they wouldn't. Making Android phones is about speed of innovation and low cost of manufacture, not Nokia's strong points. Nokia would only have survived if they had beaten Android to market with a viable alternative OS and App Store to compete with Apple. Nokia can't work with other peoples OS.
True. I was never a fan of android (still not) and I was A die hard Nokia fan until I couldn’t take it anymore. Even if android wasn’t as great around that time as it is now, it was a way better experience than I had on my last Nokia. And it was light years behind iOS user experience. Solely as UI experience. I still own my last 2 Nokia phones, the Nokia N8 and the Nokia N900. Symbian and Maemo5. And the experience was sooo much better on Maemo 5!! First error was not going for that one. If they had launched the Maemo way sooner on most Nokia phones when they still had big share of the market, it would bring attention from app developers which equals to comercial success. Plus one thing mAemo did really good was full webpages. It came with 32gb internal + external storage and some very decent stereo speakers. Nokia N8 was a beast of a phone when it comes to versatility! HDMI out with 5.1 support, you could plug a keyboard, an usb pen, external disk, etc etc. plus it could be charged over mini usb (micro? Not sure now) or via that proprietary Nokia thin charger everyone had at the time. And it had some AR apps that were pretty cool. And to control it remotely you could use PS3 and Nintendo WII controllers. But that Symbian experience... huh it was terrible. It made me so frustrated many times. Typing experience was terrible with a full QWERTY keyboard. It was a lot better with T9, and that’s why Symbian^3, Anna and all versions of Symbian were never more than just the old Symbian adapted to a touch screen. And of course that would never work as good as the 2 other OS made from the group up to a touch interface. If they only had gone for the Maemo5 and later it’s evolution Meego way sooner. (check on TH-cam a Nokia n9 review and see how awesome meego was and it could be over time). Possibly, there’s a chance, Android wouldn’t catch on as it did. And possibly, there is a slight chance, today we wouldnt even know about android. I know today this is too crazy to consider and think about, but ya know it’s just like we learn from these videos. One bad or good decision can affect the whole future. And yes, being that they had this issue with the 2 software divisions, and said no to android when it was obviously a success already, it was the final nail. Microsoft or no Microsoft that’s just history that wouldn’t and didn’t change the outcome.
The final episode in the Rise & Fall of Nokia series and it's a screamer! I don't think I've seen anything like it on TH-cam. Feel free to share this one :) th-cam.com/video/NJS1C-j7TX4/w-d-xo.html
Lazarus Solsong The N1 tablet seems like a great little spark of innovation from Nokia but it'll ultimately be up to the sales figures to see where the company ends up. I truly hope the tablet does well.
Elop is disgusting and killed Nokia. It was still salvageable. If only they followed UNIX os prototypes. They were great. I will still keep my Nokia devices as momentos of a reign of a past king, and a damn good king at that too.
I still have my hopes as only the mobility division is sold out and not the creative minds. The N1 TAB seems promising too | www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n1-6814.php
Well, Nokia still lives on but it doesn't make smartphones anymore. The network part still lives on and bought Alcatel-Lucent recently. Still, I almost shed a tear. Nokia phones were the best when the mobile boom began. Since 1995 up until 2007 Nokia was the go-to default mobile phone. My first phone was Nokia and I still have it and it still works.
Their N-series, E-series & xpressmusic might be the groundbreaking.. But now seem it buried underground... Its samsung n apple domination.. Even blackberry... Fallen that hard to rise again...
I think, when this world goes to shit and everyone dies. An Alien race will one day visit this lifeless planet and they will find a Nokia phone under all that ruble with 50% battery left. Nokia is one of the most indestructible phones I have ever used.
+Joe Kurdish i still use my N8, even now it has 16GB intern memory, Micro Sd slot, HDMI, 12MP Camera, the software speed is ok, the design of the software and the phone is good i go to work with it i dropped it at least a 100 times it still works and it cost me way less than any other smartphone, it is simply all i ask for, if they just built on that i would hammer down nails with it right thru every f8cking bullshit apple device i see. i guess samsung is ok too.
The lumia phones were actually quite good! apart from the apps of course! My friend had a lumia that had better touch response, better camera, ran smoother and was cheaper than my htc one x but mine had more apps!! He said he regret buying it because of that!!
Symbian had capability to load tabs in the background. And that was many many years ago. I don't understand why to this date Android and iOS with ridiculous amounts of ram don't do that.
Nokia (n73 music edition) was my first phone.. It's like the foundation of what I know about smartphones today. Even though I use S7 now, no phones could ever replace Nokia in my heart.
I only got my first phone when i was 15 last year and has never owned a nokia, but my parents have and playing with their phones were one of the highlights of my youth, especially the xpress music phones which was the first smartphone similar to today's smartphone which i have touched. While never actually owning a nokia phone, seeing their new phones and maybe owning one will be a nostalgic feeling for me, i think the same can be said for people around my age.
Amazing bro! I tweeted out to my followers with the link to part one and asked them to watch all 3 and subscribe! Good work my man.. You got fans here in New York.
Nils Lorand not really, they just didn't catch up with the new generation, just like apple is not catching up with the new generation of consumers, maybe they succeeded with the "bit" older generation but they will fail with the new generation, people nowadays want to have control over their phones, the older one didn't care about that, just like the nokia users didn't care about having games or apps.
CP They had the top market share in smartphones for years! And you can't really address Nokia as a whole because, as explained in the video, their software developers were tragically divided.
Surely App store does Lack but once you do get Onboard i Guarantee you wouldn't Trade a Lumia for another OS even if you do u will miss it for Sure.Small details do make me Love my Lumia 920 the only thing i did get Mad on NOKIA is their bad decision of releasing senseless phones Low end phones don't make a sense at all the low end & the mid end shared the same Processor & ram and Stupid specs even L920 released in 2012 doesn't has a True Upgrade till now.
Helmi Farhan Haha anyways you'd maybe get to use windows 10 on your M8 also microsoft is desperately working on dual os booting and will make it official some day.As of now dual booting is being tested on Xiomi Mi3.
Jeremy Nokia has made the N1, it's an Android device. Once it gets Google Play and is released in the West, I hope we see a lot more mid- and high-spec Android phones from Nokia in the coming years. It's their only hope.
Same! My first phone was Nokia! I jus loved it, it had a great design and software but sadly it's all gone now maybe after my studies I will become the manager of Nokia! Yea I will jus remember me
Out of all you videos that I’ve seen this is by far the saddest one. I grew up loving Nokia and I still have one of my Nokia phone even though it is basically outdated. Big have to watch for innovation, progress and what is current or else they are going to fall behind. I almost cried at the end... hey bro, this channel is very informative. I watch your videos everyday since I found this channel.
That's amazing, I was checking out your channel just the other day. Great stuff! I'm also adding you to the video description so that people can find your video :)
ColdfusTion Great. Thanks for adding a link. :] I always wanted to know how such a great company can fall. Thanks for putting it together so nicely. btw, my first phone was Nokia 3110c ;)
First of all let me congratulate you for this series. I thing they're your best so far and the subject is indeed very interesting for most phone lovers. Now, as for Nokia, it's the classical story of an empire rising and falling because of their own decisions and internal power struggles. Arrogance and meaningless inside politics also took down the Roman empire. As you build an empire and become the standard of excellence for so long you often see organizations slow down. They don't innovate anymore as they already are so powerful and rich that they feel like they can literally own the entire world. It's true. They can do it. Well, until something special come along. The first problem of Nokia was the failure in accepting that the Iphone and his concept had change the world of mobile phones just like that. It took one presentation to end Nokia's reign. Everyone new that. Nokia knew it because the consumers knew it immediately. Who cares about 3g and what the Iphone couldn't do. The revolutionary concept gave people everything. A phone, a music player, an internet device, a GPS, a picture display and endless apps. At that point Nokia's arrogance was the nail in the coffin. They tried to keep their stupid OS that looked primitive to everyone. They had one chance: JUMP TO ANDROID. As they failed to accept reality and the old internal politic questions never were to be solved, it was just a matter of time until the sale of the company. Nokia could have been saved at any moment. It didn't need to be sold if they had accepted Android. What's the point to use Microsoft OS when everyone knew that it had a liability very similar to Nokia's OS: The useless App store. To me it's clear that when they decided to use Microsoft as the OS for Nokia devices, it was already set in stone that the end was near for Nokia as a brand. Resuming, it all comes down to old fat people failing to realize an abrupt change and disrespecting customers by thinking these would never leave them... Even when something huge had just happened. And even after having had the chance to humble themselves and jump to android, they chose to fight internally for no reason. Then, they sold themselves to Microsoft. A story very common to companies across the world. Morale of the story? Never sleep on passed glories and always be humble enough to accept and recognize they need to change!
Amen brother amen i 100 agree with all you said!! I remember having the nokia n8 and and every body was on blackberry ping. I felt left out than iphone came with the whatsapp. I felt left out again. Because Nokia did not have it yet a full year had oassed before whatsapp had come to Nokia users. By that time i was fed up with nokia and allways finishing last. So when the samsung note came i jumped ship. I got tired of allways complaining at nokia. If a company is not giving you what you want, leave them alone! And thats what i did and i think alot of people did the same.
i dont agree that android could have saved Nokia Windows Phone was actually more advanced but poor apps selection and software was locked down which brought down Wp7 WP will prove itself in 2015 guarenteed if there was an alternative to WP which Nokia should have taken,it should have been Meego which was miles ahead of symbian,ios,android and wp7 at the time
CITYGROUPTV Exactly. The company needs to conform to the consumer. Nokia, at the time, was so arrogant in believing their consumers would never leave them, that they started believing the opposite to the above statement. They started believing that the consumer needed to conform to them. And, of course, that's what lead to the downfall, seeing as everybody was flocking to Apple and Samsung for their innovation at the time.
Goran Đukić Yeah people blame Windows and say it should have been android wereas it was not why Nokia lost out on marketshare Nokia was basically playing catch and not deciding which OS they wanted for the future They created Maemo,Symbian ^3(Anna and Belle) , Meego and WP7 phones all around the same time but there were rumours about each One day,they would said they would go Maemo,another time they said Meego,another time they would say the new updated Symbian ^3,another time they would say WP7 People,especially the corporate crowd decided they couldnt wait anymore and moved towards Blackberry and iPhones because they were more consistent at the time Samsung was in a criss at the time and werent popular then... Only iPhones and Blackberrys had marketshare Once Android 2.3 and 3.0(for tablets only) released,Samsung slowly gained momentum because Google and samsung copied Apple designs etc(not taking sides here but its a fact,just see the early samsung droids) By then HTC,Moto etc all were losing badly with older symbian and Windows Mobile 6.5 phones and decided to go android because Google took over and there wasnt any other OS left to go to,Symbian had been dead(even the newer ^3 which was dead as WP7 got an exclusivity deal and by then developers flocked to Blackberry and ios and much later,android),Meego and Maemo were killed off as well but a bunch of ex-Nokia employees created Jolla which now has android support Jolla is literally what would have happened if Nokia went android(same familiar Nokia designs by some of the creators themselves) We dont see Jolla making waves either do we HP created Web OS and killed it off just as it gained momentum and could topple android and embraced android HP didnt regain its status with Android did it?infact it was more popular during the web os days Blackberry also bought QNX and created their own OS - BB10(formely QNX on the Playbook) which had android runtimes infact it does stuff alot better than android itself and runs non-google play apps even better than android itself They still didnt gain momentum did they? My point being people should wake up and realize Android doesnt make or break a company Sure it could be a shortcut but its very rare to see any company do well just because of android running on its products Nokia should have updated symbians kernel,continued Meego or Microsoft should never have changed the kernel with each update- Wp7,wp8,wp8.1,windows 10 thus leaving WP7 users in the dark without an update It has nothing to do with android
It is really sad that Nokia as a brand is no more. I was a really big Nokia loyalist until it stopped making good phones. My last Nokia phone was a C-7 Astound.
+IEWestSide I always had Nokia Phones. The old Nokia 5110 was the first one. I also bought Nokia N8, Nokia Lumia 820, Nokia Lumia 930 and I also bought Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. I had other Nokia phones in Between but the only 2 phones that I had that weren't Nokia and Microsoft were the Sony Ericson 610 and also another mobile in Chile in 2004 that was made for a Spanish Company called Movistar that bought under the company Telefonica the Chilean telephone company CTC (Compañia de Telecomunicaciones de Chile). The reason why I like windows phones is because they can synchronise with Windows 10. All of my photos, outlook people's number to call and messages can be seen on the Outlook on the internet and when I connect my windows 10 software on the internet. Because my Nokia Lumia 930 I believe had a virus because it started to play funny that I bought the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL and you can even put 200 GB of a Micro SD memory card too. It' the best Smartphone I have ever owned. Thanks.
One of its biggest mistakes was rejecting Android as a viable OS, yes they would have to use Android like so many others but in my opinion its was far better than the alternative they chose. Also one thing I really didn't like about what Nokia did during this period was reusing the series 40 OS on their Asha range of phones and suggesting they were smartphones when they weren't.
in India we are still waiting for Nokia to come back with a big boom like all flagship features in a low price. If Nokia can I think they can win the Indian market again because we trust Nokia for their durable phones
I don't trust them anymore. My last Nokia was nowhere near the Nokia I had come to love & trust. Add to that, the way they treated me when I wanted it resolved. For me, Nokia will have to do way more to get me to trust them again.
To people who claim it was because they didn't go with Android. Please do explain how Sony Ericsson /Sony fell just as bad with Android. Nokia in fact did way better by going with Windows Phone. The problem Nokia had was getting too late into the game.
why ofcourse, lets all make Microsoft the scapegoat. There obviously couldn't have been any other reason behind Elop getting a raise. Infact anyone who gets a Raise must've done something wrong. In the end, Nokia fell because of Google and Android fanboys that spread propaganda.
Kevin Varughese If you have a look at the sales figures of Xperia X10, Arc S, or Xperia S it's nowhere near failure. The Xperia line up was a success until Sony came up with the Z series design and kept recycling it. The supposedly premium Sony mobiles started deteriorating in terms of quality For eg. The Xperia Z , Z1 displays are nowhere near as good (contrast and deep blacks) as the competition (or even older bravia angel one's in Xperia ion or the Arc S are way better) Sony fell because they charged premium for a smartphone which was not keeping up with competition.
Kevin Varughese I agrre with co0lG, I guess that Nokia had to problems: -That it was getting too late into the new era -They used Windows for phones Sony was doing really, really, really well with Android, but what happened? I remembered that they started to increase the cost of their phones like if they were selling iPhones, so people went for other companies. I remembered that Samsung was a good and cheaper option, so it started to win to Sony until it kill Sony. So, I guess that if Nokia had selected Android and if they had made good quality (like they did) phones and cheap ones, they could have won or at least being competing with other android companies.
+Kevin Varughese but unlike sony ericsson nokia had that brand appeal world wide and rock solid devices so in my opinion going with android would have made a difference
Mr. MCPE former Nokia Is gone, but there's a company who owns license to release Nokia phone for 10 years. Nokia would be back with medium range Android.
I have been Nokia user for a long time. I particularly like that phone because of its reliability and roughness. But the main problem was App store. You cant find any apps in nokia app store. On the other hand, android has very rich app store and everything is available at free of cost. If Nokia had provided Android than it could have been a come back. But they didnt realize the opportunity. Sad. One big company just ended up like this.
Chadresh Patel With the Windows 10 update, developers will be able to copy and past their code from the Apple and Google app stores into the Windows Dev tool which will now work on the Windows App Store! Cannot wait! I also like the fact that after the release of Windows 10, all the updates will come right from Microsoft, not the cell phone providers, which means no more waiting for updates for 6+ months.
Not developing Symbian for years, and finally not putting all forces developing MeeGo were the biggest mistakes. Did you look at MeeGo UI? Some features are not even today available with Android, such as the smart multitasking system. It was hard to believe for me, they really broke Nokia on purpose, and the Finnland government just watched them doing that.
Fred Schriks From car roof moving 80km/h to rocks.... battery cover came off. Dropped it accidentally in work place while building concrete floor and next day i had to jack hammer it out from inside the floor... and redo the floor in that part. Still worked like new, thought it needed decent wash from hose to get battery cover open. Nokia phones were indestructible that time, now i would not touch "nokia" phone cause its made by Microsoft and would brake if you breathe towards it.
Hellsong89 Microsoft phones suck. I had a Samsung Omnia long time ago. That also had Microsoft's program on it. That's sucks balls. I want to go back in time and get a 3310 again.
Fred Schriks Actually you should be able to, thought i liked my flip flop model more..issue with it was that, it didnt work so well when talking to buddys with more modern phones.
Probably if they were like Steve Jobs, which steers the company's direction in one way, the only way that Steve wants it to be..that is to develop and market a full touchscreen internet enabled phone that have a huge market share that will eventually attracts huge app developer base to develop apps for its app store, then Nokia will still thrive. It is because Nokia does not have a clear direction from its CEO or top management, sets up 2 teams to compete with each other which led to internal conflicts, not focus on one and only goal like Apple or maybe just not flexible enough to adapt to changes in the market like how they did not want to tie with Android, still maintaining their old principle of being unique with their own Symbian/meego OS even using Microsoft OS instead the majority Android all these led to Nokia 's fall.
Windows phone OS is the best OS in terms of functionality, my parents use it and they love it, yet here I am with my galaxy s6 cause of the apps and the customizibility (custom roms etc.). Once the 18 month ban for nokia ends, I am 100% sure the nokia smartphone they release running android will be a hit, people love nokia, but they need to ensure its as reliable as the older nokias, I mean Lumia 920 to this day is a beautiful beastly phone.
+James Dean LOL. Funny how huge and rich Samsung Mobile is... and LG Mobile. And Acer Mobile. And Motorola. Shall I go on? On about how much better a phone the Nexus 6P is over any iPhone ever made?
R.I.P Nokia, my first phone was Nokia, RIP for Philip Phone, Ericsson phone, Sony phone, Toshiba phone.. now days it's Samsung, Apple, Google, and LG, along with Chinese phones. Cheap China phones will eventually kill Samsung, LG and Apple etc.. we all be using Chinese phones.
+Nabil Isham If you do not cry, its okay. Who told you "men do not cry"? It is a human emotion and there is no sex difference in crying. Don't be a stereotype.
Nokia is still living in the heart of many people, it will require a few good performing devices for Nokia to make a comeback. An another interesting video from ColdFusion tv, thanks for all the information.
I still use a Nokia, the Nokia N9. Meego Harmattan. Purchased five of them the moment Elop made his satanic presence felt, and I knew this good thing will not last long. I will always be a Nokia fanboy.
Why would a company just up and abandon operating systems that it's already working on in favor of a 3rd party one? It did end up hurting them but there's no way they could have known that.
They considered it, but wanted to gamble instead. Nokia CEOs usually talked about "3rd ecosystem" - the one challenging apple os and android. With its own OS Nokia hoped to be more attractive, unique compared to multi-company android. Due to the app lack, the effect was sadly opposite.
Awesome video!! One of the best...I personally used 3 Nokia devices before switching to Xiaomi. Everyone in my family has and is still using a Nokia device till date. Now with rumours of a Nokia device running on android hitting the web, I am eagerly waiting for it and how it fares. Honestly speaking, I would still like to use a Nokia device because of its durability and it's awesomeness.
My first phone was a Simens A55. Simens left the mobile phone market shortly after it was introduced. My second phone was a Nokia E52 When I got it, it became evident that SymbianOS was dead and the fall of Nokia started. Last year I bougth my third phone: The Lumia 550 from Microsoft with Win 10 mobile One of the first web articles I read on that phone was about how Win 10 mobile is going to be a total flop. And It looks like that article was right. I seem to have the power to destroy phone manufacturers. Should I try the Iphone ?
teh only reason behind their fall is that they invested in developing their own OS. They should've started making android phones. I mean who doesn't want an android phone with NOKIA's best in class build quality and durability
actually felt a lil sad watching this.. I've used the flagships N70, 73 and 95 during their respective glory eras and the feeling back then was priceless... Now everyone has a smartphone but back then it was a big deal to have high end phones haha
Although the brand is gone (I probably own one of the last nokia branded lumia phones), the technology still lives on thanks to microsoft's takeover. I think the most important thing is that all the hard work nokia enegineers & designers did in the past isn't lost. The company needed to be restructured from the ground off, and that's exactely what Microsoft did. Windows phone combines nokia's exelent hardware with a fresh operating system. I'me excited for the future!
Wouter De Wolf sadly most people are simply kids or android fanboys who wont see the truth you posted I look forward to Windows 10 as well posting from my 2 year old lumia 720 which is a much better purchase than my laggy Nexus 5 and 7 running lollipop
Karthik Naik You say that as a regular consumer, but think about the number of apps and the ease of development for Android. I am not a developer. I just use an Windows 8.1 device and although it is a tablet, I use it with bluetooth mouse and keyboard mostly in Desktop mode. The only Windows app that's usable is the mail app. Other than that they're all sluggish and when I return from desktop to an app it always needs to be reloaded. Sorry, but for now Android rules. I used to be a Windows fan back in the Windows Mobile 5 and 6.x times but since Windows Phone 7 appeared I went to 'droids. I hope that's gonna change with Windows 10 and the new "Universal" apps. I really miss the Windows times, but I don't think I'll ever go to a Windows 7.x/8.x anytime soon. Most likely I'll give 10 a shot.
Amazing Amazing Amazing !!!! You guys are doing something which i wondered 3-5 years back in my Post grad. days when i was undergoing a marketing management course. A place where we I can get complete short stories of corporate debacles and learning. If you make a website of your own and commercialise this idea into some marketing consultation stuff ... trust me you will have great success since you have already showcase the amount of knowledge you have from these videos.
I had an N800 and loved it. Maemo had its flaws but they could have been corrected; I'm not sure how the Meego derivative looked. I held off on a smartphone hoping the N900 would have a good release in the US but then it didn't, having limited data support on providers in my area. I got an original Droid later that year.
+RealiableCandy4 No , Motorola did that and they failed , HTC ,LG ,Sharp ,Sony and Lenovo are all making loses on the smartphone market , actually the overwhelming majority of Android OEMs are losing money , in 2010/1011 if Nokia switched to Android it's logical to assume it would fail too.
I used to love Nokia and who didn't? But after 2010s the product quality degraded substantially. The product lineupw they offered looked outdated in comparison with the slimmer Samsungs and Htcs. Moreover, the software experience wasn't as great as the others. Which made people resent Nokia products. I think you can't blame Elop for everything, may be he ended the company but it was already undergoing turmoil and ruptures by itself. It was a smart move on his part as he got a huge bonus from it. Maybe he could've saved it from happening but it needed a vision which he didn't have. The saddest part is that Nokia lost its main ideology and character in the battle to become the best, the reason why it became so successful. Nokia is credited for many of the world's firsts. It made mobile phone affordable for the general public by making the technology more efficient and cheaper. But it didn't evolve with time. The 1100s were better than their 1020s despite of being much more advanced. Nokia always worked for the lowest class of the population but it failed to offer the modern technology to their usual customers. But Google made it possible. Nokia was once like what Google is now. To target the masses your product has to be efficient and cheap like the Moto E, G, X, Nokia lost its way. The one company that showed what a mobile is to the world failed to evolve.
***** True! Apple was never a market leader in terms of volumes because of this very reason. But, it had the technology and ideas by which it has set benchmarks in the world of technology. By the early 2000s, Nokia had the volumes and the technology but by the fall of 2010, they had neither. The idea of technology has changed immensely in the last 5 decades. Google has turned-over the whole market theory by open sourcing everything; which is great for developers, and by making the technology affordable; which is great for the society as whole. This very idea made Nokia what it was!
Exantrn They already dominated everything else, so they figured they would give the Apple way a shot. I don't agree with it, but people seem to be content, so I don't think they're in any trouble.
My first phone was Nokia in early 2000, it was very nostalgic and sad to see the company phasing out, thanks for making such an amazing video, hats off to you bro....never thought I would be emotional for a company...
+abdumka I just want to yell at the Nokia management on the first introduction of Android OS, "FORGET SYMBIAN!!! START USING ANDROID OS FOR ALL NOKIA's PHONE!!!"
Funny you showed yourself in this video! Watched a bunch of your videos (most being a bit more recent) and had no clue what the person behind the voice looked like until now.
AJ Darlin Ngage made me Nrage. They will have to do alot to change the mindset of ppl like me who loved their phones but pissed off by sybrian OS and their arrogance.
The first phone i got to use was a 3310. i played snake for years with brothers and friends. No need for selfies and gram,it was quite good back then. my first shit was a Nokia C3...That's why i hate management and paper work people. They are always douche-bags who one day become even presidents to fuck up a whole nation in a day. I can't believe a 100+ years of work can be destroyed in one day for conflict over interest..Like a say: Management eat talent for breakfast and hard-work for dinner
I am using two phone , and one is NOKIA. ..... I just wanted to thanks NOKIA, for my first phone, and hoping for the best for NOKIA...ALL THE BEST NOKIA.👍
This month, I broke my Windows phone and I didn't want to buy another one, so I looked through my old boxes, and there it was... Nokia 6610, 14 years old. Still works like a clock. Oh, the glory days...
If you want to know why Nokia failed, this is why. Maybe they should've brought me on as a consultant. Nokia failed to realize that humans love computers and a phone is essentially a tiny computer in your pocket. Now the size changes sure, but not the fact that it's a computer. What does a computer need to run and actually live...... Have you got the answer? It's an operating system (OS). Now Nokia basically saw what Apple released in 2007 and for the next coming years tried repeatedly on failed releases and trash design, because they had multiple internal teams competing against one another and trying to essentially write an entire fuckin operating system. They failed to realize what it takes to write a fuckin operating system from the ground up. And they sure as shit came to find out. Apple had the head start because it had the perfect Unix based OS fully fleshed out and built efficiently and just needed to build hardware to read the instructions and run its shit which is already easy with Linux. Nokia came to that realization too late.
Sad sad sad. My very first phone was given to me from my father. It was the Nokia 2110. That phone was something special to me. Then I had 1 iphone and i will say, never again an iphone will i hold. If Nokia ever manages to become great again, i would strongly consider buying one. Terrible how they went down. How could so professional people be so incompetent...

![Nokia | The Rise And Fall [Part 2]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/RQEn19symz0/mqdefault.jpg)
Here's a crazy story that happened not too long ago:
About 3 years ago I've upgraded from my old 3310 to an Android smartphone because I needed extra functions for work that I couldn't get on the Nokia and I didn't want to carry 5 different devices all the time. So, I got an Android and sold my Nokia. I was very happy with my Android and still am, but I missed my Nokia that went through so much with me over the decade I owned it. So, I decided to go on Amazon and buy another one because when going abroad or on holiday I didn't want to bring a phone I use for work just in case I broke it, I lost it or it got stolen. So last week I've ordered a used 3310 and it came in a couple days later. It was all fine, I took out the battery to put a new SIM in so its ready to go, and I noticed something strange. When I bought my Nokia 13 years ago, I wrote my name and a spare number in permanent ink underneath the battery slot on the phone, in case I lost it. When I took the battery out, I noticed my name and my old number written on the phone! I bought my old Nokia by accident!
So I've got it again, and I'll never sell it. I love it to bits.
+DJ Shuffle That's incredible. The odds of rebuying the exact same phone you sold 3 years ago are astronomical. Even if it was sold locally the odds of that happening are really long. It's like that old saying if you love something set it free and if it comes back to you it was meant to be.
+DJ Shuffle What a lovely story Its shows why old is gold :)
WoW....!! 😱
great
+DJ Shuffle Another point of view (more pessimist) is that in three years time nobody but you had had interest in this model....
By the end of the video I felt quite emotional with the way such a great company went down... We the 90's kids all had them as our first mobile phone... And we will never forget the joy of holding them for the first time, and owning a mobile phone. 👏🏼
totally agree !
Yeah Bro totally agree with dat feeling is awesome 😙😙
My first mobile.. the 3310.
so true man :( my last nokia phone was C7. a truly great phone with excellent battery life and speed. going to miss nokia
agree
The app store is the main reason why Nokia and Blackberry fell. It allowed a phone, for the first time, to become extensible. The same reason why the Windows phone failed to compete in the market.
agree
yes install dozens of those shitty apps on your android phone and it will lag like a hell even with an sd820 and 4 gigs of ram. Android is a piece of crap
+Denis Sabljarić I use a Windows Phone myself and I love it to bits, have been doing so since Windows Mobile 6.1 on my HTC Touch HD all the way up to Win10 Mobile on my Lumia 830. I still love the clean and minimalistic aesthetic the OS has, plus the live tiles are a feature that I think really integrates notifications very well in a well-design UI ^^
However we cannot deny the fact that it has issues, the app gap being one of them. Lag on Android only exists in the more budget orientated devices. Even the Chinese flagship phones with heavy skins such as the Huawei P9 and Mate 9 are able to run perfectly fine, the same goes with the stock-Android-equipped Nexus and Pixel line-up, the near stock HTC 10, the feature packed powerhouse of a phone we know as the LG V20, and hundreds of not thousands more.
Even if it does lag, saying that apps are the issue is just avoiding the problem of not being able to attract developers onto the platform. If it really does lag Android phones, why doesn't Microsoft make a phone that has apps AND doesn't slow down? That would've been a perfect opportunity to take over the smartphone industry. If Apple can have a lot of new apps and still run faster than anyone else on their A10 chip, then I'm sure the combined forces of Microsoft and Nokia can conjure something up that'll shake up the industry.
The fact is my Lumia 830 has never gotten an update where at least one thing isn't broken. The fact is the 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 810 equipped Lumia 950 XL crashes when running Continuum, as I've experienced first hand when promoting the phone to my father, as well as from other people's experience with owning the device. Sure, there are people who are alright with the device, but that doesn't make the complaints of disappointed owners any less valid.The fact is Microsoft focuses more on their Windows 10 PC operating system than their smartphones counterparts.
I really want Windows 10 Mobile to succeed because it genuinely has good features, but it becomes harder to wish for that everyday when more manufacturers jump on Android and release stellar hardware with every subsequent device and Microsoft is left with only a select number of OEMs. It becomes harder to hope for an OS that gets buggier with each update when both Android and iOS are getting a lot better at making sure their phones can run really well.
Plus, it's not just apps, but support from various other things as well. Phone case makers, service centers, custom programs for operating systems, carrier-tied deals, people have a tendency to go for iOS and Android instead of Windows simply because that's where all the money is, and I don't blame them. You take advantage of the more popular market, there's a higher chance of getting money there instead of investing in a userbase that makes only around 1% of the world's smartphone users.
What I'm saying is, you can use and appreciate Windows, but we cannot deny that the OS right now is facing issues. Even Nokia right now under HMD Global (which is made up Nokia's older, more experienced workforce that Microsoft sacked for some reason) is running the latest Android 7.0 Nougat, and as a result it's become a huge success in China. Just one flash sale alone and they've got over a million bookings for the device and they've had to restock their inventory as they had run out of devices to give out to buyers.
Say what you will about Android and iOS, but they're more popular than Windows Phone and their OS (plus the devices they're on) are getting better constantly. If Windows Phone wants to get even with them, then Microsoft needs to address a number of issues with the OS, rather than just be in denial and having the fanbase attack non-Windows users. Like I said, I love my Lumia, and I'm keeping it for bug testing, because there are problems with it and someone needs to tell Microsoft that rather than just treat it as if there's no troubles whatsoever. Progress can only come when you admit your mistakes and build on it.
Anyways, sorry for the long essay of sorts. If I sound angry or offensive, then my apologies ^^" I didn't mean to sound that way, I just want to let you know that I'm doing what I can for Windows 10, and the only way I can do that is by accepting the faults we have and building on them
my lumia 520 was slowed down after a year and a half, just like my flagship lg g3. The only problem is that g3 was 3x more expensive than this lumia. And i don't need too much apps. Yes android can be good for a year or two with flagship devices, but they cost almost like a year or two old iphone models (6, 6s) and ios is much better. I will see now, this year i will buy some device probably redmi 4 and if it also lags after dozens of android devices i had - well than its done. If the win phone is dead next year i will go for an iphone , no matter the price, my head is full of this crappy android.
On my g3 marshmallow worked like shit compared with lolipop. It needs at least 1,8 GB of RAM ??!!
Android expensive devices slow down in a year or two just like win phone, but most of the windows phone devices (650, 640, 640xl, 550, 535, 532...) are 3-4 x cheaper than some huawei honor 8 or one plus 3
i think i will get now some windows phone like lumia 550 and than see this years what happens with win mobile 10. If its still alive at the end of the year i will buy surface phone. Otherwise - iphone. No more android, flagships are too expensive and far behind iphone, midrangers and entry level are crap
You deserve a bigger audience. Your channel is very entertaining and educational it blows my mind.
Cheers man! Hopefully a few people get a wind of the channel this year :)
I got my parents, grandparents and 11 year old brother to watch your vids. Your content is higher quality than what airs on television. Hopefully more people will see your quality content.
ColdfusTion They will man, that's how I got to know about it and I love it now
Good news, The Verge just showed some interest in collaborating, I'll keep you posted :)
ColdfusTion That's awesome.
I've gotten so many notifications for this comment, hah
one of the best and most stylished tech documentary :) truly amazing and very informational !
Nokia have to long sleep with good smartphones.....
Nokia would have survived if they would have gone with Android instead of Microsoft :/
Nabil Isham True that...
Nabil Isham I do agree but you have to remember back then android was a choppy and unreliable is back then. plus using it would eliminate Nokia's exclusivity in terms of OS's.
Nabil Isham They are back
No they wouldn't. Making Android phones is about speed of innovation and low cost of manufacture, not Nokia's strong points. Nokia would only have survived if they had beaten Android to market with a viable alternative OS and App Store to compete with Apple. Nokia can't work with other peoples OS.
True. I was never a fan of android (still not) and I was A die hard Nokia fan until I couldn’t take it anymore. Even if android wasn’t as great around that time as it is now, it was a way better experience than I had on my last Nokia. And it was light years behind iOS user experience. Solely as UI experience. I still own my last 2 Nokia phones, the Nokia N8 and the Nokia N900. Symbian and Maemo5.
And the experience was sooo much better on Maemo 5!! First error was not going for that one. If they had launched the Maemo way sooner on most Nokia phones when they still had big share of the market, it would bring attention from app developers which equals to comercial success. Plus one thing mAemo did really good was full webpages. It came with 32gb internal + external storage and some very decent stereo speakers.
Nokia N8 was a beast of a phone when it comes to versatility! HDMI out with 5.1 support, you could plug a keyboard, an usb pen, external disk, etc etc. plus it could be charged over mini usb (micro? Not sure now) or via that proprietary Nokia thin charger everyone had at the time. And it had some AR apps that were pretty cool. And to control it remotely you could use PS3 and Nintendo WII controllers.
But that Symbian experience... huh it was terrible. It made me so frustrated many times. Typing experience was terrible with a full QWERTY keyboard. It was a lot better with T9, and that’s why Symbian^3, Anna and all versions of Symbian were never more than just the old Symbian adapted to a touch screen. And of course that would never work as good as the 2 other OS made from the group up to a touch interface. If they only had gone for the Maemo5 and later it’s evolution Meego way sooner. (check on TH-cam a Nokia n9 review and see how awesome meego was and it could be over time).
Possibly, there’s a chance, Android wouldn’t catch on as it did. And possibly, there is a slight chance, today we wouldnt even know about android. I know today this is too crazy to consider and think about, but ya know it’s just like we learn from these videos. One bad or good decision can affect the whole future.
And yes, being that they had this issue with the 2 software divisions, and said no to android when it was obviously a success already, it was the final nail. Microsoft or no Microsoft that’s just history that wouldn’t and didn’t change the outcome.
The final episode in the Rise & Fall of Nokia series and it's a screamer! I don't think I've seen anything like it on TH-cam.
Feel free to share this one :)

Lazarus Solsong The N1 tablet seems like a great little spark of innovation from Nokia but it'll ultimately be up to the sales figures to see where the company ends up. I truly hope the tablet does well.
m.gsmarena.com/n1s_impressive_run_continues_sold_out_in_minutes_again-news-10773.php
Great video.
Really makes you wander about big companies like Apple, hmmmm. Who will be next?
Elop is disgusting and killed Nokia. It was still salvageable. If only they followed UNIX os prototypes. They were great. I will still keep my Nokia devices as momentos of a reign of a past king, and a damn good king at that too.
I still have my hopes as only the mobility division is sold out and not the creative minds. The N1 TAB seems promising too | www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n1-6814.php
Well, Nokia still lives on but it doesn't make smartphones anymore. The network part still lives on and bought Alcatel-Lucent recently.
Still, I almost shed a tear. Nokia phones were the best when the mobile boom began. Since 1995 up until 2007 Nokia was the go-to default mobile phone. My first phone was Nokia and I still have it and it still works.
Nokia phones always survive falls. What are you talking about?
not anymore.
Their N-series, E-series & xpressmusic might be the groundbreaking.. But now seem it buried underground... Its samsung n apple domination.. Even blackberry... Fallen that hard to rise again...
Hilmi Nudin
Even those will fall sometime, maybe not soon
Tuna
I think, when this world goes to shit and everyone dies. An Alien race will one day visit this lifeless planet and they will find a Nokia phone under all that ruble with 50% battery left. Nokia is one of the most indestructible phones I have ever used.
+tk eifjiwdfs haha. true
my sister is still using my N8 which I gave to her like 2 years ago
and it will be a 3310
+Joe Kurdish i still use my N8, even now it has 16GB intern memory, Micro Sd slot, HDMI, 12MP Camera, the software speed is ok, the design of the software and the phone is good i go to work with it i dropped it at least a 100 times it still works and it cost me way less than any other smartphone, it is simply all i ask for, if they just built on that i would hammer down nails with it right thru every f8cking bullshit apple device i see. i guess samsung is ok too.
DeathMetal242 ur n8 is way better than any samsung
The lumia phones were actually quite good! apart from the apps of course!
My friend had a lumia that had better touch response, better camera, ran smoother and was cheaper than my htc one x but mine had more apps!! He said he regret buying it because of that!!
0:20 nostalgic feelings all around. I miss you buddy, really I miss you from the bottom of my heart.
Symbian had capability to load tabs in the background. And that was many many years ago.
I don't understand why to this date Android and iOS with ridiculous amounts of ram don't do that.
Dude 😥 unfortunately you're right. You reminded me of my e series and N95
+clsman89 uhhh most iso devices only have 1gb of ram.. Android phones, on the other hand, have a lot of ram.
+MrBillionaire360 Yep they have 3gb of ram.
BledarMartinaj what only has 3gb of ram? I think the new iPhone has 3gb.
nope the new iphone only has 1gb (im talking about iphone 6 not 6+ or 6s).
Nokia (n73 music edition) was my first phone.. It's like the foundation of what I know about smartphones today. Even though I use S7 now, no phones could ever replace Nokia in my heart.
Those 3.2 Megapixels were pretty good
AN225brando they were. photos are pretty sharp and clear.
Go back to nokia 😭
I only got my first phone when i was 15 last year and has never owned a nokia, but my parents have and playing with their phones were one of the highlights of my youth, especially the xpress music phones which was the first smartphone similar to today's smartphone which i have touched.
While never actually owning a nokia phone, seeing their new phones and maybe owning one will be a nostalgic feeling for me, i think the same can be said for people around my age.
Amazing bro! I tweeted out to my followers with the link to part one and asked them to watch all 3 and subscribe! Good work my man.. You got fans here in New York.
Thanks Paullie! Stoked that you got a kick out of the series :)
ColdfusTion You got fans here in Ukraine as well :)
ColdfusTion In Vietnam, too! keep doing it man, knowledge is for everyone and I believe you will get a bigger audience eventually :)
ColdfusTion fans in Zambia
EASY
1: Started Touch-Mobile Phones too late
2: Agreed to only produce Windows Phones
Nils Lorand You don't understand Nokia well enough.
Paianni That's ok, because Nokia didn't understand the smartphone market well enough...
Nils Lorand not really, they just didn't catch up with the new generation, just like apple is not catching up with the new generation of consumers, maybe they succeeded with the "bit" older generation but they will fail with the new generation, people nowadays want to have control over their phones, the older one didn't care about that, just like the nokia users didn't care about having games or apps.
CP They had the top market share in smartphones for years! And you can't really address Nokia as a whole because, as explained in the video, their software developers were tragically divided.
Nils Lorand Your profile picture sais enough for me to believe you.
i spent my childhood with nokia, it has place in my heart.i hope it do good and come out with its own OS
I wish Nokia would make a comeback...
I have always wanted a Nokia device but Windows app store is always lacking. Imo I do think elop is guilty.
Surely App store does Lack but once you do get Onboard i Guarantee you wouldn't Trade a Lumia for another OS even if you do u will miss it for Sure.Small details do make me Love my Lumia 920 the only thing i did get Mad on NOKIA is their bad decision of releasing senseless phones Low end phones don't make a sense at all the low end & the mid end shared the same Processor & ram and Stupid specs even L920 released in 2012 doesn't has a True Upgrade till now.
Puru Khilari lol traded it for M8. Windows just can keep up with my pace xD
Helmi Farhan Haha anyways you'd maybe get to use windows 10 on your M8 also microsoft is desperately working on dual os booting and will make it official some day.As of now dual booting is being tested on Xiomi Mi3.
*can't
Jeremy Nokia has made the N1, it's an Android device. Once it gets Google Play and is released in the West, I hope we see a lot more mid- and high-spec Android phones from Nokia in the coming years. It's their only hope.
This video makes me wanna cry.. =(
Amos Wong Same,,,, I lashed out at anyone who would bad mouth Nokia back in the day even when Samsung was raising.lol
Amos Wong It makes me wanna kill that Elop fucktard!
Eviltech +1
Same! My first phone was Nokia! I jus loved it, it had a great design and software but sadly it's all gone now maybe after my studies I will become the manager of Nokia! Yea I will jus remember me
Firelord_Iroh You certainly have the name for it!
Out of all you videos that I’ve seen this is by far the saddest one. I grew up loving Nokia and I still have one of my Nokia phone even though it is basically outdated. Big have to watch for innovation, progress and what is current or else they are going to fall behind. I almost cried at the end... hey bro, this channel is very informative. I watch your videos everyday since I found this channel.
Man I have been following your videos. And I'm so happy to see my illustration in the video. 1:06 :) That's from my video How Touchscreen Works.
That's amazing, I was checking out your channel just the other day. Great stuff!
I'm also adding you to the video description so that people can find your video :)
ColdfusTion Great. Thanks for adding a link. :]
I always wanted to know how such a great company can fall. Thanks for putting it together so nicely.
btw, my first phone was Nokia 3110c ;)
He puts your contents without you permission ?
milk Boy ikr, and he didn't even give credit before he indirectly mentions it
Hey that's okay. He makes awesome videos. :]
What's with the wolf at 5:12? Turn the speed down to 0.25 and pause/play till you see it.
AWsomekitteh I saw it too! By the way, how do you turn down the playback speed mate?
easter egg LOL
Elop was the wolf LOL
Lego Brick acute foreshadowing ,mate.
One of the very few channels on the TH-cam that'll never disappoint you... Amazing video
First of all let me congratulate you for this series. I thing they're your best so far and the subject is indeed very interesting for most phone lovers.
Now, as for Nokia, it's the classical story of an empire rising and falling because of their own decisions and internal power struggles.
Arrogance and meaningless inside politics also took down the Roman empire.
As you build an empire and become the standard of excellence for so long you often see organizations slow down. They don't innovate anymore as they already are so powerful and rich that they feel like they can literally own the entire world.
It's true. They can do it. Well, until something special come along.
The first problem of Nokia was the failure in accepting that the Iphone and his concept had change the world of mobile phones just like that. It took one presentation to end Nokia's reign.
Everyone new that. Nokia knew it because the consumers knew it immediately. Who cares about 3g and what the Iphone couldn't do. The revolutionary concept gave people everything. A phone, a music player, an internet device, a GPS, a picture display and endless apps.
At that point Nokia's arrogance was the nail in the coffin. They tried to keep their stupid OS that looked primitive to everyone. They had one chance: JUMP TO ANDROID. As they failed to accept reality and the old internal politic questions never were to be solved, it was just a matter of time until the sale of the company.
Nokia could have been saved at any moment. It didn't need to be sold if they had accepted Android. What's the point to use Microsoft OS when everyone knew that it had a liability very similar to Nokia's OS: The useless App store.
To me it's clear that when they decided to use Microsoft as the OS for Nokia devices, it was already set in stone that the end was near for Nokia as a brand.
Resuming, it all comes down to old fat people failing to realize an abrupt change and disrespecting customers by thinking these would never leave them... Even when something huge had just happened.
And even after having had the chance to humble themselves and jump to android, they chose to fight internally for no reason. Then, they sold themselves to Microsoft.
A story very common to companies across the world.
Morale of the story? Never sleep on passed glories and always be humble enough to accept and recognize they need to change!
Amen brother amen i 100 agree with all you said!! I remember having the nokia n8 and and every body was on blackberry ping. I felt left out than iphone came with the whatsapp. I felt left out again. Because Nokia did not have it yet a full year had oassed before whatsapp had come to Nokia users. By that time i was fed up with nokia and allways finishing last. So when the samsung note came i jumped ship. I got tired of allways complaining at nokia. If a company is not giving you what you want, leave them alone! And thats what i did and i think alot of people did the same.
i dont agree that android could have saved Nokia
Windows Phone was actually more advanced but poor apps selection and software was locked down which brought down Wp7
WP will prove itself in 2015 guarenteed
if there was an alternative to WP which Nokia should have taken,it should have been Meego which was miles ahead of symbian,ios,android and wp7 at the time
CITYGROUPTV
Exactly. The company needs to conform to the consumer.
Nokia, at the time, was so arrogant in believing their consumers would never leave them, that they started believing the opposite to the above statement. They started believing that the consumer needed to conform to them. And, of course, that's what lead to the downfall, seeing as everybody was flocking to Apple and Samsung for their innovation at the time.
Goran Đukić Yeah people blame Windows and say it should have been android wereas it was not why Nokia lost out on marketshare
Nokia was basically playing catch and not deciding which OS they wanted for the future
They created Maemo,Symbian ^3(Anna and Belle) , Meego and WP7 phones all around the same time but there were rumours about each
One day,they would said they would go Maemo,another time they said Meego,another time they would say the new updated Symbian ^3,another time they would say WP7
People,especially the corporate crowd decided they couldnt wait anymore and moved towards Blackberry and iPhones because they were more consistent at the time
Samsung was in a criss at the time and werent popular then...
Only iPhones and Blackberrys had marketshare
Once Android 2.3 and 3.0(for tablets only) released,Samsung slowly gained momentum because Google and samsung copied Apple designs etc(not taking sides here but its a fact,just see the early samsung droids)
By then HTC,Moto etc all were losing badly with older symbian and Windows Mobile 6.5 phones and decided to go android because Google took over and there wasnt any other OS left to go to,Symbian had been dead(even the newer ^3 which was dead as WP7 got an exclusivity deal and by then developers flocked to Blackberry and ios and much later,android),Meego and Maemo were killed off as well but a bunch of ex-Nokia employees created Jolla which now has android support
Jolla is literally what would have happened if Nokia went android(same familiar Nokia designs by some of the creators themselves)
We dont see Jolla making waves either do we
HP created Web OS and killed it off just as it gained momentum and could topple android and embraced android
HP didnt regain its status with Android did it?infact it was more popular during the web os days
Blackberry also bought QNX and created their own OS - BB10(formely QNX on the Playbook) which had android runtimes
infact it does stuff alot better than android itself and runs non-google play apps even better than android itself
They still didnt gain momentum did they?
My point being people should wake up and realize Android doesnt make or break a company
Sure it could be a shortcut but its very rare to see any company do well just because of android running on its products
Nokia should have updated symbians kernel,continued Meego or Microsoft should never have changed the kernel with each update- Wp7,wp8,wp8.1,windows 10
thus leaving WP7 users in the dark without an update
It has nothing to do with android

holy cow, all this time and I finally got to see your face. Thanks for all the chill learning sessions man! great videos as always!
Peeing in your pants for warmth XD I'm so using that.
lol
I remember back in school, one of our teachers always used that to describe loans and other stuff that'll come back and bite you.
good one!
It is really sad that Nokia as a brand is no more. I was a really big Nokia loyalist until it stopped making good phones. My last Nokia phone was a C-7 Astound.
+Hitaish Nagaraj it never stopped making good phones
their phones were always good
even the Microsoft ones are amazing
beats any lagdroid any day
IEWestSide tell that to your shit
+IEWestSide I always had Nokia Phones. The old Nokia 5110 was the first one. I also bought Nokia N8, Nokia Lumia 820, Nokia Lumia 930 and I also bought Microsoft Lumia 950 XL. I had other Nokia phones in Between but the only 2 phones that I had that weren't Nokia and Microsoft were the Sony Ericson 610 and also another mobile in Chile in 2004 that was made for a Spanish Company called Movistar that bought under the company Telefonica the Chilean telephone company CTC (Compañia de Telecomunicaciones de Chile). The reason why I like windows phones is because they can synchronise with Windows 10. All of my photos, outlook people's number to call and messages can be seen on the Outlook on the internet and when I connect my windows 10 software on the internet. Because my Nokia Lumia 930 I believe had a virus because it started to play funny that I bought the Microsoft Lumia 950 XL and you can even put 200 GB of a Micro SD memory card too. It' the best Smartphone I have ever owned. Thanks.
IEWestSide LOL you mad bro
I love Nokia too
One of its biggest mistakes was rejecting Android as a viable OS, yes they would have to use Android like so many others but in my opinion its was far better than the alternative they chose.
Also one thing I really didn't like about what Nokia did during this period was reusing the series 40 OS on their Asha range of phones and suggesting they were smartphones when they weren't.
in India we are still waiting for Nokia to come back with a big boom like all flagship features in a low price.
If Nokia can I think they can win the Indian market again because we trust Nokia for their durable phones
I don't know about that man. You might want to start looking other options.
Sagnik Bhattacharya yes I feel nostalgic about Nokia, but I don't think they can be the same that they were before, again!
They are coming back in 2017!!
I don't trust them anymore. My last Nokia was nowhere near the Nokia I had come to love & trust. Add to that, the way they treated me when I wanted it resolved. For me, Nokia will have to do way more to get me to trust them again.
To people who claim it was because they didn't go with Android. Please do explain how Sony Ericsson /Sony fell just as bad with Android. Nokia in fact did way better by going with Windows Phone. The problem Nokia had was getting too late into the game.
why ofcourse, lets all make Microsoft the scapegoat. There obviously couldn't have been any other reason behind Elop getting a raise. Infact anyone who gets a Raise must've done something wrong. In the end, Nokia fell because of Google and Android fanboys that spread propaganda.
Kevin Varughese If you have a look at the sales figures of Xperia X10, Arc S, or Xperia S it's nowhere near failure.
The Xperia line up was a success until Sony came up with the Z series design and kept recycling it. The supposedly premium Sony mobiles started deteriorating in terms of quality For eg. The Xperia Z , Z1 displays are nowhere near as good (contrast and deep blacks) as the competition (or even older bravia angel one's in Xperia ion or the Arc S are way better)
Sony fell because they charged premium for a smartphone which was not keeping up with competition.
Kevin Varughese I agrre with co0lG, I guess that Nokia had to problems:
-That it was getting too late into the new era
-They used Windows for phones
Sony was doing really, really, really well with Android, but what happened? I remembered that they started to increase the cost of their phones like if they were selling iPhones, so people went for other companies. I remembered that Samsung was a good and cheaper option, so it started to win to Sony until it kill Sony.
So, I guess that if Nokia had selected Android and if they had made good quality (like they did) phones and cheap ones, they could have won or at least being competing with other android companies.
+Kevin Varughese but unlike sony ericsson nokia had that brand appeal world wide and rock solid devices so in my opinion going with android would have made a difference
and also motorola
I did used Nokia xpressmusic series....they were good
I remember Nokia Xpress music my dad throwed it to the wall and break it while i was enjoying porn instead of preparing for exams.👍
If Nokia had work with android ,i guess Nokia will still exist !!!
they underestimated Android, and Apple took advantage of that
prakash chandi thats right
Not they Stephen Elop did.
prakash chandi it will. but it will not rise in their own feet. because it's now own by Microsoft. Nokia itself is gone
Mr. MCPE former Nokia Is gone, but there's a company who owns license to release Nokia phone for 10 years. Nokia would be back with medium range Android.
I have been Nokia user for a long time. I particularly like that phone because of its reliability and roughness. But the main problem was App store. You cant find any apps in nokia app store. On the other hand, android has very rich app store and everything is available at free of cost. If Nokia had provided Android than it could have been a come back. But they didnt realize the opportunity. Sad. One big company just ended up like this.
I think what happened was that nokia was too big for its own good.
Chadresh Patel With the Windows 10 update, developers will be able to copy and past their code from the Apple and Google app stores into the Windows Dev tool which will now work on the Windows App Store! Cannot wait!
I also like the fact that after the release of Windows 10, all the updates will come right from Microsoft, not the cell phone providers, which means no more waiting for updates for 6+ months.
It tripped on some banana skin. BA DUM TSH
+Volkswagen1990 Bruh
+ColdFusion Holy shit you still read comments of these old videos
+Volkswagen1990 Yeah and it was Bill Gates who ate the banana.
***** Haha good one.
+Volkswagen1990 Incredible! I have a phone from a company( a Nokia C1) that does'nt exist anymore, I did'nt know Nokia went under.
If only they chose android
What about the wolf at 5:12 ?
It was too fast for me. But I noticed that too!
Wolf was the CEO who destroyed nokia I guess
lakmal759 yeap!
+lakmal759
rejecting android was thier bigggest mistake .
but they launched an android smartphone in asia back in 2012.
Not developing Symbian for years, and finally not putting all forces developing MeeGo were the biggest mistakes.
Did you look at MeeGo UI? Some features are not even today available with Android, such as the smart multitasking system.
It was hard to believe for me, they really broke Nokia on purpose, and the Finnland government just watched them doing that.
Nokia 3310. Best phone i've ever had.
You could drop it from high, and it did work again always.
Fred Schriks From car roof moving 80km/h to rocks.... battery cover came off.
Dropped it accidentally in work place while building concrete floor and next day i had to jack hammer it out from inside the floor... and redo the floor in that part. Still worked like new, thought it needed decent wash from hose to get battery cover open.
Nokia phones were indestructible that time, now i would not touch "nokia" phone cause its made by Microsoft and would brake if you breathe towards it.
Hellsong89 Microsoft phones suck. I had a Samsung Omnia long time ago. That also had Microsoft's program on it. That's sucks balls.
I want to go back in time and get a 3310 again.
Fred Schriks Actually you should be able to, thought i liked my flip flop model more..issue with it was that, it didnt work so well when talking to buddys with more modern phones.
dimapez "few things not even conscripts can destroy"
Now that is *indestructible!!* What was it? A solid armor plate?! :D
+Fred Schriks the first ever mobile phone of mine was a nokia 5300 ..it worked smoothly for atleast 5 long years.. i still miss that handset
I never knew that such videos could even give you goosebumps. I love you Coldfusion. Cheers for your success !!
what i understood by this video is the Nokia's CEO and quarrel in the management is the big reason for fall of nokia
Probably if they were like Steve Jobs, which steers the company's direction in one way, the only way that Steve wants it to be..that is to develop and market a full touchscreen internet enabled phone that have a huge market share that will eventually attracts huge app developer base to develop apps for its app store, then Nokia will still thrive. It is because Nokia does not have a clear direction from its CEO or top management, sets up 2 teams to compete with each other which led to internal conflicts, not focus on one and only goal like Apple or maybe just not flexible enough to adapt to changes in the market like how they did not want to tie with Android, still maintaining their old principle of being unique with their own Symbian/meego OS even using Microsoft OS instead the majority Android all these led to Nokia 's fall.
Windows phone OS is the best OS in terms of functionality, my parents use it and they love it, yet here I am with my galaxy s6 cause of the apps and the customizibility (custom roms etc.). Once the 18 month ban for nokia ends, I am 100% sure the nokia smartphone they release running android will be a hit, people love nokia, but they need to ensure its as reliable as the older nokias, I mean Lumia 920 to this day is a beautiful beastly phone.
+Olterior Anything running android fails because of low profit.
+James Dean LOL. Funny how huge and rich Samsung Mobile is... and LG Mobile. And Acer Mobile. And Motorola. Shall I go on? On about how much better a phone the Nexus 6P is over any iPhone ever made?
+Netr@nger Samsung sold nearly twice as many phones as Apple 2015
+Jonas Ryder Fanboys gonna fan.
+Aurelius R I was thinking WTF did he turn bipolar in the middle of that comment!!
I really like “ColdFusion” videos (the guy really explains everything short,sharp,sweet) I’ve learnt more than I thought I would
i almost cried at the end i swear i mean my first two phones were nokia express music, and nokia n8 :'( rip nokia
R.I.P Nokia, my first phone was Nokia, RIP for Philip Phone, Ericsson phone, Sony phone, Toshiba phone.. now days it's Samsung, Apple, Google, and LG, along with Chinese phones. Cheap China phones will eventually kill Samsung, LG and Apple etc.. we all be using Chinese phones.
+dutch toiletpaper moto is also under Lenovo(Chinese company)
In fact, all the phones are made in China. Even Iphone, android phones, and window phones. Welcome to Made in China era.
+James Chung I just checked my Nokia Asha 503. Cell made in Korea, further developed in China. XD.
+James Chung even you was made in china
+vimublue From Korea actually. And your trolling fails since your grammar is so poor.
Awesome 3 part series. Thanks. Loved it.
Nokia remains the best maker of all time for me 😞👍
booblue mine too
I do feel so sad that Nokia ended just like that. :(
i also feel bad for it sarah
I hope Nokia will rise again
Cold fusion......... One of the best channels on TH-cam 😍
How many of you cried at the end? i cried
me :(
Me
me too...i just love nokia..
what is there in crying lol men do not cry. there are people losing their lives all over the world. we cannot help it we can just move on
+Nabil Isham If you do not cry, its okay. Who told you "men do not cry"? It is a human emotion and there is no sex difference in crying. Don't be a stereotype.
i feel so bad for nokia.
the company should be revived.
Nokia is still living in the heart of many people, it will require a few good performing devices for Nokia to make a comeback. An another interesting video from ColdFusion tv, thanks for all the information.
Windows Phone. Where Instagram has been only in beta version for years...
+Andrew Versaw yea its "is coming back" , not even "soon", cause windows 10 mobile is also so far to "soon"
+Anugerah Ardiansyah funny thing is even the beta apps work better than the android ones at times
Die Karotte
Karthik Naik yeah. i use android once i checked my friend's lumia phone. it has 512 MB of RAM and it runs as fast as android with 1GB of RAM
+Anugerah Ardiansyah They make better iPhone knockoffs than sammy though.
At least Nokia is back to start again with phones in 2017
Thanks Aussie dude for amazing story! My mom had a Nokia phone after I was born. I love your videos man! ❤🔥
bye bye nokia, you were the iPhone of my generation =)
Carlitox b mine too
Carlitox b well Nokia is back in action btw..
same
I think Blackberry is the iphone at that time and Nokia is the Android phone
I still use a Nokia, the Nokia N9. Meego Harmattan. Purchased five of them the moment Elop made his satanic presence felt, and I knew this good thing will not last long. I will always be a Nokia fanboy.
Wow, 5! Maybe you're the reason the N9 went out of stock so quickly. /s
I see the dedication you put in your video. Three parts man. The only video I ever saw of you. Fuck man. I'm tearing up.
I still have my Nokia 5800.. Though I don't use it now, no new phone ever gave me the feel that the 5800 gave when I bought it on it's release :)
why nokia didn't try Android?
because it has its own great OS like an IOS
Why would a company just up and abandon operating systems that it's already working on in favor of a 3rd party one? It did end up hurting them but there's no way they could have known that.
MOHAMMED ALTHAHABE Interesting question. Android is even free.
EGO
They considered it, but wanted to gamble instead. Nokia CEOs usually talked about "3rd ecosystem" - the one challenging apple os and android. With its own OS Nokia hoped to be more attractive, unique compared to multi-company android. Due to the app lack, the effect was sadly opposite.
Best Researcher EVER WoW keep up the good job !
Nokia killed by the Iphone, and iphone eventually will kill by Andriod.
Abass Ali Doubt that.
Abass Ali then Android will be killed by *Anonymous*...
Abass Ali nope..it kill by explosion
Abass Ali android will be killed by samsung note 4

+Mazga Adrian uh... The Wolf of Nokia?

Spoiler alert: Nokia's then CEO, Elop, was the Wolf

Just for kicks I guess
Awesome video!! One of the best...I personally used 3 Nokia devices before switching to Xiaomi. Everyone in my family has and is still using a Nokia device till date. Now with rumours of a Nokia device running on android hitting the web, I am eagerly waiting for it and how it fares. Honestly speaking, I would still like to use a Nokia device because of its durability and it's awesomeness.
My first phone was a Simens A55.
Simens left the mobile phone market shortly after it was introduced.
My second phone was a Nokia E52
When I got it, it became evident that SymbianOS was dead and the fall of Nokia started.
Last year I bougth my third phone: The Lumia 550 from Microsoft with Win 10 mobile
One of the first web articles I read on that phone was about how Win 10 mobile is going to be a total flop.
And It looks like that article was right.
I seem to have the power to destroy phone manufacturers.
Should I try the Iphone ?
Yes, go for it
You mean I should try to destroy Apple :D
I'm no Apple fan.
+Ente Fetz yes dude just do it
bro I think u are😂 ios 10 is a big fail and iPhone 7 doesn't include headphone jack
which phone are you using now? :D
I need to watch this entire series. But Nokia today? They're one of the biggest telecommunications companies in the world.
Offtop: you have the most beautiful and understandable English accent I´ve ever heard.
teh only reason behind their fall is that they invested in developing their own OS. They should've started making android phones. I mean who doesn't want an android phone with NOKIA's best in class build quality and durability
Omg. Am I the only one who thought it was a white guy speaking the whole time? Fuck. Anyways. Awesome video!!!
Same here
Same
I'm a black man and I approve this message, lol!
TheJustbored05 He is a really good speaker!
TheJustbored05 you should have been surprised if he were from Africa, which he is not
Certainly epic, thoughtful, insightful and brilliant.
why did a wolf appear at 5:12 ?
actually felt a lil sad watching this.. I've used the flagships N70, 73 and 95 during their respective glory eras and the feeling back then was priceless... Now everyone has a smartphone but back then it was a big deal to have high end phones haha
brother Your Vidz Are Awesome!!! Much Love From The Bay Area California Keep it ☝
Although the brand is gone (I probably own one of the last nokia branded lumia phones), the technology still lives on thanks to microsoft's takeover. I think the most important thing is that all the hard work nokia enegineers & designers did in the past isn't lost. The company needed to be restructured from the ground off, and that's exactely what Microsoft did. Windows phone combines nokia's exelent hardware with a fresh operating system. I'me excited for the future!
Wouter De Wolf sadly most people are simply kids or android fanboys who wont see the truth you posted
I look forward to Windows 10 as well
posting from my 2 year old lumia 720 which is a much better purchase than my laggy Nexus 5 and 7 running lollipop
Enough said Wouter De Wolf
true fanbois have spoken
^self proclaimed android fanboy
Karthik Naik You say that as a regular consumer, but think about the number of apps and the ease of development for Android. I am not a developer. I just use an Windows 8.1 device and although it is a tablet, I use it with bluetooth mouse and keyboard mostly in Desktop mode. The only Windows app that's usable is the mail app. Other than that they're all sluggish and when I return from desktop to an app it always needs to be reloaded. Sorry, but for now Android rules. I used to be a Windows fan back in the Windows Mobile 5 and 6.x times but since Windows Phone 7 appeared I went to 'droids. I hope that's gonna change with Windows 10 and the new "Universal" apps. I really miss the Windows times, but I don't think I'll ever go to a Windows 7.x/8.x anytime soon. Most likely I'll give 10 a shot.
today's generation will never know how cool nokia phones were. i really miss nokia
now a days you cant be one comapny's loyal customer.
The way you narrated! Amazing! I wish I had accent like you!!!
NOKIA should rise back from its ashes
HMD global
The OS sucks tho, It can't run Java apps.
"Maybe in some distant time..." "...they could come back."
*_NOW._*
You predicted the future. They are back!
@@felixm4977 excuse me?
Amazing Amazing Amazing !!!! You guys are doing something which i wondered 3-5 years back in my Post grad. days when i was undergoing a marketing management course. A place where we I can get complete short stories of corporate debacles and learning. If you make a website of your own and commercialise this idea into some marketing consultation stuff ... trust me you will have great success since you have already showcase the amount of knowledge you have from these videos.
I had an N800 and loved it. Maemo had its flaws but they could have been corrected; I'm not sure how the Meego derivative looked. I held off on a smartphone hoping the N900 would have a good release in the US but then it didn't, having limited data support on providers in my area. I got an original Droid later that year.
miss you Nokia. .don't worry history repeats..love u
a lot of research and hard work goes in for videos like this, loads of respect and thanks for this.
So if they peed their pants they would have been saved?
+RealiableCandy4 Yeeeeep
That's a great way to put it....
That's a great way to put it....
+RealiableCandy4 Yes ! Android could have saved Nokia..like it did to Samsung !!
+RealiableCandy4
No , Motorola did that and they failed , HTC ,LG ,Sharp ,Sony and Lenovo are all making loses on the smartphone market , actually the overwhelming majority of Android OEMs are losing money , in 2010/1011 if Nokia switched to Android it's logical to assume it would fail too.
I used to love Nokia and who didn't? But after 2010s the product quality degraded substantially. The product lineupw they offered looked outdated in comparison with the slimmer Samsungs and Htcs. Moreover, the software experience wasn't as great as the others. Which made people resent Nokia products. I think you can't blame Elop for everything, may be he ended the company but it was already undergoing turmoil and ruptures by itself. It was a smart move on his part as he got a huge bonus from it. Maybe he could've saved it from happening but it needed a vision which he didn't have.
The saddest part is that Nokia lost its main ideology and character in the battle to become the best, the reason why it became so successful. Nokia is credited for many of the world's firsts. It made mobile phone affordable for the general public by making the technology more efficient and cheaper. But it didn't evolve with time. The 1100s were better than their 1020s despite of being much more advanced. Nokia always worked for the lowest class of the population but it failed to offer the modern technology to their usual customers. But Google made it possible. Nokia was once like what Google is now. To target the masses your product has to be efficient and cheap like the Moto E, G, X, Nokia lost its way. The one company that showed what a mobile is to the world failed to evolve.
***** True! Apple was never a market leader in terms of volumes because of this very reason. But, it had the technology and ideas by which it has set benchmarks in the world of technology. By the early 2000s, Nokia had the volumes and the technology but by the fall of 2010, they had neither. The idea of technology has changed immensely in the last 5 decades. Google has turned-over the whole market theory by open sourcing everything; which is great for developers, and by making the technology affordable; which is great for the society as whole. This very idea made Nokia what it was!
Harsh Dhiman Not with the recent nexus 6 and 9 , Google is trying to get into high end market , they basically want everything
Yes, that's true
***** At this point, they may as well already have everything. If they don't, they will soon.
Exantrn They already dominated everything else, so they figured they would give the Apple way a shot.
I don't agree with it, but people seem to be content, so I don't think they're in any trouble.
My first phone was Nokia in early 2000, it was very nostalgic and sad to see the company phasing out, thanks for making such an amazing video, hats off to you bro....never thought I would be emotional for a company...
If only nokia used Android OS in its phones ,,,it would be in Samsung's phones position Now !
I would love to have a Nokia Galaxy....
so am I . loved to have an Android on a Nokia hardware
abdumka But didnt they release the Nokia X, XL, X+ and the X2?
+abdumka I just want to yell at the Nokia management on the first introduction of Android OS, "FORGET SYMBIAN!!! START USING ANDROID OS FOR ALL NOKIA's PHONE!!!"
Indeed. If they have brought the lumia tech and designs to android they could still be leading the mobile race and samsung still trailing behind.
Very interesting video. It has been said that the only thing you can be certain of is change.
Add death and taxes to that.
+Ilya Lomkov (FishGun2000) TRUTH

Someone's 3310 died it seems. Why do you hate Nokia so much? They were one of the greatest phone companies around.
AJ Darlin
Ngage made me Nrage. They will have to do alot to change the mindset of ppl like me who loved their phones but pissed off by sybrian OS and their arrogance.
The first phone i got to use was a 3310. i played snake for years with brothers and friends. No need for selfies and gram,it was quite good back then. my first shit was a Nokia C3...That's why i hate management and paper work people. They are always douche-bags who one day become even presidents to fuck up a whole nation in a day. I can't believe a 100+ years of work can be destroyed in one day for conflict over interest..Like a say: Management eat talent for breakfast and hard-work for dinner
Like Donald Trump.
Linus Kwan
No shit. that's true
You've made an amazing series. As a management student, i found this very useful :)
RIP Nokia. You had a good run.
This is by FAAR the saddest story I've ever heard
Lol i thought the narrator was a white guy in his early twenties.. I don't wanna come out as racist btw

Learnt a lot of new things from cold fusion and I will recommend it to everyone in this world 👍🏻 🌎
This month, I broke my Windows phone and I didn't want to buy another one, so I looked through my old boxes, and there it was... Nokia 6610, 14 years old. Still works like a clock. Oh, the glory days...

If you want to know why Nokia failed, this is why. Maybe they should've brought me on as a consultant. Nokia failed to realize that humans love computers and a phone is essentially a tiny computer in your pocket. Now the size changes sure, but not the fact that it's a computer. What does a computer need to run and actually live...... Have you got the answer? It's an operating system (OS). Now Nokia basically saw what Apple released in 2007 and for the next coming years tried repeatedly on failed releases and trash design, because they had multiple internal teams competing against one another and trying to essentially write an entire fuckin operating system. They failed to realize what it takes to write a fuckin operating system from the ground up. And they sure as shit came to find out. Apple had the head start because it had the perfect Unix based OS fully fleshed out and built efficiently and just needed to build hardware to read the instructions and run its shit which is already easy with Linux. Nokia came to that realization too late.
Sad sad sad. My very first phone was given to me from my father. It was the Nokia 2110. That phone was something special to me.
Then I had 1 iphone and i will say, never again an iphone will i hold.
If Nokia ever manages to become great again, i would strongly consider buying one. Terrible how they went down. How could so professional people be so incompetent...
They are making an Android Nougat smartphone.
