Nokia has not had the greatest last couple of years. Their smart phones have consistently failed in a market dominated by companies such as Apple and HTC and their sales have taken a hit because of this. Remarkably though, the Finnish electronics firm are still the world’s biggest selling mobile phone company and outsold their nearest rivals Samsung in the last half of 2010 by 10% of the world market share. This is frightening stuff for Nokia’s rivals as it just means that the company has more time to create the ultimate smart phone as their entry level phones continue to sell in the millions.
This will not last forever though and Nokia has put in place plans for a change in their reputation when it comes to smart phones and the first sign that this plan is being put into place was the release last year of Nokia’s latest high end smart phone the Nokia N8.
