Nokia fights against still competition

IPhone, BlackBerry and Samsung Smartphone are leading the mobile market and Nokia is currently facing a stiff competition?

Smartphone the word itself tells everything. Let's get back to the past when the first telephone was invented. The invention of the first working phone was done by U.S inventor Mr. Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. He gave birth to fixed landline phones. Later there were many research carried out which gave another breakthrough in the form of wireless phone. But these phones were bulky and were difficult to carry along while travelling. With lots of efforts and modern technology as time passed the size and weight of the phones started reducing gradually.

Different companies like iPhone, BlackBerry and Samsung and Nokia came up with some extraordinary mobile phones that had almost all features. This was the time when people thought that mobile phone couldn’t get better than this. They developed a series of smart phones which took mobile phones to a next level. The concept of Smartphones application came into demand. These Apps provided some extra features that one would really admire it. These Apps were included calendar, clock, alarm, address book, email, notepad, games and send and receive text messages. This concept was taken further and varieties of application were created. To make the application work properly there were drastic change in phone hardware which allowed high end applications to work with the Smartphone. The first Smartphone was launched by Ericssion that actually had the features of Smartphones.

Later Nokia came up with an N - series Smartphone which were also called multimedia computers. Nokia had the edge of Symbian OS which made the company famous. But this was for a short period of time as Symbian OS had many limitations in matter of graphics and hardware support. Meanwhile a new OS called Android was released in the market. It was the first OS Smartphone OS to use Apps in the same year. This gave Nokia a tough competition. Later Android, declared as open source by Google was the main advantage of its rapid development. But this was not yet over, as another company Apple introduces its app store in the market. With this release Nokia was just thrown out of the competition as it had limited resources with limitation of Symbian technology. This app store had become world famous as it offered more than 100,000 Apps with millions of downloads.

 Other companies like BlackBerry with its unique highly secured feature known as is Rim service was introduced in the market. This totally changed the market scenario. One could predict that Nokia was no more in competition with other Smartphone players. This was the biggest setback for a Nokia company as they had lost hold on the market and was out of competition. To give tough competition and to remain in the race, Nokia shook hands with Microsoft. They decided to launch windows phones. But unfortunately this has not proven to be successful for Nokia Company, as people have totally diverted towards full featured phones like iPhone, Samsung and BlackBerry. At least for now one cannot predict appraisal of Nokia Company for a couple of years unless they come up with something more advance that attracts users. As after all we can say customers are god what they like is said to be the best.
