NOKIA: Beginning Of The End Of An ERA!

Some time back I wrote about Nokia CEO Stephen Elop's inspirational letter to NOKIA employees. I also mentioned that I am a Nokia Loyalist but can't hold on Nokia until it does something cool in smartphone industry. Then came a shocker "Nokia tied up with Windows Phone 7".

Nokia must have got billions of Dollars from Microsoft for this marriage between Nokia and Microsoft as dowry. I even saw the Mango Sea Ray Preview of Nokia phone and was slightly disappointed. Then my wife lost her mobile and then came the turning point.

I took her to our Mobile Store from where I have taken almost every mobile I bought. My wife was a Nokia fan and was annoyed when I recommended her to buy Samsung Monte. To my surprise she said her new phone will be Samsung (how customers change loyalties).

Then we looked at Samsung Galaxy S 9003. Then the Sales guy showed me LG Optimus P790. Spec wise and UI experience wise I loved the LG, but was confused about the after sales service. He told Samsung, LG both are having same reputation (I guess he meant equally bad not sure).

Then casually I asked How are Nokia phones selling? He gave me a sympathy look and said they have stopped selling them (smartphones). He added "Only Android Phones are sold now a days in his store". A feeling a sadness creped in me as if some close relative must have died.
