Nokia, with a market share of 38 per cent of the world market is never really their presence in the world's two largest countries, America and Japan. We can guess why, but the main reasons for the lack of support from service providers and products that are exactly what consumers in this market, not looking at specific moments in time.
It is obvious that Nokia innovator in the industry, its Series 40 operating system, the Europeans and many Asians as a criterion considered. Nevertheless, after what happened? Why do other newcomers like Samsung and Sony Ericsson managed to get too fast? I think that Nokia does not think about the field and tried to use Cayden (continuous improvement) philosophy to the fact that demands constant innovation, and not the new type. You see, the mobile device are not perfect. We devices that serve their purpose very well, almost to perfection does not exist. Japanese knives look like. Engineering has been refined over time, to ensure that the balance is constructed as soon as possible, the blades sharp as possible, and aesthetics and peak. Much more likely that we have done with this knife. This evolutionary approach is good for things like Japanese knives, but not for new technologies that were not enough to mark a permanent nature.
We have just begun to analyze which personal handheld device can do for us, and in the last few years that we've seen? The biggest jump only iPhone. It is not because of any characteristics of his mind, but because of how we interact with machines. This, alone, has changed how we communicate with the device remains. Pages from the book iPhone Microsoft was great, and the idea of a pane of glass with some touch input said. Apple used for the input and the iPhone style is added to the trackpads in laptops in the past, and almost every manufacturer, or in the near future, will the phone with touchscreen input extra large ahead.
A visionary design that makes the iPhone so unique, and it continues to this day. Google, for instance, is using GPS, sensor, microphone, so connecting to 3G can be used in programs that search results can be satisfied with their environment faster than typing the same text can be entered. Nokia has developed in such a way? Arguably, the world's cell phone, many of them, but expectations are high, and market leading.
Nokia has decided the right way the path for the 7650 phone. This device was very creative, even a little ahead of time. Open operating system, built-in camera, slider design, 7650 could burst in North America and Japan. It was easy to play MP3 and video, ringtunes custom, and many other features that are popular today phones. Nokia is not quite in the market system, and it should be, especially in the most important market.
Since 7650, transferred to Nokia devices, such as 6600 and 3650. What progress to complete this process in Nokia? Almost nothing. 7650 visits to the operating system Symbian OS, allowing applications to be installed. European and Asian developers began building the phone program, viewers shell office documents, File Explorer, player MP3, video players and much more. Mobile phones equipped with cameras, as well as relatively open operating system allows great development.
Obviously, the next generation of little ways to improve before 6600. Various candybar, not slipping, but the same page with the same resolution and size, the main differences in the operating system and the battery is exactly the same meaning that it is a beautiful conversion was more than anything. 6600 on the popularity of the European and Asian markets at the time, and in 2005 reached North America made it such a success has made it out of the country to find. Another phone released around the same time, in 3650 6600 in many respects similar, but with a view to the youth market, design funky been implemented.
This happened after 7610, after the operation is now common for Nokia Cosmetic changes, combined with a higher pricetag. This proposal is 1 megapixel camera on the side is better, but currently, Symbian OS software still other upconversion photos that are interpolated 1-megapixel VGA camera in 6600 and 3650. Interpolated images that look almost real-time with 1-megapixel 7610.
"Next Generation" 6630 3G-smartphone from Nokia for the first time, and he, along with a stereo headphone output, it was all new. But it is very full use of 3G, as the 2-way video is that considered part of the package were 3G-phones, and 6630 was no camera in advance.
Nokia, however, an integrated camera dock sales separately, so that the 2-way conversations can be made. Swimming pool are all related, but after training, not far from the computer using a web camera is different and not very "mobile". Even if all Nokia to play MP3, no one stereo audio output (Smart, Nokia, despite the popularity IPod also clearly observed. Members of the mono sound is broadcast through the speakers is limited to a wired headset monaural or through low-quality mono headset Bluetooth. Thus, all they have Bluetooth, right from the start! "When we got to 6680, Nokia camera a bit better and added to the front VGA camera for video calls, 3G, having learned its lesson from 6630.
There were good, without any other changes there. Currently, Nokia has slowed innovation was discontinued. In contrast, Apple released a product that has never much more technically, but I really stood back and constantly develop their programs with each firmware update was pressured, and this is something Nokia, what could be done with hardware and software at the time of TOP .
Currently, Nokia decided that it should be rejuvenated its image through marketing, and only then N-series phones. They are still not fundamentally different from the previous phone, but how best to sell as "multimedia computers". They add new features at this time, for example, cameras began to better optics Carl Zeiss, an optical zoom on the model or two, and eventually Wi - Fi. Some models were simply rehashes of existing models, a complete similarity between the 6680 and N70.
N-series come with a new version of Symbian, one that most existing applications can be run. As consumers, we do not know the stigma compatibility (cough, MS Vista, PS3 cough, cough), and then re-run development cycle. What is interesting to note that although the Symbian platform, but I update any manner or did not feel different. Nevertheless, animated menus and easier to use phones Sony Ericsson, but with a dodgy operating system always should have been more changes.
The software is constantly short-term memory on Symbian and was exorbitant prices, Nokia has always, more memory, can not hurt. Even in the last repetition, Symbian platform that you want does not sound smooth, compared to the iPhone OS and operating systems for the transfer. Glossary of companies do not operate as they should. If you send a document in Word, it will not necessarily open the display is correct, and in that rare case, he tries, and accidents are rare surity speed. Nokia N80 for a good browser, they came, and it is used, but to wear his. "It was great that first came out, all the other miles from the browser. Since then, apparently, little development is built. This is a royal pain in the example to your trip on the Internet, and even more flash heavy site. Flash of course, does not work. Imagine if they made it work ... This is the first phone capable of full Internet browsing, even struggling with the iPhone. N90 and N93, of course, interesting but suffers the same problems. N93 has a flip open mode, as N97 is not new, but it does not always register flip and switch to landscape mode, or too slowly.
While the Nokia N95 works for some time, the software that millions of iPhone, and even send him to safety. Times lock downloads for the user is not a result of poor clients.
Another problem is that the reality has features that do not live up to hype. Built-in GPS on the N95 was a great idea, but if Nokia does not contain any useful transformation - on - the transformation of the navigation software, but on the contrary, is wanted for its value. Slow to lock on, and often wrong, GPS is mainly wasted. N95 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens is great, but during the reception was moderately easily beaten by a cheap camera manually. The time required to run an amazing image was taken far too long. Meanwhile, Samsung in Korea and Japan, phones, cameras are just perfect.
Need the phone screen is good. In addition, consumers love the big screens. It seems that there - thought ... Good screen, right? Using the Nokia went from brilliant pages in the lowish 2,23 Resolution 352 × 406 screen on the N90 and N80 are still so tightly pixels, they can not be seen with the naked eye.
Of course, screen size was small, but these efforts in the right direction. Incredibly, after the N80, Nokia went right to the use of low-resolution display, exclusively. Until now, their size has increased, but no resolution. Regarding this issue, I think you'll understand why Nokia all that well in North America and Japan, not by accident. Despite all its shortcomings, the cost of each new phone rates a full laptop, and it's something that does not solve all that well in North America based on the cost (we spend more than anyone else in the world, But I want our money worth!).
And now our new baby to get a Nokia. N97. Obviously, the Nokia N95 will play popular paintings, following the alphabetical order, but it seems strange that the N96 does not fully explode. Essentially the same as N95 (with what?) From 16 GB to 8, we have never seen him with ... This blog was created, people buy them published in Singapore and around the world, and now ... Nokia move. In any case, good for them, that they were, because the N97 is clearly the first big step in his classic 7650.
Nokia, it seems, finally realized that the finger-based touch-input to stay, and one from a quiet showcase includes me. 360 x 640 resolution display which is quite friendly, 16:9 O, modern television and film, something like 20 and 30somethings. In fact, those who want to undertake such a device ... Nokia Well, well! In the end, you begin to understand your target market! They went one step further and includes tactile feedback. This software than hardware, because the iPhone is technically capable of it too, but May be interesting to see how well he performed. A mouse with tactile feedback was some time ago where you want to throw the cursor on the link, and you "feel" link there. I'm not sure if this helps in any way, but hey, if Nokia way deemed useful ... Excellent.
In addition, Nokia apparently realized that the Internet is important and, thus, a touch QWERTY keyboard perfect somersault. One interesting feature that will certainly benefit was found here. It is interesting to see how the Nokia-style debt ... This is most clearly evident on the screen is off.
HSDPA radio and will be modest, and there, but I hope this modest level of nitrogen in this time and they run the range. 32 GB of memory and micro-processor shows that they have to listen to what people want, and this is firmly trump Apple Memory irresolvable. They say 5-megapixel camera and optics Carl Zeiss, VGA video, and allows to increase the speed of 30 frames per second shooting. So what? My 2.5 year old N93 can do. In 2009, the phone must be able to do at least 720p video with sound is equivalent to N93. I think this is the weakest part of the phone, to be honest.
Finally, one of the important parts of the puzzle, install the operating system is very real. Check this idea, as their previous Nokia to their views and their raising of new posts. "Today" screen, in the presence of past generations, calendar, notes, to do now, e-mail and text messages on the main screen, let you know what you need at first glance. They belonged to the brilliant Apple this time on the screen, but now, thanks to the accuracy and size, now including Facebook, MySpace, weather conditions and other considerations. At this time, in my view, trump iPhone factual point of view of usability, because you tons of useful information at first glance, you instead go to the individual programs. "Delete" button (big picture) shows that this version may be easier to use, the intensity required for Symbian. If the software is so good and touch screen works better than the iPhone, it seems, we have a real winner in our hands. Low prices and this will also open $ 800, but if the carrier in North America, pick up and deliver it to a decent price, this phone can really do well if it is true Nokia market. I look forward to testing!
