Dear Yadgyu, Nokia is not a company that sells only two second and third world countries. Nokia has a product for everyone! Nokia stands first in mobile phones sales in all richest nations as well as the developing nations of the world excluding those where the service provider lure the customer’s into fixed term contract and offer the phone almost free of charge or at lower rates and then extract the money out by the monthly rates during contract term which already covers the cost of phone as well as service.

“We are competing with Apple on all fronts with all cylinders,” said Vanjoki. “Let the best man win.”

This may be true but Nokia has a four cylinder Cobalt while Apple has a V10 Viper. Just take it easy, Nokia. You can continue to sell low-end phones to second and third world countries that are not looking for bells and whistles.

The market segment for iPhone and N810 is completely different. N810 won t be cutting into the iPhone market share but would compete against Sony, Samsung & Palm’s mini personal communicators/computers.
However, it would definitely narrow the market segment for Smart/Multimedia Phones.

I am pleased with N95 – front Camera, GPS, 5M Camera, …. However it lacks a QWERTY keyboard – a critical piece of component missing.

N810 has a lot of potential (if it is a phone) with larger touch screen and QWERTY…. waiting for a phone version to come out.

Wasn’t Jaiku purchased by Google – not Nokia?

Google acquired Jaiku, not Nokia.
