Think Nokia is a bit desperate right now... 9 phones in a month... That doesn't make sense at all... I think SE is leading this race just now, it will be exiting to see how the new phones from Nokia will perform, and how SE will strike back

According to telecom analysts, it is very unlikely for Nokia to reach the dominance levels of 90s... In fact there is a tendency the share of the market to be distributed evenly to the major players of Telecoms (Nokia, SE, Siemens, Motofola, Samsung)

I Personally believe that in the next 3-4 years Nokia's market share will fall about 10% from current levels, but it will still be no1 (given that the competitors will continue to improve and innovate)

phones are getting better and better, and nokia are suffering to come up with new designs and well, new improved functions.

everything they have, we've heard of, or it's available with a coming up model of a

the 7210 is coming out the same time the p800 will come out. and the t68 is slighty better than the 7210? i think it'll be quite useless then

hell. could come out with something better by then. [addsig]

Ericsson (SonyEricsson) have gone down from 10% market share to 5%. Nokia have gone from 30% to 35% market share. Do the math..... I think it sucks....

BUT Ericsson have stated that they no longer care about market share, but are focusing on the phones that give them the best return, i.e. no 3210 for 1$ sort of thing, but T68... But I read somewhere that they loose money on each t68 sold, I don't know...

But when Ericsson was selling lots of phones ex. the T28s. The did gain any money. But they lost money on every phone the sold. Now the are gaining money on the phones they are selling and that is the main point not marketshares, that comes after.
