Nokia N9 difficult task of rescue or take into Meego swan song is this it?

2010 is the N8, 2011 years N9.Nokia's struggling flagship N9 on stage.Nokia N9 high hopes, hoping to stop the tide, to save face once, and focus on building WP7 phone market to win a little time.
But observers Pengxiong Jiang believes that Nokia's desire might be lost again, N9 difficult to bear the responsibility to save water and fire out of Nokia, which is Nokia's decadent and the N9 of the core status is determined.Nokia's enormous inertia is also great, and now the tide is not able to stop one or two flagship machine is maintained. Iphone launch in the absence of the formation of a strong competitive edge with a revolutionary new product, I am afraid that this decline will continue indefinitely - N8 can not save Nokia, E7 can not save Nokia, N9 can not save Nokia.Nokia relatively insular, has preferred its own smart phone operating system symbian.N9 is a far, only a Nokia symbian operating system, the use of smart phones, N9 operating system is Meego.Meego is a Linux-based Nokia and Intel to launch smart phone operating system, both sides hope to catch up with the smart phone operating system battle the big trend.However, Peng Xiongjiang Meego skeptical of his mother said Meego Linux operating system in the smart phone on hiatus, as the smart phone operating system, Meego is impossible to bring a revolutionary leap. In fact, even Nokia's own Meego hold a high degree of suspicion, were negative for Meego, and the olive branch extended to the general performance of the Microsoft windows mobile.Comprehensive look at all the rumors now, N9 or Nokia Meego system equipped with a "swan song" - in the main application times, Meego apparently was unable to Apple and Google's android ios the os par.Of course, with Nokia's brand appeal and manufacturing processes, N9 is not difficult to find part of the market. However, the situation is very embarrassing N9: one is a lot of high-end Nokia mobile phone customers to the iphone and android camp continues to lose; the other hand, a lot of loyal Nokia users place their hopes in the upcoming WP Nokia mobile phone, a common form of stiffer N9 trend, so that sales of the flagship model N9 suffered embarrassment.

Symbian NOKIA find successors History

Admittedly in the past 18 months can be said that the lowest point of the period since the establishment of NOKIA, Google Android system shipments in the fourth quarter of 2010 exceeded $ 32 million, a 32.9% market share to get the top spot, the first time squeeze the past 10 years under King Symbian OS (shipped 3,100 million, a 28% market share). Compared with the Android camp's annual growth rate (615%) compared with iOS growth rate in the device (85.9%), Symbian system than the growth rate was (30%) not only lagged behind major competitors, even lower than the overall market growth rate. June 13, 2011, Nomura (Nomura) SAMSUNG Securities analyst also pointed out that South Korea is expected in the second quarter of this year aboard the world's largest single manufacturer of smart phones throne, NOKIA from the past 14 years to sit tight in the smart phone dominant under the seat squeeze! With the smart phone market steadily lost, NOKIA's share price has plummeted, even lower than the market value of Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC.

▲ undeniable that over the past 18 months can be said to lowest point since the establishment of NOKIA period, Google Android system from the fourth quarter of 2010 on the second squeeze of the past 10 years under King Symbian.
However, the former overlord most frustrating, and perhaps not the failure itself, but the face of this failure has long been foreseen, NOKIA powerless and helpless, we can only hand over people to the king's crown. "Success Symbian, loser Symbian" is perhaps the most of this Finnish mobile phone giant real reviews. Symbian OS in smart phone market share in 2006 (iPhone are not yet available) is far ahead of 74%, which is NOKIA and Symbian mobile phone operating system, the most glorious moment. At that time you can not choose smart phone platform, combined with Microsoft's Windows Mobile system for ordinary consumers are not very friendly indeed. As the lean, cost-savings features, Symbian, can lower the computing power and more consumer friendly price of smartphone features, but also help the system get the smart phone market share of top spot.
However, since Apple introduced the iPhone in 2007, after driving the growth of smart phone market power from business users into the general consumer users, such consumers pay attention to the entertainment and UI interface dazzling, so a large screen, touch control-screen control of popular models. From the 1990s to the birth of the EPOC to Symbian S60-based continuous improvement of its system up to 20 million lines of code, Symbian source code too so that performance could not be aging and iPhone, Android, compared to similar features. NOKIA has long recognized the fact of this competitive disadvantage, but in choosing to compete with Apple iOS new operating system has always been indecisive. Candidate to replace the Symbian operating system is not without: NOKIA 2005, that early introduction of Linux-based architecture, the avant-garde uses Maemo OS handheld wireless devices NOKIA N730, although unfortunately launched after a series of product lines such as NOKIA N800, NOKIA N810 and NOKIA N900, Maemo operating system has always been limited to small-scale "test market", the above is not a model sold more than 500,000 units. NOKIA Maemo only hope but reluctant to give up on Symbian, Symbian, after all, a mature market and has established a complete industrial chain, which is the Maemo can not be reached in a short time. Can only choose "multi-system strategy": the system is flexible and hold onto the low-end of the Symbian smartphone market and strengthening the cooperation with Microsoft, Maemo or Meego system with high-end smart phone market capture, this software strategy with NOKIA in hardware product line "machine sea tactics" has the same purpose.

 

▲February 2011NOKIA CEO Stephen Elop Finnish mobile phone giant launched amajor business change of direction: the future of mobile operating systems continue tounresolved after two years, NOKIA announced a close strategic alliance with Microsoft, Windows Phone System (including the latest version of the WP7) NOKIA within two years will be the main smartphone platform.

Nokia N9 might not appear in the UK?

A report has surfaced over at the Inquirer which theorises that Nokia might not release its N9 smartphone in the UK.

The N9 is the MeeGo powered affair, and the Inquirer reckons that in this country Nokia might just skip straight to its Windows Phone 7 models, the next major platform for its smartphones.

The reasoning (follow it in the article here) is that the UK doesn’t feature on the official N9 page when it comes to the list of countries the handset will be released in.

A drop-down menu allows you to check for availability, and the UK isn’t listed here, along with a number of other European countries such as France and Germany.

Hence the conclusion that Nokia may just move straight to WP7 territory come the autumn, particularly seeing as the leaked Sea Ray phone looks very much like an N9 (but with Windows Phone 7 on board, and an extra button) anyway.

However, that conclusion may well have been jumped to, because one factor the Inquirer seems to have overlooked is that the Nokia online store has just closed down in the UK (and other countries across Europe).

Therefore, the availability is likely to refer to direct availability from the Nokia store, rather than the MeeGo N9 not being released at all in the UK.

Other UK retailers, for example Play.com, are offering the N9 – although it isn’t on pre-order yet, there are product pages up for the device.

None of which is a guarantee, of course, but it would seem unlikely Nokia would want to skip over chunks of the European market with a phone which has piqued the interest of many (if only to see MeeGo in action before WP7 strolls into town).

How do you think? That under your view, thank you

Nokia N9 need for phone or during the transition time coming WP7

Alternating between old and new platforms at Nokia is confused: the side of the release MeeGo system quite attractive mobile phone N9, turned around again, said the main strategy is to build the Windows operating system for smart phones. The other side, next year will launch 10 new Symbian OS-based machine. Today, Motorola, Nokia, such as year, at the same time to cope with several operating systems. For fans, this is confusing: with the N8 or E7, hope to start N9, but also misses WP7 phone. Situation looks very complicated, hurt the stock price fell again.However, Nokia CEO Elop (Stephen Elop), told reporters optimistic that Nokia is very successful in the Chinese market, the partnership with Microsoft is very confident, year Nokia will launch the first Windows-based mobile phone.
