I loved the 8800.
But still my favourite is the 7110
wikipedia
First S40 and the first to come with a WAP browser (and that scroll wheel)! Still power it on from time to time
Oh, would I have kept all those gems ...
What only happened?????

Loved the way one could answer a call with the quick release / slide action / almost shooting out kind of action. And it was in the Matrix, wasn't it?Looking back, it seems that Nokia was much more innovative than today's cell phone manufacturers.

My personal take when looking back at the past...
I don't think it was failure on the part of the corps I mention as much as it was the advent of the stupidphone which brought many good things and companies to the brink ...if not over it.
Nokia ...BB are two good examples...
The initial skirmish initially released interesting product on the unsuspecting public with the publicly stated intent of "all your needs in your pocket"... which has escalated into a deterioration of the latest "shiny"
I think the war has really just begun.
And I think devices like the pyra and like the neo900 are going to blow the lid off things as we know it.
Sure sure...the neo900...it's a small project.
But boy o boy...
I'm just guessing that many of the big boys are watching intently.
Looking at what the device offers... the neo900 essentially offers exactly what the populace originally wanted and needed.
Whether that is relevant or not now to the desire of the the global herd to turn them from consumers back into avid and curious users and innovators ...we'll see.
Not that I'm plugging the neo or anything

Hmm while memories are always rose-tinted, I can think of many reasons for Nokia's downfall other than the CEO; for example, how many people were ticked off at purchasing the 8210 only for it to be superceded by the 8250 after a few months with the only difference being the blue light and dancing motion while ringing during a call or the 7210 vs 7250 etc...
Nokia, Samsung et al during the feature phone years were specialists of adding one feature while removing another in every new model hence never releasing a "complete" device.
They took bean counting to the extreme hence their fate today...

But hey, Nokia's still around in some form, so it could be a lot worse. And with Nokia no longer making phones, there's space for a lot more newcomers - Sailfish, Ubuntu, Firefox OS and Tizen have all benefitted.

And wrong. Nokia is gonna make phones after 2016. And damn good ones. I'm excited. But there is always hope for the newcomers. Sailfish is a great one, if it could extend its market to other countries.
