You don't even know what you're saying.

What Nokia did wasn't working?
grin

Use that google to check how many shipments of Symbian was made before even 2011, when they still had the largest smartphones marketshare globally.

'Smartphone' was almost synonymous with Nokia/symbian before 2009.
And please smartphones didn't just take off.

The difference between feature phones and smartphones were as clear as daylight.

Symbian phones are almost as capable as your Android phones of 2016, the only major difference is speed.
Symbian even had a better multitasking platform than android.
VPN, Push mails, HD games, Document editor, you name it, Symbian had it all.

Symbian was no joke my friend!

Not even only Symbian.
Blackberry, Windows mobile, Palm OS, Web OS etc.

I take it you are ignorant about this scope, so stop pushing it. smiley


I agree they made the wrong move going with Microsoft, but stop saying Nokia wasn't a major smartphone maker.
How many smartphones was sold from 2000 to 2006huh How many was sold from 2006 till datehuh

Symbian was good and Nokia dominated with it at some point, why did Nokia lose the market then to ios and Android phoneshuh

Because they didn't give consumers what they want, simple... This is business my friend, you gotta know when the to make that transition to suit customers need, also Nokia didn't improve on their smartphone features and design till they started windows phone and their touch screen phones have alot of problems, I have used tons of them...

But don't forget, what gave Android a huge leg up was that it is open source and very programmer friendly way better than symbian..
You did bring up a good point of symbian being slow, but remember the generation that uses smartphones alot and its featurez are younger generations... They want fast stuffs and Android and ios gave it to them... Andriod even went far as being open source given them the power to basically saying, take this and tweak it as you please... Majority of apps work well with Android and ios and Nokia failed to realize this..

Do you know that samsung had a different os at some pointhuh But they switched to Android really quick

Okay my point is that Nokia had a major share in the market but customers taste changed and they didn't modify their products and tweak it to please the customers but when they did, it was too late for them ...

Don't thank me my friend, we all learn everyday...

Cheers!

I hope you know that Nokia started smartphone business since 2000 or thereabouts?

Or you don't know what smartphones are.....
It doesn't matter if they started it in1857 A.D grin grin my point is that Nokia failed to transition with the market..

Whatever Nokia was doing since 2000 obviously was not working out..
Reason it, smartphones didn't actually pick up like that till 2006 going forward and with the iPhone release in 2007... Other mobile phone makers went to their drawing board really quick to catch up with them but Nokia stayed on the same spot and refuse to change...

Do you know years back some Nokia Engineers became upset about the company's backwardness that they started their own mobile phone companyhuh I can't think of the name now but Google it, I am not your Secretary grin grin cool

oga stop spewing trash that you dont know and just making based on mere assumptions...Everybody must not be on the android bandwagon. Iphone is there and they are still waxing strong. is it by force to use android? Dont come up with the stupid cliche that ios is on a different level.
Must you rain insults to make your point angry angry

Let me school you for few minutes here,

90% of smartphones runs on either Andriod or ios with Samsung and Apple topping the chart.

Apple is a big player in the smart phone world and are dominating hence making ios a preferable choice to millions of customers.

Android on the other hand is programmer friendly since it is open source and other big players LG, HTC, Samsung all run on Android leaving Nokia with a niche market to operate on with their symbian and they can't remain competitive with that... Lesson here is, give the customers what they want and they would remain loyal to your business..

Hope you learnt alot... Stop talking rubbish and reason very well.

Anyways na you get your mouth you fit use am chop $hit

Phones › Re: Nokia Is Coming Back To Phones And Tablets by Badgers14:
Nokia flopped big time on smartphones.... They made the same mistake Kodak made, Kodak is now bankrupt... grin grin

When Nokia had the huge chunk of business in the mobile phone world( majority in Africa, south and central America and Scandinavia countries).. They did not capitalize on that and transistion to smart phone business, they waited too long and when they did it, they used their operating system instead of Android but the train have already left the station....

Also they didn't work on their design to give the customers what they want
I wish them the best though...

Maybe in the future but no time soon...

Have you ever applied for a loan from a. Nigerian bankhuh They almost ask for your stool sample grin grin

Compared to like U.S. where you apply online, just enter your information and they approve, require further processing or deny.....
They only document they ask is copies of your recent pay stubs... Then the money gets deposited to your account... The same applies to credit card... When they approve your application, they just send you the card in a mail...

Cheers!!!

neocortex:
I give up!,
Buhari advised Nigerian Governors the herdsmen and farmers clashes, you changed
the discussion to "the problem with SE is their leader" , tell me how the two correlate ?
Are you saying that herdsmen exist only in SE and other regions have no problem with herdsmen ?
Other regions have problem with the herdsmen but i am from the south east and majority of the massacres occured in Ekweremadu's home state of Enugu..

So read the post well before you respond okay grin

neocortex:
Here we go again, the present stated his position on Cattle herding and all
you can come up with is blame some people.
Is herdsmen problem peculiar to a particular region ?
SMH.
Read the post very well before responding angry angry

If Buhari issues an order now they would call him a dictator grin

Whether you like it or not, the problem with SE are there leaders, they don't give a $hit about their people..
What prevents Ekweremadu in drafting a bill for cattle rearing be treated as a business, for the herdsmen to build their own farm like PMB did in Daura and graze their cattle in their own farm..

These communities they ransack are not shareholders in their business so why should they contribute to the feeding of their livestockhuh
Nevertheless, cattles rooming the streets is a public safety concern, an eyesore angry angry

But again, what have Ekweremadu done for his people using his positionhuh NOTHING angry angry

Say the truth ma brother, it will set you free grin

titiakins:
UYour people won't get one land from the south even if he signs the God-forsaken bill
Maybe that will be the last straw that finally breaks the country

Rubbish
What is this one saying angry angry for your info... I am full bloodied igbo and I am not shy being Igbo... I am just shy of politicians from the East..

You see, here is the problem, why do you think Ekweremadu will draft a bill that will encourage the herdsman to drive their cattle around the country with impunityhuh "Perhaps" he doesn't have the intetest of his people at heart .
Have you being to the so called international airport at his home state Enuguhuh I will save you a trip, that's rubbish... Airport that gets flooded with a slight rainfall, no shuttle... Infact don't get me started there angry angry
Drafting a bill like a suggested would have been a bill requiring the herdsmen to treat their cattle rearing as a business venture which it is because those communities that they ransacked are not shareholders in the business... The herdsman should build a farm settlement so their cattles would graze in "their" farm.... Cattles rooming the streets is even a public safety concern , an eyesore...

So ma guy, read a post very well before responding, okay grin

This might sound weird but Buhari has a point here, let me explain before you throw stones at me grin grin
We often times blame the president, OBJ, GEJ, PMB but forget about other elected officials that are closer to us than the president...

I will say Shame Shame on Ike Ekweremadu, he has a lot of power in the country and he is from, wait for it..."ENUGU STATE" what prevents him from coming up with a bill to address this current situationhuh Then pass the bill and let PMB refuse to sign it...

I keep reiterating the issues the igbos have is their leaders not the FG... How times have someone from SE elected SENATE PRESIDENThuh Recall Ken Nnamani, Chuba Okadigbo, Adolphus Wabara e.t c, last administration the speaker was from IMO STATE... SSG LAST TIME FROM EBONYI STATE....

Again, recall the president cannot unilaterally pass a law, that amounts to dictatorship, I know if PMB gives an order like that, same people complaining now will call him a dictator...
Finally, shame on Ike Ekweremadu he is placed in a decent position in the country to come up with a solution to this. angry angry..... Draft a bill for cattle rearing be treated as a private business, the herdsmen build their own farm and graze their cattle in their farms, infact cattles rooming the streets is a public safety concern then put your position to work and get the votes to pass it... Drop it off for PMB and let him refuse to sign it then angry angry

Literature › Re: Which African Writer Wrote Better Than Chinua Achebe? by Badgers14: 6:39am On May 06, 2016
dapyd1:
You guys forget that we are talking about literature as an art, and using the word 'better' does not capture it.
Depending on the reader, critic or environment the criteria for measuring which writer is better will be entirely different.
Why do humans like putting people in a box by classifying them as better or worse.
We have had a horde of brilliant writers over the past century in the African continent, majority of whom even the OP has not read even if you spend every minute of your life reading.

The question is subjective and can only lead to arguments and counter-arguments.

My two cents though.
Take one beer for ma head grin
