You're very correct. But these days people go for Samsung, Huawei, iPhones, Xiaomi instead. That's the question. Those old guys still make good phones, but people don't really buy them like before. You can't even get the lastest HTC from jumia. Even in Europe, these old brands have lost a large amount of their market.

They didn't follow the trend. Nokia instead of moving to android went to windows

Yes. I think Nokia is picking up now.

Reeoman:


Apart from BB and maybe HTC that i cn say are nt more making waves, u see that sony u just mentioned dnt just compare anyhw phone to it pls, have u checked out their latest devices(v series and xperia)? same with motorola

No doubt, Sony and Motorola are great brands. Market share, brother.

victorix:


Have you looked at the mobile phone market share? It's not about making phones. You said Motorola did one of the best phone of 2020, how many people bought the device, even in Europe? What happened to their sales and market. That's the question. It's not by making one good device.

The truth is those companies still make good phone, but their market is dying or already dead. Go and look at most of HTC latest device, almost all the new device comes with weak Helio A20, P23 chipset, maybe this is one of the reasons, too.

HTC stopped making phone after HTC one, Don't lecture me on phones. Huawei sold more phones than iPhone this year. How many people have you seen using Huawei compared to iPhone. Because the majority of iPhone that is sold in Wes Africa is second hand phone, which Huawei is selling first Hand base on majority. Do you want to talk about phone spec or what?. Chinese and India covers African market alone, so if Huawei is selling 80% of there phone in Asia , it still cover West Africa market. iPhone is not distributed in West Africa, and Samsung low budget phone is what is sold here .

who wouldn't have went to windows? They had dominance on the pc segment and no one predicted android would become this popular, even htc went to windows too but had to quickly switch to android and it cost them lots of money hence the reason they went bankrupt

I heard Blackberry wants to roll out android devices

by their" do u mean htc? Htc were almost the 1st in the android game bru. Their 1st fone came out around 2009 way earlier than 2014. Their htc m8 was released 014 i used it through 016. Htc fones were very solid but packed the worse batteries on earth. Their batteries were beyond terrible!!

The same thing that happened to Dinosaurs.

They've gone into extinction

Nothing last forever, if you can't keep up with changing time you with be left behind

Trends don't move me.

Opportunities move me.

Normal thing.

Nothing stays on top for forever. .. amount to tyranny. Only you wan shop. Nature has a way of conducting it's own election annually.

iPhone turn de come.

Nah Black berry matter pain me pass..

Those who knows phone knows Black berry is one of the best mobile ever produced..

Everything you know.
Everything you have.
Everything you wish for.
Everything you are....

They will all mean absolutely nothing someday. They will expire. Perish. Disappear.

That's life, so no need to wonder what happened to these popular phone brands (or any other brand of anything for that matter, even the iPhone would be gone one day). Life happened to them, as it will happen to everything else. Full stop.

In 2008 blackberry has a touch screen phone storm1... I followed and used thier phones from 2008 to 2013

Exactly BB storm was d first phone I bought with my money

it was touchscreen looks like today's Android's....

Their own cases are simple, the don't produce phone of Naira value and not affordable.
Most of the companies listed above now working along with NASA to produce Satellite � communication devices.

They didn't have the same app support as iOS and android so people stopped using them. They were also stuck in the past holding on to the business phone persona and physical keyboard when most business people had moved on to iPhone and Android.

Google killed them. Ask me how.

I'm new here pls welcome me...

thy have just lost dominance.
cant you see how apple is dominating phone mkt whilst overpriced and they perform really good too

Just because you can't afford them doesn't mean it's dead, LG, Sony, Nokia these brand are very much alive. Tecno and Infinix that we use in Nigeria, American's don't use it, Europeans don't use it, heck, even Asia don't use it.

Storm1 is not a fully touch screen, it's a confused screen Button. The screen itself click and sink when operating. I don't even know how I could explain it sef.
