I am not surprised that Nokia's decline in market leadership is their lack of foresight and forethought.
When I switched to Apple, their launch of every new product has always been synchronised with a full bore team that is ready at a drop of the feather to release all the floodgates of information. Take for example the Apple iPad is a phenomenon. Apple's software, support and software releases and web content and all are held in suspense until that final moment that Steve Jobs makes that physical mention of the new product. Everyone is awed by the suspense. When the awe and light display is over almost instantaneously the entire Apple corp is in sync. Their web pages change to reflect the new product, availability, and almost any bugs that appear are fixed very quickly. This is Apple's success. THEY MAKE PRODUCTS THAT MEET ME AS A SINGLE CUSTOMER HAPPY AND 98 % OF THE TIME.
I picked up my N9 today and was dissapointed because I couldnt back up my content from the old X7 that I had. Another big reason why Nokia may not see next winter as the entire users around the world are going to migrate to Cloud computing and Apple have done it again...
My ole X7 and E9 are all going to become expensive paperweights. That's what's happened in reality. Getting 5 or 6 iPhone 4s are what I am going to seriously consider and put my N9 out for auction on eBay or something...
The management at NOKIA ought to have learnt by now. HP's goner.... today 2 computer companies dominate.... APPLE and IBM... the rest are chasing the dragon and not having a head to guide them....
My point is NOKIA better have a good update or fix. Parting shot... my X7 was working fine until the latest software update then all hell broke loose. The phone hangs and many other issues that are intermittent and will certainly want everyone to know that I would action out by making it a paperweight.
