Microsoft buys Nokia!!!!

[United]

Finnish firm seals sale of mobile phone divisions to US company for $7.5bn, in sector where it was once a global leader.

Nokia has announced the completion of the $7.5bn sale of its troubled mobile phone and services division to US-based Microsoft, ending a chapter in the former world leading phone maker's history that began with paper making in 1865.

The Friday closure of the deal, which includes a license to a portfolio of Nokia patents, follows delays in global regulatory approvals and ends the production of mobile phones by the Finnish company, which had led the field for more than a decade, peaking with a 40-percent global market share in 2008.

It just shows companies can't fall asleep even when they basically own the market.
Just look at Research in Motion. Talk about a fall.

wonder if Nokia was quick in replacing Symbian with Android and even after that should have later gone with Android instead of Windows it wouldn't have suffered this fate. Anyways an era comes to an end.

Nokia's blunder was not shifting to Android unlike other mobile makers.

Such feminine hands !

I miss my Nokia 3310

I miss my Nokia 2100 !

I never liked any of the E or N Series from Nokia; the 2100 - simple and hardy - was the one for me !

I used that, i also used the colossal failure N-Gage.

My favourite was 6210 apart from the 8xxx series.

I always wanted to buy this one, never could save enough.

Well nokia is no longer a leader in today,s cell phone making industry.Brands like HTC ,Sam sung who support android are thriving these days and they are throwing nokia out of the market.
Well this transition process for the Microsoft will be difficult off course because this cell phone hard ware thing is new for them.
