Nokia marketshare in smart phones is dropping according to lastest news

I have been blogging about mobility marketplace in my Finnish blog and today Nokia announced their results. Nokia's marketshare in the cellphone market has dropped from 40 percent to 38 percent. This drop is not huge, but an alarming trend for Nokia. Nokia has issues in the smart phone markets as well. I checked out the latest Nokia E71 and E90 phone while visiting Finland and I have to say that the keyboard in E71 is the best I have ever experienced.

However, based on our research (global call down to businesses), Nokia Symbian platform is not seen as a sexy platform to build things on. The platforms of choice today is Windows Mobile, RIM Blackberry for the corporate and Apple iPhone and Google Android for the consumer markets. This trend is specifically here in the US, but I expect the market to be very heated of getting developers to build solutions on their platform. The winner is going to be the one ruling both business and consumer markets. There is not a single vendor that can claim to have these both.
