Do you think that Nokia is heading slowly but surely towards bankruptcy? Well, you are badly deceived because for some the N8 terminal, which sells 6 times less than the iPhone terminal, is catalogued as being a "success" on the European market. The Nokia N8 terminal is far from being competitive with the rest of the high-end terminals on the current market and this can be seen in the sales, but an American analyst catalogs it as a "success" and recommends people to buy Nokia shares. It seems that the terminal has exceeded the expectations of many, which means that these poor sales are much better than both those from Nokia and analysts expected.
A survey conducted through 150 stores in Europe showed that for every Nokia N8 smartphone sold, 6 other iPhone smartphones are sold, and for me this represents a humiliation, not a success, but everyone looks at things the way they want. It seems that the people who bought such a terminal were very satisfied with it and the only drawback complained about was the lack of applications from the Ovi Store. Considering this situation, it is estimated that Nokia will sell 2.5 million N8 terminals this fall and 9 next year. The numbers seem a bit hilarious to me if we compare them with the sales of iPhone terminals that reached 14.1 million in just one semester.
The Nokia N8 is the "tip of the spear" of those from Nokia and compared to the iPhone 4/Samsung Galaxy S it is far too small to be taken into account. I have the impression that Nokia people are getting used to celebrating mediocrity.
