Nokia Losing its Cell Phone Dominance

supersandra writes "The Boston Globe is reporting that Nokia is struggling to offer features, such as cameras and flip-phones, that are luring customers away to phones by other brands such as Motorola, Samsung, and Siemens. While Nokia used to account for 1 in every 3 phones sold worldwide, they are down to 28.9 percent. Nokia plans to bring 35 new phone models to market this year to win back more users."

    35 models... Which one should I choose? Maybe this one? No. Maybe this? No. Maybe... I think I'll choose Siemens, then.

    And sometimes when it rings, it doesn't stop vibrating, even after I answer. Interesting way to hold a phone conversation.

    That's part of their advanced phone-sex package.

    Yeah, yeah, I know. And your car probably gets 40 rods to the hogshead and that's the way you like it, right?
