On November 14th Nokia, the world’s largest maker of such devices, announced that it expects the industry to sell no more than 330m of them in the fourth quarter—about 6m fewer than in the same period last year and 20m fewer than it predicted just a few months ago. Worse, Nokia expects sales in 2009 to drop below this year’s level. This would make it only the second year ever in which the global handset market has contracted.

The Accidental President, born from among the Great Danglng Chads (note, the most positive happy-go-lucky thing one can say and claim)

We are all getting ready for another new year. but I am really worried, is Obama taking a good swim, media and all, at the beach only specifically without his wife and kids??



Anyway, most, especially women, say Obama looks great, taking his swim for the United (National) Socialists of Americas..

Nokia Facing Hard Times On All Fronts: Mobile Phones; Telecom Infrastructure And Services

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has trimmed its workforce by around 1,000 and is cutting back on investing in new content and services. But it's no wonder?the company is facing steep competition on all fronts, ranging from its traditionally strong handset division to its telecom infrastructure division.

Still, Nokia has two big launches coming up, so not all bets are off. Look forward to the Ovi Store, which will compete with Apple's App Store, starting this month, and also its flagship N97 device coming to North America this summer.

Here's a round-up of what Nokia is facing from a number of viewpoints:

?Mobile phones: Nokia continues to be the largest global handset manufacturer, however, its marketshare dropped in the first quarter to 36.2 percent from 39.1 percent in the year-ago period, according to a report published by Strategy Analytics yesterday. Likewise, Nokia continues to retain the lion's share of the smartphone market at 41.2 percent, but its lead is slipping (because of the iPhone). Last year, Nokia's share was higher at 45.1 percent. Telecom infrastructure and services after the jump?

?Telecom Infrastructure: Nokia Siemens, which provides network infrastructure to both wired and wireless operators, saw its marketshare drop in the first quarter to 21 percent from 24 percent a year ago, reports Reuters. It is the third-second largest after Ericsson (NSDQ: ERIC), which saw its share increase. In addition, it faces intense competition from China's Huawei, which took the No. 3 position, by doubling its market share from a year ago to bypass Alcatel-Lucent.

?Internet and mobile-phone services: For the last couple years, Nokia has been investing deeply in services, such as maps, photo-sharing, mail, music and other content. Two weeks ago, it confirmed it was no longer investing in Ovi Share, its photo-and-video sharing site. The action marks the handset maker's first major retreat in the Internet services space. It issued a press release saying that it will party with third-parties when it makes sense. Analysts suggest that the Ovi Share service never took off given steep competition from established sites such as Picasa, Flickr or Facebook.

You and those two other long NOK dudes sure are getting boring with all this idiotic banning. Must be massive NOK losses, or something. Time to put on the T-shirt for all three of you.

Oh, and have to agree with this:
Wow... There is wrong.. and then there is REALLY, REALLY WRONG!

No wonder those on the NOK Moderated Stream are so BITTER, and have surrounded themselves in their own autocratic euroserf sandboxs.

And so it goes,

I'm holding out till after the holidays when Amazon is likely to knock it down an additional $100 or even more for a short time, but at this price it is very tempting right now. - Msg: 28405768
You're gonna wait three months to save $100, when you could have the best imaging phone on the planet, right now?

I'd have absolutely no problem paying the original price again, for mine.

And some of the images I made with it since I got it? Priceless.

For example, my gal's father recently passed. Used the Nokia 808 PureView exclusively to record the days before, the funeral and the memorial. No huge, noisy DSLR bugging people, just that lovely little toy, silently recording photos and videos of astonishing techical quality.

I'm not the only one who thinks so. The whole family was absolutely thrilled to see the results.

Now, I could have saved $100 bucks and bought it now, or I could wait three more months and save another $100.

Meanwhile, the world around me would go unrecorded, by the King of all phonecams.

That would be sad.

Plus, hey, all one has to do is flip NOK a few times and bingo, $200 suddenly seems like small change found under a seat cushion.

Just buy the 808, already. Sheesh.
