How Nokia Lost the Smartphone War — History of Symbian Touchscreen Phones

It is the year 2006 and Nokia has just announced its new flagship — the Nokia N95. Back then Nokia was on top of the world having sold the most phones globally for almost a decade in a row. Nokia N95 would be unanimously called the best equipped phone by all the reviewers. It seemed impossible that anyone could threaten Nokia's leading position in any way any time soon. But then in January 2007 a new player entered the mobile phone scene. The announcement of the iPhone shook the world and resulted in an opening of a new chapter in the history of mobile phones. That kind of development required a response from the biggest player on the market. Welcome to Myorknet and this is the story of how Nokia lost the smartphone war. ══════════════════════════ Watch our previous videos: 5 Graphically Impressive Java Games -    • 5 Graphically Impressive Java Games   Forgotten Sony's Response to Nokia N-Gage -    • Forgotten Sony's Response to Nokia N-Gage   ══════════════════════════ VIDEOS USED: Nokia N95 commercial:    • Nokia N95 Good TV Ad   /    • Nokia's N95 launch in NY   The iPhone presentation:    • Steve Jobs introduces iPhone in 2007   iPod presentation 2001:    • Apple Special Event 2001 - The first iPod ...   People waiting in line for the iPhone:    • iPhone New York Launch   Nokia N95 8GB unboxing:    • Nokia N95 8GB Unboxing   LG Prada ad :    • LG Prada phone   Samsung Ultra Smart F700 ad:    • Samsung F700 Qbowl Commercial   Nokia 5800 XpressMusic ad:    • HD Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Commercial   iPhone scrolling:    • Audience Reacts to Steve Jobs Scrolling on...   iPhone pinch to zoom:    • Video   Bounce on Nokia 9210 gameplay:    • Nokia 9210 - Bounce game   RT GR gameplay on E90:    • Global Race on Nokia E90   Apple Newton ad:    • Apple Newton PDA Commercial 1993   Nokia N97 Comeback ad:    • Nokia N97 Comeback   Spore cell stage gameplay:    • Spore: Cell Stage Video   iPod Spore gameplay:    • The iPod Click Wheel Games Preservation Pr...   Asphalt 4 intro:    • Asphalt 4 Elite Racing intro   Nokia N97 quality control clip:    • Anssi Vanjoki (EVP, Markets) talks about t...   Nokia 5230 ad:    • Nokia 5230 Commercial   Nokia X6 hands-on:    • Nokia X6 and Nokia X3 hands-on   Nokia N8 ad:    • The Nokia™ N8 - Commercial   The Commuter short:    • Nokia N8 Action Film   The Commuter Starri...   Mobile World Congress 2010:    • Derdack@MWC 2010 - Windows Phone 7 Launch   Nokia Ovi Store ad:    • Nokia Ovi Store - Discover amazing apps fo...   Nokia 808 ad:    • Nokia 808 PureView - Commercial HD.flv   Nokia N96 ad:    • New Nokia N96 commercial   Asphalt 4 J2ME:    • Asphalt 4 on Nokia N97   ══════════════════════════ SOURCES: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/a... https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/700-... http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/featur... https://www.researchgate.net/figure/N... https://www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/andr... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology... https://web.archive.org/web/201603092... https://web.archive.org/web/201604070... https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_uncove... https://www.gsmarena.com/symbian_bell... https://www.mobiloud.com/blog/android... http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/featur... http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/i... http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/featur... https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n96-22... https://www.gsmarena.com/ https://lpcwiki.miraheze.org/wiki/ https://www.mobilephonemuseum.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ══════════════════════════ MUSIC: Platypus Symbian OST:    • Platypus IOS OST
