Well why did they buy a shit company like Nokia? Why didn't they buy Motorola?
Caleb Sanders

Camden Evans
Nokia was probably much cheaper than Motorala
Luis Ramirez
They paid about two Minecrafts, or four Instagrams for that shit Nokia, and they didn't even get the patents. LMAO.

Gavin Morris
Thinking about moving from here when I finish my degree. What is most based country for (non-codemonkey) development?
Owen Adams
>and they didn't even get the patents.
Are you serious. Lol
Andrew Barnes
Nokia was the worlds biggest phone company and it was sold like what, 5 billion? Who wouldn't buy it for that cheap. For comparison, Uber's value is about 60 billion. Finland really fucked their shit up.
David Kelly
>was
that's no reason to buy them
they didn't buy them in 2006
I suppose they were technically the biggest when they were bought but they were bleeding cash like crazy and losing market share fast
Why buy the Titanic while it is sinking? I get it, big ship, so what?
Xavier Smith
Finland didnt fuck up anything, but Nokia did.
Isaiah Richardson
Yes.
And now Nokia is licensing the patents and brand to some chinks, who turn nokia into chink shit phones.

Nokia's value was deliberately ruined by Microsoft's trojan horse Stephen Elop (and previous CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo). Nokia was supposed to be Microsoft's key to success in mobile market. The plan failed, and now all that is left is a dead brand and a country on the verge of bankruptcy.

>less than half a percent drop in one particular 3-month span
>FINLAND IS FINNISH
Leo Roberts
This man is responsible for the demise of Nokia.
Luis Clark
>Nokia making Android phones in the future
>MS cancelling Windows Phone
the future is so bright I have to wear shades
Easton Nelson
Protip: Nokia is a profitable company that still own all their patents.
Ryder Taylor
I would've loved the Nokia Lumia if it had Android on it.
RIp Nokia

Nokia isn't dead, their network infrastructure branch is doing great
Jonathan Foster
Found the Finnish fag scared about his country dying. I would be too, because it is.
Christian Sullivan
Does pajeet even use Windows Phone or is he still using BlackBerry
Bentley Barnes
Fuck this fucking trash. Literally a trojan horse
Henry Lopez
Literally fucking dying long before
Besides, it wasn't his idea to move over to WP. Learn what the fuck a CEO does and what the fucking board is.
Cooper James
Pajeet uses Android because he likes XML and Java
Aaron Murphy
Finland is shit though
Jackson Peterson
IT'S OVER, MICROSOFT IS FINISHED & BANKRUPT
Gavin Roberts
Their stock literally went up after this thing
Logan Thomas
I know the WP ecosystem is kinda shit but I've been really happy getting a solid smartphone for $25 every back Friday for the last four years.
Is there anything from a major brand in the Android world that can compete at the low end?
