Is Nokia's "Symbian" system "a failure"?
Nokia is counting on its partnership with Microsoft to help stem a loss of market share in developed markets. We'll be closely tracking the progress of Nokia's Lumia phones, as well as other Windows Phone phones Nokia will launch in mid-2012. For now, we maintain a conservative stance and expect Nokia's market share to continue to decline, but at a slower pace and stabilize over the next few years. Low-risk strategy We have previously written about Nokia's low-risk strategy in the US market. Nokia chose the smallest of the four major U.S. carriers to launch a low-end smartphone just after the holiday shopping season to avoid stiffer competition from smartphone giants. There is no doubt that this will give it a large enough market to sell mobile phones and gain a foothold in this market. Prior to this, Nokia had made many attempts but had never succeeded in penetrating the US market. But we believe that the signing price of $50 will attract many price-conscious consumers, not just those who are buying smartphones for the first time. Carrier relationships are crucial One of the main reasons why Nokia's previous attempts to break into the U.S. market were thwarted was the company's lack of good relationships with carriers, the backbone of the vibrant U.S. smartphone industry. This time, Nokia is solving the problem. According to media reports, Nokia is planning to launch some kind of cooperation with larger operators such as AT&T and Verizon, and is currently testing a 4G LTE version of its high-end 800 smartphone to obtain approval from these operators. This phone is likely to be based on Microsoft's Tango system, which is an upgraded version of Mango that supports LTE. We believe Nokia is focusing on each operator's unique needs and actively trying to achieve a healthy relationship with them, which bodes well for Nokia's U.S. plans. Ah, if this situation develops, in another two or three years, I think we will also be able to use Windows phones!

I really don't understand why Nokia doesn't support the 'Android' system! (It seems that Nokia now has a 'Anna' system! I'm getting dizzy from all these things! (─.─|||)
It probably isn't that Nokia refuses to adopt Android, but rather that Android doesn't allow Nokia to adopt it! Android collaborates with Samsung, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, etc., but not with Nokia, which is obviously a declaration of war against Nokia! Moreover, Nokia also has the Symbian system. Although many people say it's outdated, I still support Nokia. In the not-too-distant future, this former king will definitely make a comeback!
……Nokia no longer has the Symbian system and has been renamed the Nokia system. Along with Mina, Anna, WP7, etc., Nokia will eventually make a comeback.
Nokia said it wants to develop a system even better than Android, but it's unclear if it's under development.
Damn Google, going off to develop a mobile system for no reason. Nokia would be fine without it anyway, and those Java developers wouldn't have gone to work on Android.
These game developers only know how to make money. Since the advent of Android, Java games have clearly decreased!
That's true. Now all the Java application developers have gone to Android, and the era when Symbian dominated is gone.
