Innovation? As far as innovation is concerned, for Nokia it's all "been there, done that". They came up with a music phone, Nokia 3300, long before the Walkman series existed. Nokia 7610 was the first phone to have a megapixel camera (not to mention an asymmetrical design). Nokia was making slider phones long before Samsung existed, with it's 7610. They were the first to incorporate a optical zoom in their phone (N93) and have a physical harddisk in a phone (N91). Phone's like 7280, 7380, N-Gage, etc. have still no competition as far as design innovation is concerned. They were the ones who made smartphones mainstream. Till Symbian S60 came smartphones were overly complicated geeky things, not to mention buggy, slow and annoying. Nokia made their smartphones as close to a standard phone as possible, while still retaining all the smartphone features.
They introduced features like torch, thermometer, compass in their phones, something which was unheard of before. They introduced the communicator style range of handsets. Phones like 7200, 7270 were the first (and probably only) to have fabric covers for the phones. The Bravia phones of SE blatantly copy the design of Nokia 6260.
Nokia were the first to feature professional quality optics on their camera phones (N90). They were the first to have a 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone itself. They were the first to put GPS in their phones, which has become a rage now. They were the first to start the do-it-all type of phones like the N95, which is what the Samsung INNOV8 is now (actually the only innovative thing about the INNOV8 is it's name). Nokia were the first to start their own range of gaming phones. And they not just made the phones, but they even launched an entire gaming service, which made companies like Gamespot, EA, etc. make games for the previous N-Gage.
And you are telling me Nokia lacks innovation.
Had it not been for Nokia, others would have still been groping in the dark.
As for the lack of touch screen phones, the only reason Nokia did not launch it before because they could not see any need for it, nor could they fit it in their model range. SE's P-series has existed since ages, but Nokia never launched any proper phone to counter them because they never felt the need to. Even without a touchscreen, their S60 phones were more than capable. The only reason now that Nokia has come up with a ts phone is because of the iPhone, not because of some Xperia. Trust me. SE is the last company that Nokia is worried about. They probably don't even know it exists.
Nokia 3300 a music phone??
...the SE w800 was the first acknowledged music phone to hit the market and its a well known fact. LOL. Please..if your kind of innovation means to brand a phone as a music phone, then leave it alone.
The 7610 was by no means the first to integrate a cameraSiemens was the first company to do that and not nokia.
The T68i by SE was the first phone to have a full colour screen and have bluetooth integrated into it.
N95 is by no means the first phone to have gps, SE have been providing it to its japanese counterparts for long.
What about N90?? Its a brivk.The S700i by SE is the fisrt cam to sport a ccd camera.WTF!!! In fact, the N90 was beaten left right and centre by the k750.What innovation are you talking about??
Are you tryng to talk about design now?? The k850 is the first phone ever to have touch keys on the screen and a battery flap resembling a camera.Its alos the first phone to have an automatic shutter. The SE w550 and the W900 are the first phones to have a swivel design.The SE W900 is the first phone to incorporate 30 fps QVGA recording in a mobile.
LOL...for you..innovation is only restricted to facia and other stuff. Nokia is the first phone to have changeeable facia..blah blah crap... In that sense, SE is the first to have stereo speakers, shake features etc etc.
SE is also the fist company to incorporate senon flash into a mobile. DLNA has also been implemeted first by SE in their C905.
The p800 is the first pda ever to have an mp4 player built into it. Btw, your communicator kinda devices have been running the same length as the SE p series.
And here, i am not even mentioning touchscreen.
Coming to samsung, the innov8 is the first phone to incorporate a mouse wheel in their mobile, also LG incorporates dolby digital osund in their phones and was the first to introduce 120 fps recording in phones.
Coming to SE japan.The bravia phones(which is by no means a copy as you funnily say
) is the fitst to incorporate 26 million colors in a phone.
There are lots more...but i dont want to ruin the topic...
