2. Not Dumping Symbian
Nokia owns the Symbian OS which simply explains why they were literally stucked with the OS for so long. In 2007 when the original iPhone was released, it showed the weakness of the Symbian OS. In fact, Nokia’s Symbian OS was dated once the iPhone found its way into store-shelves.

Symbian OS become a total joke when Google’s mobile operating system; Android was released. Android was cross-platform, it gave other phone manufacturers a new bound-less mobile operating system to work with. Enabling them to compete against the iPhone, Nokia again, didn’t give a hoot!
Symbian OS still had enough juice, Nokia would have thought. That’s a genuine imagination, but Nokia’s loyal fanbase thought otherwise. They saw the age of Symbian OS, and were already jumping camps. Nokia only needed to act during that period but they didn’t, even Motorola which was lost in the Mobile industry found light once it adopted the Android operating system.
Immediately Verizon saw the events, they too gave the Android OS a major push in reaction to counter AT&T’s iPhone. HTC was quick to adopt Android and saw an immediate benefit. Sony and LG followed more slowly, and then Samsung but in a big way.
