What happend Nokia?
Sony Ericsson launch one awesome cell phone after the other… and Nokia seem to be clueless. A couple of years ago it was the other way around. Ericsson made phones that looked aweful and Nokia recognized the need to combine design and function.
It’s now 2007, and it seems like Nokia has fallen in the same trap as Ericsson… or maybe not. Most companies today are aware of the importance of good design. Ericsson used to focus on the technical stuff and ignore the design. Well that was until a couple of years ago when they realized they had large parts of their market share to competitors. Ever since Ericsson and Sony joined forces, they’ve launched one beautiful creation after the other. But what happend to Nokia?? Sure, I admit that they do try… but somehow they fail in the end. I believe that Nokia needs to find their own style. In my opinion Sony Ericsson have found their, like Apple has found their… And Nokia is more or less like LG they just try to take other designs and change it into their own. But it doesn’t fit… it rarely does, it feels forced and fake.
Maybe Nokia should get a new design department, cause they sure as h**** dont make me want to buy their products.
