Unfortunately, only a year later in 2011, Nokia's performance deteriorated, leading to the replacement of the Nokia CEO.
The so-called 'new emperor, new court,' meant the successor naturally wanted to prove themselves by negating the predecessor's achievements and actions, so the MeeGo smartphone system was naturally abandoned.
After abandoning the MeeGo phone system, Nokia turned to collaborate with Microsoft.
Subsequently, Nokia's smartphone system was changed to the Windows Phone system.
The subsequent outcome is self-evident. Nokia was repeatedly tricked by Intel and Microsoft, to the point where it could not recover.
Ultimately, when Nokia's market value plummeted drastically, it was swallowed whole by Microsoft.
But unfortunately, even with Microsoft's full support, Nokia still couldn't be revitalized after several years.
Therefore, Microsoft, having been severely burned by Nokia, had no choice but to sell off the Nokia company, which had become a hot potato, at a low price.
Since then, although Nokia phones still exist, they are no longer the same Nokia, and they no longer have their former prestige and market position. Their market appeal is almost non-existent.
However, the previous life is the previous life, and this life is this life.
Whether this life's Nokia can rise again will depend on future performance.
As for whether the second-generation Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones can rise?
Their initial sales were indeed very strong.
After all, Nokia had put too much effort into this second-generation Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphone.
Therefore, the Nokia company, regarding these two phones as the hope for the rise of Nokia smartphones, directly spent hundreds of millions of dollars on advertising fees.
They aggressively advertised through global advertising channels, and even to expand the advertising reach, they even approached Geek Technology, a competitor, when advertising.
They wanted Geek Technology's internet product advertising channels to advertise their second-generation Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones.
When this advertising cooperation request reached Gao Nian's ears, Gao Nian naturally smiled and said that if a wealthy client was willing to pay a large advertising fee, why not take it?
Thus, the second-generation Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones' promotional advertisements even appeared in many of Geek Technology's advertising channels.
In this way, with Geek Technology agreeing to advertising cooperation, and with the power of hundreds of millions of dollars.
The second-generation Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones' advertisements naturally covered all aspects, reaching all global advertising channels.
The final sales were indeed very strong. After 5 days of advertising preparation,
on October 15, 2010, the first-day sales of the two phones combined reached a full 1 million units!
Moreover, it didn't stop there. The sales could maintain 800,000 units on the following day.
The third day even sold 600,000 units, but that was all the sales amounted to.
Because as the Nokia N9 smartphone and Nokia 5230 smartphone entered the hands of users,
after consumers' excitement of getting a new phone passed, the flaws of the two phones were also exposed.
First of all, naturally, was the most obvious compatibility issue.
Because the Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 both used the same AtomZ1 processor, and this AtomZ1 processor used the X86 instruction set.
The ultimate result was that whether it was the Android system or Microsoft's Windows Phone system,
both had software and game compatibility issues.
It was common for users to experience sudden crashes when playing Android or Windows Phone system games or software.
One crash might be acceptable, two crashes might be tolerable, but after N crashes, consumers' anger had reached its peak!
Therefore, the Nokia company was immediately dumbfounded, because a wave of returns broke out all over the world!
Those angry consumers took their Nokia N9 or Nokia 5230 smartphones to the phone stores where they were purchased, demanding returns.
Faced with their return requests, most phone stores naturally refused to accept them.
After all, there was no reason to return goods that had been sold and used.
Therefore, huge conflicts broke out between the two parties, and the newly emerging self-media in recent years naturally took the opportunity to report and hype the matter.
For a time, the compatibility issues of the Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones were spread everywhere through internet channels.
This made the Nokia company angry and helpless at the same time, and they could only think of ways to remedy the situation.
Nokia CEO Kang Peikai even held a series of press conferences, claiming that the current compatibility issues were not a big problem.
Because not only were Nokia and Microsoft working hard to solve the compatibility issues, but global game and software developers were also working to solve compatibility issues.
As time goes by, more and more games and software will definitely be perfectly compatible with Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones.
So, please be calm and believe in the future of Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones!
However, although what Kang Peikai said was indeed correct, consumers did not understand and did not want to understand!
Because who knows when those games and software will be perfectly compatible.
They didn't buy these phones to treat them like a son, raising them and waiting for them to grow up before using them.
Therefore, the voices of consumers strongly demanding returns were naturally endless, demanding that Nokia agree to returns.
As for whether Nokia agreed to returns, this time they unusually did not support returns.
Because Nokia had finally sold more than two million smartphones.
With these more than two million smartphones, Android and Windows system game and software developers,
would take the initiative to be compatible with Nokia N9 and Nokia 5230 smartphones for the sake of these two million users.
Conversely, if they agreed to returns, without these two million users, how could the game and software developers of these two systems take the initiative to work on compatibility?
Therefore, at this time, Nokia was really in a dilemma.
Continuing forward was a dead end, and retreating was an even more terrifying dead end.
After all, Nokia had spent so much to develop these two phones, overcoming many technical difficulties, and finally successfully mass-produced the phones.
After the press conference, Nokia also borrowed hundreds of millions of dollars from commercial banks to launch a wave of the world's strongest advertising campaign.
At this time, retreating would be a huge failure, so this time Nokia unusually stubbornly refused to accept returns.
However, Nokia didn't think about what era it was now. It was the era of self-media, the era of mobile internet!
The way people obtain information now is different from before. They no longer have to obtain information through computer internet media or television reports.
People now have multiple channels to obtain information: Weibo, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Geek Chat, Geek Short Videos, Twitter Short Videos...
Various software are playing the role of information dissemination channels.
It can be said that if something is really important, it is not impossible for it to spread all over the world within a day, letting most people who can access the internet know about the event.
Therefore, as Nokia stubbornly insisted on not accepting returns, these more than two million users naturally vented their dissatisfaction and complaints on the internet!
Therefore, as time passed, Nokia realized that they seemed to have made a mistake again.
