Viber for Nokia vs. Viber for Symbian

Nokia used to be the leader in the world of cell phones. They were the first ones who could capture the market like no one else. However, when Apple launched its iPhone it took over the market. Nokia people did not think that iPhone will be such a big thing and hence did not invest in touch screen phones until recently. Apple, in the mean time capitalized on this lack of Nokia’s vision and became the uncrowned champion of the mobile market.

The short sight of Nokia was to not launch something that could offer something that iPhone couldn’t or at least most of the things that iPhone did. However, Nokia kept sticking to Symbian and did not change the platform to offer the gamut of services that people wanted.

Now that Nokia has realized that Symbian was not the best choice for the platform for their phones they are looking forward to other OSs. Android would have been a good player but there is already a neck and neck fight between other manufacturers such as Motorola and Samsung to sell Android based phones. Therefore, Nokia went ahead and shook hands with Microsoft to offer Nokia’s Lumia series of phones running Windows Phone operating system.

This partnership between Nokia and Microsoft gave both of the parties the tool they lacked. Microsoft got the hardware support and Nokia got the software support. Microsoft also created Windows Marketplace similar to Apple’s Apple’s Appstore to fight Apple.

The future as we see is Nokia phones running Windows OS. The Symbian era has come to an end and it will fade away in a few years when all of the Nokia’s stock has gone.
