Quote
*************
1. The product designs are subpar2. Nokia's brand loyalty is waning 
3. Microsoft has lost mobile customer trust 
4. Windows Phone 7 can't attract enterprise customers 
5. Consumers would rather go with Android 
6. The price is cheap (but that's not a good thing) 
7. The marketing is off 
8. The first device should have been the winner 
9. There's no fanfare 
Did anyone really care that Nokia was launching its Lumia 700 on T-Mobile's network on Jan. 11? There wasn't much buzz about it. And when sales fall short on that device, Nokia will be able to point to that as a key reason. Hype is everything in the mobile market. The companies that have it succeed, and those that don't have it fail. Unfortunately for Nokia, it has no hype to rely on, which can only mean one thing: failure.
10. There's a general lack of market understanding
