Brief
Nokia dominated the global cellphone market from the late 1990s through 2007 with hit models like the 3210, 3310 and 1100, but failed to translate cutting-edge R&D into competitive smartphones. Internal documents show engineers recognized the iPhone’s threat immediately, yet product delays, strategic missteps, and the rise of Android eroded Nokia’s share, culminating in the sale of its handset division to Microsoft.
Why It Matters
Nokia’s decline shows how quick technological shifts and strategic choices can topple market leaders and reshape global tech supply chains.
