No chance for them. Their users are dying out, and not being replaced. Their technology is stuck in the 1990′s. It’s not relevant to people today. You can’t get somebody who had an iPod since they were 10 to get excited about rebooting Windows. They want to make YouTube movies, not defrag their disks. They want immediately functionality, not virus-scans and software licensing keys.

It doesn't matter how much a carrier promotes these phones. There are no customers. Since AT&T adopted iPhone (5 years ago,) 6 out of every 10 sales they make are iPhones. (Across all phones, not just "smartphones.") The same is true at Verizon (2 years) and Sprint (6 months.) That means the non-Apple phone market at AT&T/Verizon/Sprint is only 4 out of every 10 customers. And that includes feature phone customers, all of Android, all of BlackBerry, all the other phones. There is no great untapped market of potential smartphone buyers out there. Same as there was no great untapped market of music player buyers out there for JVC in 1990 or Zune in 2005. If you were going to buy a full-on iPod-style digital music player in 2005, you were already on your second iPod by then. Everybody else was happy with whatever music player was already in their car or their home, or with an MP3 player that was built into waterproof headphones or some other niche. Today, there are lots of people who want a free phone with a low monthly cost and they make calls only. Those people were able to resist a $0-$99 iPhone for almost 2 years now, when an iPod nano with a fraction of its features goes for $149. They are not pumped up to buy Lumia smartphones for $99. > It is worth noting things could be better [for Nokia] in the
