Previously, research company Canalis said that the share of Symbian system mobile phones that had maintained its dominant position for 10 years had been surpassed by Google’s Android system models in the fourth quarter of 2010.

According to StrategyAnalytics data, the revenue of Apple, Nokia and RIM (Blackberry Mobile Phone Manufacturer) manufacturers accounted for 64% of the total revenue of the global smartphone market. The report said that despite this phase, Apple's shipments accounted for only 16%, accounting for 29% of revenue, ranking first. Nokia's overall shipments were higher than Apple's and its revenue share was only 20%, ranking second.

According to the latest statement from Nokia’s president and CEO Stephen Elop, Nokia’s first Windows Phone 7 phone has been developed, but the scheduled sales time is still 2012.

The issue of low gross profit margins for domestic mobile phone brands has also occurred in Nokia's smartphone product line. Recently, third-party market research firm StrategyAnalytics released a report showing that although shipments are much higher than Apple's, Nokia's smart phones (all Symbian systems) will lag behind Apple's 9% revenue.
