Nokia just lost its edge when apple brought out its smartphone.

to be fair Psion also went the same way.

both Psion and nokia made 2 huge mistakes which cost them the market that android did not.

1. expensive softwear (android is free or just a few pounds/dollars).

2. expensive add ons. to buy a charger or anything for these was expensive. with andoide its just a usb charger.

Even nokia in most phones would not klet you plug a standered headphones in. you had to use thers. and often it was a different one for each nokia phone.

Psion was first one in the pda market - 1986.

I am a bit of a pda fan and over the years have bought many.

I got the Psion Series 3a which i loved.

I later got one of there more modern ones. It was great too.
