Nokia Downfall: Why Nokia Fell to the iPhone and Android, From Symbian to Microsoft

Why did Nokia fall? This Nokia history documentary tells the Nokia downfall story from 2007 to 2013: how the Finnish company that sold about half the world's smartphones lost to the iPhone and Android, why Symbian could not keep up, Stephen Elop's Burning Platform memo, Windows Phone and Nokia Lumia, and the Nokia Microsoft deal. In this video: the kingdom of Symbian, January 2007, the fear inside, and the sale to Microsoft.
