This is how a Helsingin Sanomat journalist tried to save Nokia
12 Oct 2013 • hs.fiThe [Nokia] manager took his own iPhone home that same evening. He studied it so enthusiastically that it caught the interest of his four-year-old daughter. As an experiment, he gave the telephone to his daughter, and she learned to use it immediately.
In the evening as the parents were going to bed, the drowsy four-year-old appeared at their bedroom door with a question: “Can I take that magic telephone and put it under my pillow tonight?”
It was at that was the moment that the Nokia executive understood that his company was in trouble.
Such a cute story. Anyone in technology who didn't see the writing on the wall when the iPhone came out really missed the bus. I stood in line 4-5 hours and paid $699 for the original iPhone and haven't looked back since.
