Nokia Turnaround faces another Bump as Flagship Smartphone N8 faces Power Problems

Nokia is trying to turnaround its sinking fortunes with a radical change in strategy which involves New Hardware – N8,Software – Meego Operating System with Intel,AMD and Management – Elop from Microsoft.However the changes don’t seem to be working as of now.White Box Mobile Phones from China continue to erode Nokia’s marketshare in emerging markets while Google and Apple finish it off in the high end smartphone segments.N8 with its 12 Megapixel Camera was supposed to be Nokia’s answer to the iPhone and Android handsets Galaxy,Incredible and Droid.However N8 is already facing teething problems with Delays,Lack of Sex Appeal and the latest  power problems with some of its handsets.This is not going to do any good to Nokia’s smartphone prospects as it lacks the aura of the iPhone.Despite some Signal problems,iPhone sales have continued to power through while Nokia does not have anything near the same brand power.It is playing the role of a challenger despite its dominant marketshare in the world smartphone market and can’t afford any missteps.
