1. Call Quality
Nokia is known for its circuitry to handle the RF Reception and providing the best call reception quality. You won’t see users complaining much about the noise or the disturbances within Nokia phones unless its a problem of the telecom service provider. So, the primary objective of a mobile phone i.e. to serve us with better and clearer sound when we talk , is served by Nokia perfectly. And if you are a person who is accustomed to other mobile phone manufacturers, then you know that even Apple iPhone and Sony Ericsson are guilty of it.
2. Hardware
You can be assured of the quality that Nokia provides in your phone hardware. The circuits are far more durable and reliable than any of the other mobile phone available in the market. I am using a single Nokia phone for 6 years and I had to take it to the service centre only once during this period for a trivial problem. That speaks for the truth I am talking about.
3. Battery
The Battery life of Nokia mobile phones is longer than many other cellphones available in the market. People who talk a lot prefer Nokia than any other brands. They always know that the battery will not run out in the middle of the call. iPhone has had this problem with battery life in the past and that hasn’t been solved yet. Nokia leaves others miles behind when we consider the longevity of the battery.
4. Robustness
Everyone knows that Nokia mobiles are truly rock solid. I want to share my experience with respect to this. I dropped my Nokia the very next day I bought it. I dropped it on the staircase and it bounced to nearly 12 steps down. My heart pumped out with the fear of losing the phone on the second day. But what I found when I reached downstairs is that the phone is fully functional and it only had a few scratch in its body. Since then, it slipped off my hand many a times but it did not refuse to function. Thanks to Nokia for making such rugged phones. It would really be the worst thing if I had to take my phone to service centre or had to buy a new one every time I dropped my phone.
5. Wide Product Range
Nokia has a vast and huge list of mobile phones. Nokia mobile phones are available for every consumer groups, starting from simple and durable phones for the low income groups and high-end phones for those who can afford to spend money. So regardless of you being a corporate honcho or a fresher into the world of economy, Nokia has something for you. The sheer range of products is enviable and at the same time the success mantra of Nokia’s dominance.
6. Customer Service
The Customer Care of Nokia which they call the Nokia Care, handles the complaints very efficiently satisfying their customers. I had a problem with the display of my Nokia Phone. I took it to the Nokia Care and they very quickly fixed it and gave it back. Its just the trust they implement on the customer’s mind, is really appreciable.
Hope you remember the battery bursting incidents of Nokia mobile phones in India. The BL-5C battery, which was the culprit in this case, was promptly replaced with no questions asked. They also helped people with a temporary site to go and put their unique manufacturing id and see if they needed to change the battery or not. Believe me, the call wasn’t that easy keeping in mind the number of battery parts they had to change.
7. Reliability
Nokia really has become a brand that people can trust upon. The error rates or crash rates of Nokia phones are very low. It will not dump you when you need this phone. And petty may this be but still, Nokia has this trust thing going in favour of it. People can blindly trust Nokia in Asian Countries. and not to mention, Nokia has deservingly earned this place.
8. Price
The price tags of every Nokia mobile phone is very reasonable. I mean, I can still get a GSM mobile phone for as less as Rs. 1200 in India with all the basic features and that will last long enough to pay me back with my dues.
9. Experience
Nokia is the largest cellphone manufacturer in the world with about 40% of market share with its competitors nowhere near its sales volume. They know the world of mobile phone more than any other. They have ages of experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of smart handsets in current portfolio. That helps them to evolve and thereby nourish our needs.
10. Marketing Strategy
One of the main reasons behind the success of their mobile phones is their marketing strategy. The main source of earning is the popularity of their phones in the Asian market. China is making phone designs/softwares specific for the region. For instance, since many rural Chinese aren’t familiar with the romanized transliteration system that most cell phones use to input Chinese for text messages, Nokia developed two phones with software that lets them write characters with a stylus. And for India, Nokia launched two India-specific models, which included a flashlight, dust cover, and slip-free grip (handy during India’s scorching, sweaty summers). They also included some softwares in several regional languages which made Nokia a success
