The new phone struggles to match several of the unique features found in the iPhone due more to the patents that Apple and their partners have wrapped around the iPhone. For example the new Nokia touch-screen only allows one touch point at a time whereas the Apple iPhone allows users to zoom in and out using two fingers in a pinching or spreading motion.
Nokia Chief Executive Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo has admitted that his Company has lost market share to the iPhone however he is confident of grabbing share back with their new smart phone offering. According to Reuters, Nokia's share of the smart-phone market slipped to 47.5% in the second quarter from 50.8% a year earlier, Gartner said. BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. had the second-largest smart-phone market share, at 17.4%.
