Nokia E71 vs. Blackberry Curve 8900: Nokia wins?


Hello, folks! Today, I'm gonna tell facts about battle between the Nokia E71 and Blackberry Curve 8900. Sounds fun? No, it's the history of the 'real' battle! 

If you're in Indonesia, then you might know, Blackberry is almost everywhere. In cellular stores, if you asked for Blackberry, they will always say 'We have it!'. If you go to a mall, you'll see at least one people using Blackberry. How the Blackberry come into Indonesian market? Till now its still unclear, whether peoples bring Blackberry phones from outside world and introduced it to their friends, or retailers imported them and sell some few quantities of 'em, and later became popular, this still remain a mystery.

But clearly, this is a thread for the longtime successful cellular phone maker 'Nokia', as their sales of phones dropped drastically after the unknown introduces of Blackberry to Indonesian market. So, they introduced Nokia E71, the direct competitor of Blackberry 8900. This product did sold to peoples who's searching the cheaper alternative of Blackberry. But, it's too late, Blackberry phones are already raging in Indonesia. Peoples are forced to change their Nokia into Blackberry, as their friends are using Blackberries too. Nokia E71 ended up as a failure product, with minimal sales and low market share percentage. This makes Blackberry the ultimate, reasonless winner in Indonesia.

But, it's the other side in worldwide. Reviewers praised Nokia E71, while Blackberry 8900, remained silent as a competitor. What made reviewers praised Nokia was the exceptionally smaller size compared with the larger corporate Blackberry 8900 with almost same features. Nokia E71 also used less power and lasts longer than Blackberry, though by sacrificing by using a slower hardware and smaller screen than Blackberry. Reviewers also said that Nokia E71 was the best QWERTY phone made by Nokia combined with the best Symbian S60 OS. Nokia also has 3G feature which Blackberry doesn't have. Because of many positive reviews, it became 'Mobile Choice's Best Smartphone of The Year 2008'. This made Nokia E71 the ultimate winner in worldwide.

This battle seem to be ended. Well, it's ended because Nokia E71 was introduced in year 2008, and the battle of them both started in 2009. As time changed, people in worldwide remained silent with their choices, whether they picked E71 or 8900, we only know that Blackberry reigns reasonless in Indonesia.
