Nokia splits: Smartphones, mobile phones, and Solutions

The competition is starting to seem too much for Nokia to handle on

it's own. And so they're applying the East India Companys ideology of

divide and conquer on to themselves.

The Finnish handset maker is splitting it's phone business into three :

1. Smartphones, which will handle the nseries, eseries, xseries and
the other premium phones. It will focus entirely on expensive handsets
with cutting edge technology.

2. Mobilephones, which will focus on the conventional cell phones,
hoping for the quantity of sales to drive profits.

3. Solutions, they'll provide us with gaming and other services common
to both the other sections.

I wonder what happened to the "United we stand, Divided we fall" thing.
