00:00However, the company's success was not without its challenges.
00:03In the early 2000s, Nokia faced stiff competition from new players such as Samsung and LG,
00:09who were able to offer more advanced features at lower prices.
00:13Despite these challenges, Nokia persevered and continued to invest in research and development.
00:18In 2007, the company introduced the Nokia N97, a smartphone that featured a touchscreen interface
00:25and advanced internet capabilities.
00:27While the device was not commercially successful, it did lay the groundwork for the company's
00:32future flagship product, the Nokia N1.
00:35In 2008, Nokia partnered with Microsoft to develop a new operating system specifically
00:40for Nokia devices.
00:42This collaboration resulted in the creation of Symbian Ana, a powerful and intuitive operating
00:48system that was designed to enhance the user experience.
00:51The first device to feature Symbian Ana was the Nokia E7, a business-oriented smartphone
00:56that was released in 2011.
00:58The device was well-received by critics and customers alike, with many praising its sleek
01:03design and advanced functionality.
01:05Following the success of the Nokia E7, Nokia continued to release a range of smartphones powered
01:10by Symbian Ana, including the Nokia 808, which featured a high-resolution camera, and the
01:16Nokia Lumia 900, which was the first Nokia device to have a color touchscreen.
01:20These devices were popular among consumers who valued their reliability, durability, and
01:25ease of use.
01:26But, despite the success of Symbian Ana, Nokia was still facing stiff competition from other
01:31manufacturers such as Apple and Android.
