For well over a hundred years, Nokia made Finland proud. It was Finland's Apple. I'm an American and I'm sad that its over too.

Well if Nokia had been making Finland proud for over 100 years, they certainly weren't doing it with mobile phones the whole time! ;)

Nokia is an extraordinarily tenacious company. They've been pivoting since before pivoting was cool.

Nokia still exists in its 3 business lines: Networks, HERE, and their Advanced Technologies business.

Now will they ever reach the heights of what Nokia was to consumers around the world? I doubt it. But I've learned to never say never in this world...

As an American you are proud of Apple? Seriously?
I'm proud of my country's technological accomplishments. Apple is a part of that history.
As an American I am proud of Apple. What is wrong with that?
There's bunch of big companies in USA which are... you know... less evil and more innovative than Apple.
in my opinion, no company has contributed more to modern computers or cellphones than apple.
