Microsoft Moves Nokia UK Website to Microsoft.com

It’s been a wonderful era for one of the pioneers in cellular and mobile communication. Who would have thought that a company that looked invincible just ten years back in vast amount of clout and shares it held in the world would be reduced to selling their company to Microsoft a decade later for just a cut of what they would have imagined their sales to be. That’s right. Without further ado, let me introduce Nokia, for those who have been keeping up with the news lately, to summarize, Nokia, a company which literally monopolized the mobile phone market for over fifteen years is now almost on the brink of total extinction. Just take a look at the Nokia UK Website to see how the company has plummeted into obscurity.

Unable to adapt with the rapidly expanding Android and iOS markets, Nokia’s flawed Operating System turned out to be the final straw. Microsoft played the reputation card well and saved some of Nokia’s dignity. Microsoft themselves are trying to gain a foothold in the smartphone arena which is almost completely made up of just Android and Apple phones. So Microsoft’s ploy is to rid itself of its association with Nokia and completely start afresh. Which is why one of their first plans of action include making the Nokia UK website redundant.

In a way, it is Nokia’s fault too. With investors and other experts advising them to integrate with the Android system or develop another operating system as worthy as their competitors, Nokia chose to rely on their loyal and reliable customer base to get them through but alas, it was all too late when the Lumia hit the market. The Nokia UK website still shows the Lumia as their latest smartphone seller but even though it did offer a small comeback for the Finnish giants, it was not enough for them to resist the offer from Microsoft.

This can be a lesson to all those working in the harsh technological and scientific circuit, adapt in time or perish. Nokia took too long to realize the repercussions of their actions and they finally even resorted to releasing an Android phone under their name, which turned out to be a bad move because by then Samsung, HTC and a whole lot of other mobile companies had advance superiorly. For now, you can log on to the Nokia UK website just for nostalgia’s sake. It is truly, the end of an era.

Though Microsoft has completely dumped the Nokia X series and now we will not see any Nokia Android based smartphone but still the Android community is trying its best to keep Nokia X series alive. If you are Nokia X user then you might be glad to hear that CyanogenMod for Nokia X is now finally available. CyanogenMod 11 based on Android KitKat 4.4 is ported to Nokia X. So, now you can also get the feel of Android 4.4.4 on your Nokia X.

Well, the current version of CyanogenMod for Nokia X is still in testing phase and has a lot of bugs. Three main features WiFi, Camera and Storage are not working at all. So, if you are interested in trying it out then it is highly recommended that you should wait for a a more stable version in which at least all basic and important features are working flawlessly.

Different Android developers at XDA are working together to get the major issues fixed for this CyanogenMod. We are also expecting to see the CyanogenMod for Nokia XL as well. If Android developers are able to fix the issues with second nightly ROM for Nokia X then it would certainly give a new life to Nokia X series.

Moreover, you will also get a bunch of Gapps with CyanogenMod for Nokia X and one can expect applications to work much better on it than highly customized Nokia UI. If you are interested in trying out this CyanogenMod 11 on your Nokia X then follow the link given in the source.
