Nokia doesn’t seem to want to give up on the whole iPhone challenge thing. Now they have come full force ahead with XpressMucic 5800 to challenge the supremacy of Apple iPhone. This time Nokia is also challenging the iTunes by offering its own music service that provides customers with thousands of music songs every month.

I do like this phone a lot on the paper. But Nokia has tried and failed numerous times in its attempts to kill the iPhone. Now they are trying to do it by using a touchscreen phone. I don’t think anything major going to come out of this whole story. The market is simply not the same as it was a year ago with the introduction fo Google phone. Nokia is literally faced with a two-headed monster in the smartphone market.

While it is known that June 9th will be the day that iPhone 2.0 will be released, there are several so-called iPhone killers that will be released around the same time. Of course, we all know that nothing these other guys have come up with so far has managed to properly challenge the iPhone. But Sprint believes that their “Instinct” will put up a good challenge against the iPhone. But here is why it will not:

1. It looks pretty much like an iPhone copycat. It surely has some nice features but Apple is a brilliant marketing company. So even if Instinct was better than the iPhone, which is not by the way, it would still struggle to get attention when the iPhone 2.0 is released.
2. Sprint is not exactly the best service provider out there. So despite them claiming that people should jump on this soon before it’s gone, I believe people would rather wait a few weeks for the iPhone than Instinct.
3. You can’t kill an iPhone with an iPhone lite, now can you? Most cell companies are struggling to really come up with any original ideas and that’s what’s hurting them. In my mind that will continue for the foreseeable future.
