In a plan which Nokia announced late last year, the flagship store on 57th between 5th and Madison Avenue officially shut its doors on May 23rd. The stores closure has been a result of competitors such as Apple which is only a few blocks away. Another reason is the lack of interest/popularity of Nokia products. When cell phones first started to achieve unthought capabilities, such as color screen and a camera, Nokia had pioneered the mobile market. Practically 4 out of 5 Americans owned a Nokia phone in their past.
