Nokia’s attempt to regain the traction in the mobile market is turning out to be more difficult than the company once thought. Four major wireless carriers in Europe have said that <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/03/nokia-lumia-900-review/">Nokia’s Lumia smartphones</a> are “not good enough” to compete with Apple’s iPhone or <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2012/04/16/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-launch-details-reveal-multiple-models-official-device-of-2012-olympics/">Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones</a>, <em>Reuters</em> reported on Tuesday. Nokia bet big on Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform last year, however the gamble has yet to pay off according to the report. “No one comes into the store and asks for a Windows phone,” said an executive in charge of mobile devices at a European operator. The company is now playing catch up with <a href="http://www.bgr.com/tag/Apple">Apple</a> and <a href="http://www.bgr.com/tag/Google">Google</a> after suffering a huge decline that hurt its image in the high-end market, and according to Reuters’s sources, Windows Phone might be making matters worse. “Nokia have given themselves a double challenge: to restore their credibility in terms of making hardware smartphones and succeed with the Microsoft Windows operating system, which lags in the market,” the executive said. “If the Lumia with the same hardware came with Android in it and not Windows, it would be much easier to sell.” <span id="more-135902"></span>
