Muere la revolución. Spanish smartphone maker Geeksphone has confirmed it’s stepping out of the mobile making game almost six years after founding a startup business to build handsets for an enthusiast community of geeks looking for something a little different to mainstream smartphones.
In a note posted to its user forum, spotted earlier by Tech.eu, Geeksphone writes that the mobile ecosystem has moved on and its founding concept of serving a niche geek community is no longer a viable way to differentiate a mobile handset business.
“The reality of the company today is very different from what it was in the beginning, since the concept of innovation based on a passionate geek community, talented and creative, has now much less sense and it is a differentiation, which currently generates little interest in the mobile environment in relation to the 2009 date of our creation,” it writes.

This is too bad that Geeksphone is no longer making phones since their phones seem pretty nice. I guest, more people are buying budget phones made by Asian phone makers, or just buying an Apple or Samsung phone because they are popular/trendy.
