"The Fifteen Most Hated American Companies Of 2010"

"Nokia: Although it is the world’s largest cellphone company, Nokia’s (NYSE: NOK) reputation for the quality of its smartphones is in tatters. The company received the worst possible grades in JD Power’s 2010 Mobile Phone and Smartphone ratings for customer satisfaction for physical design, ease of operation and overall satisfaction. The only smartphone company with worse scores was Palm. According to a recent Brandwatch study, Nokia received the third greatest amount of bad press on Twitter. In Brand Z’s annual rankings, the Nokia name has lost 58% of its value in the last year. Shares of Nokia dropped 20% in 2010."
 
Lol at ccrows comment!

Any website that goes with a sensationalist early post like this one, panning one of the world's largest corporations for effect, AND uses JD Powers (or Consumer Reports) junk ratings, earns an instant ignore!
 
It's a smart selection if driving traffic to your site is the goal, although Nokia isn't American. Maybe they mean hated in America? In any case, Nokia elicits highly disparate views from people. A lot love it and a lot hate it and statistically speaking, that's a very good thing for traffic. This effect is likely observed within America, and then again across the globe when comparing with America.

That's why a lot of blogs make Apple their bread and butter. A lot love it, a lot hate it and the collision in the middle delivers traffic.
 
This. Love 'em or hate 'em, in the U.S., Nokia is mainly known for their flip dumb phones or candy bar phones, i.e. the company isn't in most people's frontal lobe as far as awareness. I'm not sure how they would be included in this list.

*My* most hated? It would be a tie between Cablevision and Citibank.
