I don't think you can pinpoint the issue to just a management and structural issues. This is way more advanced than that. Much more issues are in affect here. Even luck is a factor. You need to do a serious analyze with tons of talk with people inside and outside of nokia to be able to create a statement like that with any certenty.

Actually, I think what most people find great about the N9 is the gestures and how they create a gestured based and not a button based interface. No doubt the rest of the UI is simple and elegant, but, it's nothing groundbreaking.

If I Recall Correctly, there has internal struggles between even symbian teams also. Each Symbian device supported by a specific team. In addition to nokia own proprietary api, most symbian device have poorly api compatibility. e.g. query wrong screen resolution etc.

I think the informative integrated event home screen, dedicated multitasking home screen are the greatest part of N9 ui. Just my two cent;)

And I agree, not to mention the integration of services (Skype from the dialer and FB chat from the messaging app, even though Maemo had that too), but, ask most people about the N9 and they'll tell you about swiping. It's just that impressive.

You didnt seem to understand the article. NOKIA was going to be number 100. pre-Elop guys new it and jumped ship. Elop is the fall guy if thinks fail, he is a hero if they succeed. Blame pre-Elop Nokia, not Elop. Its like saying that Obama caused economic collapse in America.
