You could write a book of Symbians failures. In 2008 Symian was meant to have major overhaul, but supposedly stopped by Symbian Foundation that brought companies that where not really interested and slower decission making so that aged OS looked even more old. I mean Palm has bern faster to transform than Nokia. Symbian was going to be dead one way or another, this was one of them.If your home market(Europe) isn't buying them you are in the deep side of the pool already. If Nokia would have made the strategy clear, inspired the company and made real decissions to one direction 2-3 years ago things might be different, but Nokia still had small window() of time left when the company is still relevant in west and thankfully did it. It's not what i or the linux community wanted, but at least they still have slight change of staying in the industry rather than having slow dead and no change of having any weight to make a difference next year.
