I disagree, turning Maemo into a phone OS was what killed it. It simply wasn't designed for that.

If the flagship phones had the specs the 770 had way back, it would've flown off the shelves.
Pretty much everything mid-to-high end they produced around that time was built around the same OMAP-1710 as the 770.

After the iPhone 2G, I wonder why Nokia didn't panic and make the damn Internet Tablet Phone instead of waiting until 2009
That is exactly what they did. They scrapped Elephanta and completely changed direction, only it took them 2 years + to get something release-able together and at the end the job was only half-done. Apparently nobody reads Brooks anymore :-/
