I'd still say the lesson hasn't been learned quite yet:

Elop confirmed that the orphan N9 Linux phone will be "regional" only, and that volume shipments of Windows-based devices won't materialise until next year.

That's not saying that the N9 is the Nokia savior, it's not. But to take a potentially selling phone and limit its distribution and continue to push WP7 - I'd love to see real world numbers for interest in Nokia's WP7 future offerings - isn't a lesson learned.

I'd say a lesson learned would be to introduce a Mango phone sooner than later and see how well it sells. And start with a Plan B just in case - this "all-in" strategy has never worked for Nokia.
