Hindsight:

-Nokia NEEDED to release the N8 in early 2010 and introduce Symbian Belle with it.
-Nokia NEEDED to purchase Palm for $1.3B
-Nokia NEEDED to release Harmattan-WebOS (Qt support) smartphones in late 2010 (penetrate Nth American market)
-Nokia NEEDED to step their game up in mid-2011
eg/ 4.7" qHD, OMAP4430, 1,800mAh, 1GB RAM, microSD, microHDMI, microUSB-OTG, 8mm thin with shaved bezel ....differed form-factors
-(2012) Now NOKIA is the 3rd largest ecosystem, and possibly catch up to Apple then Android in the long-run
