Actually that reality is very well recognized within Nokia's walls. I won't defend the overall strategy discussed here, because I'm not 100% in alignment, but don't confuse apparent lack of recognition with true lack of recognition. Nokia just has this often annoying tendency to be much MUCH slower with new product (and especially paradigm) development than many people are willing to accept. Sometimes that manifests as an apparent cluelessness, but trust me-- the guys involved are very sharp at what they do. That just doesn't always translate well for many.

EDIT: and guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings, but you'll really need to be patient another week or so for a lot of the madness to be sorted out. A LOT of people are on holiday (self included).
