After the launch of the n95 they stopped being the same company. Negative reviews started pouring in on their newer models (96/97/n81) and the ngage 2.0 platform got lackluster support from both publishers and customers. Yet, those same dedicated symbian websites and blogs that had supported Nokia for years couldn't write anything bad about the company because they feared being blacklisted from events and stuff. It's like they were covering their ears and singing while their business crumbled around them. I distinctly remember reading about this on allboutsymbian or my-symbian, don't quite recall which one.
and than came n900 and n8 and company started to go the right way until microsoft came into play...
