Really? I thought they did rather well in the lower-end and mid-range smartphone segment and the ultra-cheap dumb-phones. The Lumia 610 is sold in the 150-170 euro price range, and it looks rather good compared to similar priced Android phones.
The Lumia 800 is dropping in price rather nice and competes with the iPhone 3GS (together with some very nice Samsung phones.)
Also the ultracheap Nokia 100 is everywhere and a lovely dumb-phone for 20-30 euros.

Nokia currently doesn't have any real "high-end" phones. Lumia 900 and pureview 808 have some high-end features (LTE/camera) but both are seriously lacking in others. That is definitely the biggest problem.
Maybe Nokia also doesn't have clear plans for the 50-100 euro range, but the competition also don't really have any really good products in that price range imho.
