If you had used Android you'd know Symbian can compete. Extra functionality adds extra complexity, this is something both Android and Symbian have to deal with that iOS doesn't.

Android outsells iPhone now. Android on Samsung alone outsells iPhone now.
For NOKIA trying to be Apple is suicide. Forget Apple, Samsung and Android is the real competition.

So NOKIA have sacrificed bigger markets like China and Europe in order to gain a handful of sales in North America? How is that 'succeeding' or 'doing the right thing'?

Clearly the Lumias don't have what the '99%' want, they only seem to have what the 2% want.
