You don't know that. NOKIA's sales were growing right up until Elop publicly deprecated Symbian/MeeGo and the N9 received very favourable reviews. Real world facts seem rather at odds with your baseless assertion.

Even now with zero marketing, limited availability and very outdated hardware NOKIA's Symbian devices continue to outsell their WPx devices which have had enormous marketing budgets lavished on them by NOKIA, Microsoft and AT&T.
You keep repeating this stuff about how great Symbian and N9 are/were. It seems to me like you have either never used these devices and/or you have no ability to compare with competitors. I mean, have you used N8 when it came out? I mean, that was one of the worst touchscreen phones of all time. I couldnt type a sentence without getting angry and cursing the day I bought this abomination. N9 is the same when placed against competitors (iphone, etc). Where have you been to make such ridiculous statements? NOKIA OSs were going down, burning fast, and they had to change the course. So stop being apologizer without with your sales numbers that belie the inevitable death of NOKIA supported OSs. No wonder you are the only one left buying NOKIA OS devices. No wonder their sales are so bad. They should have transitioned 4 years ago to Android or something better.

READ MY LIPS: NOKIA IS NOT A SOFTWARE COMPANY.
