The thing is that smartphones used to be a geek ting, or at least something you had a special interest in to actively go out and get. Part two of that "thing" is that Symbian in it's S60 incarnation worked just as a dumbphone, but with much added functionality of course, apps multitasking etc etc. Hence the ordinary ignorant user could end up with a Symbian phone or a S40 phone, it was more a matter of how much money he put into the phone. But only the ones with special interest knew how to use the functionality of Symbian. Then came Apple and later Google. They redefined the very essence of what a smartphone was. Connectivity, multitasking, functionality - unimportant. Usability, touch screen, simplicity, app store - all important. At that time Nokia was a bunch of headless chickens. Instead of revamping Symbian, they open sourced it and lost 2-3 years in the process while launching disasters such as the N97. Eventually the whole symbian saga ended in a crash. Maemo was left out in the cold to a huge bunch of utter geeks with no sense of focus, discipline or management. The N900 is the result of that. If they had stayed on that track, producing geek devices for geeks, they would have a niche market now. A small market, but a viable one. But - they had to compete with the iPhone, the result is the N9. A device that is a big nothing. Way too crippled to be cool, way too poorly engineered (software vice) to compete with Android/iOS. Top score in HW design though. IMO Jolly is doing it again. They are going for this big nothing. They are actively using a recipe that does not now or ever produce a good end result.
