the smartphone subscriptions were growing day by day and there was plenty of room for alternatives like iphone like android etc. symbian didn't lose as much as people thought, simply smartphone numbers grow. compare the numbers of smartphones used today and back in 2007 mr. delusional elop.

please answer me this, if symbian died with iphone, how did it survive to have the most market share up untill 2010-2011 where elop burned the platform? when shares hit rock bottom in one night and never could recover after that hit.
So besides the US everywhere is third world? That's a nice observation from you keep it up.
I dont think you understand much, do you? Symbian was a goner as soon as Android started copycating iOS and licensing it to cheap OEMs who started to flood market. Finns killed Symbian before Elop because they knew it was besieged and losing marketshare everywhere they looked.They kept dropping prices to sell it, and were contemplating frantically what to replace it with. First they looked in house, at Maemo, Meego team, etc. They tried, but clearly it just didnt work out. They had Maemo out in 2009. They should have produced something by 2010, before Elop came. why, because if you are planning, by the time N900 was realeased you should have another device lined up and ready for production. Clearly something was very amiss at NOKIA, since it took them sooo long to make N9. They were changing OSs like a tech whore, unable to come to a conclusion, and they clearly didnt like any of it, hence they went for outsider to shake up the company. Samsung began to align with Android since 2008 and prepared to drop Symbian at the latest in 2009. It takes years for a company to make a turnaround, and that was the problem with NOKIA. They should have weaned themselves of Symbian in 2009, or began to do that.....they tried with meego and maemo and we see the results...bought by few mutants around here...
