I think it a quote from an article written 6 years after the fact based on anonomous contributions from ex-Nokia employees who were pretty much all in the MAemo camp, and thus likely to be a bit jaundiced in their views about Symbian. Whilst they have some (perhaps many) legitimate gripes about the politics that did for Maemo, the quote is substantially misleading. Here's an alternative point of view from Michal Jerz of my-symbian.com: His point really - and keeping vaguely on topic concerning share price - is that Nokia made some poor management decisions that had long term repercussions.
