A company with arrogant management that was used to being its own biggest competitor for too many years.

One single Nokia device to rule and outclass all previous ones was never meant to be.

Any Nokia selling thousands if not hundred thousands of copies could potentially save 6 number digits figures when leaving out some vital RAM all while insuring users would still have incentive left to upgrade.

Look at how Samsung is depleting its cards quickly - they just introduced 6GB chips and those will probably find their way into the high end smartphones of 2016-17 by lack of other sales arguments.

Soon you can run 5 virtual Maemo 5's on one Samsung (without the interesting hardware bits).

Nokia N900 was step 4 out of 5 so a successor with 512 - 1GB was in the pipeline.. It would have had an amazing and had a unique life span and sadly for Nokia, with such a device in our hands they would not be missed half that much as today.

The biggest miracle and nice goodbye message is the Nokia 808 with a massive total overkill 512 Nokia RAM on Symbian
