Same goes with n95-8gb, hell even the n97 would have sold a lot.... but i think nokia is really pushing for a free market even at the expense of losing market share.
This is one dimensional thinking. It takes more than just lower price to make a product as appealing as Apple (or RIM's offering). A plain 'ol smartphone doesn't take what it takes to conquer the market, imho.

RIM has all the real-time enterprise messaging angle covered. They do their lock-ins one enterprise at a time.

And on the iPhone?
- iPod (yes, the media player on the iphone is called the ipod and gives 100% functionality of an ipod).
- AppStore
- iTunes (+Store) integration
- There's the brand thing
- Good design and functionality that appeals to the masses.
