They do try to do something with N900 but again this is a flop for users point of view.
Glad you have an opinion but no premises are stated to support your rather bizarre, bold conclusions.

Yes, a HIG is very important. You can see a lot of work was put into that for Maemo 5, and the evolution of that we'll see in Maemo 6.

I nsist that they do not understand the market at all except for Geek ( this is a very low market).
they have a huge market penetration in non-geek markets!! Ever heard of S40? This is a market Apple and RIM will never reach, nor are they trying to.

My view of succes today is more oriented on Android phones. Poor market share today but a market with very high potential .
crazy! Android has no backwards compatibility whatsoever! Together with little to no market share that is not a good thing. Nokia is making their backwards compatibility with UNIX-based OS, and with Qt on both S60 and Maemo. Granted, does not mean automatic success. I'm not saying that. Each have their + and - in todays market... yet saying Nokia's strategy has no chance whatsoever is what you try to sketch, and thats a rather over-negative viewpoint out of sync with reality... nor well argued with premises supporting your conclusions.
