Nokia doesn't need a great selling device, but a great selling portfolio.
Your comment about selling 10-20 models is baseless considering Nokia said they are going to cut back on the quantity of models sold. Companies they do bad cut back on the models that don't do well. It's not good business practice and costs too. Just like car companies cut back on models to be competitive, so will Nokia as they have been outpaced lately.

If their sales are going down and they don't care about other markets (US, etc.) then the decrease in sales can only be contributed to the areas they do care about....Europe, etc. You can't have a decrease in sales in places you never had sales. When you read article about the Iphone and Droid doing well in those Nokia saturated markets you can only assume those smart phones are contributing to the decrease in nokia smartphone sales - again look at the numbers before telling me I am wrong, or just look at their stock price.

Fan boy out all you want to, but you can't deny their sales figures are going down. I own a N97mini, N900, and sold off my Iphone awhile back. I want them to do well as I like their products. I am just stating the fact.
