Nokia sells millions of devices, but there is nothing really excited in them now. People are complaining about quality too. And you have many segments of market left. At least two examples:

if you want phone for difficult environments, you have 3720. Only GSM, small 2megapixel camera, not smartphone. Step ahead - 5500 was Symbian based (but it the same time had horrible covers, which were worse in 5140 and earlier).

if you want phone with 2SIM cards device, you don't have phone.

Instead of making hundreds "new" models they should create few, but rock stable and with features known from old devices. Exchangeable covers, big batteries, low SAR, etc. etc.

For now they're putting funds into at least three platforms (S40, Symbian, Maemo) and the last one seems to be developed by very small team, which doesn't have too many funds. And it makes funny situation - probably the most expensive device (I don't say about Vertu, because it's different story) doesn't have things known even from cheap models since 5 or 6 years (infamous MMS for example). They lost and simply try to reinvent wheel once again.

ehhh, where are times of phones with shooting cover (like 7110 ) and nice netmonitor... where phone looked and worked like phone.
