I gotta disagree here. Symbian is still tops in terms of market share, and last I checked... 100 million phones is not anything to scoff at. They've improved their numbers, and Nokia happens to be one of the few phone manufacturers with two prongs into the smartphone market.

Right now, I'd just have to say that Nokia looks a bit unfocused. We don't know all of what's down the pipe 100% - and the requirement of patience for all of it to unfold is a bit much to ask in this impatient world we live in now.

It's a damn shame I was hoping Nokia would step up to the challenge.
They did step up to the plate. First with Maemo5. Now with MeeGo. Once all of the pieces are in place, then let's revisit this part of the discussion.

I was kinda proud of a european company holding it's own against 2 american companies.
Apple and who? RIM is Canadian.

As Nokia would say "The future is dull the future is a mildy insipid grey"
I'd say the future is still bright. And despite my critical as hell outlook against the blatant gaps in their offerings right now; I'd say the future is still bright.

Just... we don't know all of it yet.
