Unfortunately I can't stand the smell of brainfarts so please give me a call when Nokia actually loses it since all your ranting is totally obsolete.

Nokia "has already lost it, numerous times" to Motorola & Sony-Erricson so far... or have they?
Yeah don't forget to look back also, these numbers fluctuate in between huge intervals of time thus disproving your point.

As far as I know apple has barely withdrawn the support for 2G although the device still sells (that to blow the "wow, one phone only myth").

And to conclude apple has sold in the past 3 years ~70 million devices (or so they claim) that including 2G and 3G buybacks.
Nokia has sold ~70mil smartphones last year only + another 400million simple phones => if things were really to go down there's be no issue to keep Symbian and Maemo afloat due to a huge continuously increasing profit, no debts and huge bank deposits.

As for stock and investors perhaps you'd like to see how that relates to advertising and how much nokia is spending on that?
Or perhaps looking back on how poor apple was doing you could believe this is just a lucky fluctuation & they'll drop below 0 with useless products like iPad and lack of innovation.
Then again you could look at Nokia's steady past and expect them to grow

Another proof is the development of Maemo which was a niche device aimed at a very small market and selling in 3-4 countries around the world. That's quite excentric of someone with a decreasing profit, to research and build a device for a handful of people, don't you think?

So seriously, don't bother to find arguments for me and quote someone else

You may quote me though when:
  • Somebody manages to outsell nokia (by shall we say 20 million smartphones)
  • Stock price is 0
  • Symbian or Meego get canceled
  • And any of the above for more than 2 years in a row (seen how Sony rose later? from the dead I tell you )
