Hello - long time listener, first time post, anyhow I feel Nokia has fallen into the trap that many big companies have been caught in before.

My parallel example would be the big American auto manufacturers such as GM/Ford - competitors from Japan were always present in the US market but the American firms became so entrenched in a certain way of working they stopped all real R+D. By this I mean real R+D is to try totally new approaches, to break with the past - BUT to also offer the chance for the fruits from R+D to be fed into production.

To me the S60 devices are suffering from a complete collapse of mindshare - development for S60 is difficult - although Nokia is desperately attempting to bring QT to S60. The UI is tired. TIRED. TIRED. But they are unable to produce a better feel; or they just don't care;

I have an N900 - with a few tweaks to the phone UI app I'm sure it could work better and enter the mainstream. If Maemo had been given cellular capable hardware far far earlier Nokia would not be in this mess now.
