You've an interesting definition of 'uninteresting'
I think it'd be interesting to see Nokia's financial performance of their low\mid-range handset.
They are simply saying what everybody knows. They are too late with Symbian⁴ and way too late with killer devices using that OS. The E-series is still selling, the N-series isn't all that good, and the higher mid range is being eaten alive by Sony Ericsson right now (and SE is also eating the iPhone by the way, so the iPhone is really the least of Nokias problems). The last good seller from Nokia was the 5800, and now they really have nothing to compete with. The N8 will come soon (and I am getting one ) but this phone cannot compete with the X10 mini and the X8, it is way too geeky.

The big winner is of course Android and SE. The big looser is Nokia, but also iPhone. Samsung with Bada will also come before Nokia can do anything. Samsung will also take big chunks of both Nokia and iPhone.

This is in the international arena where 95% of phones are sold. What will happen in the en-bubble-geek-world-ruled-by-operators called the USA, I have no idea.

But who cares, in a years time Nokia is back with a vengeance
