There's an element of truth here for so long as Nokia are playing catch-up with the market.

Note that I'm not saying they're playing catch-up with the hardware: Parts of the N900 and the N8 design are really good, and would be really great without too much extra effort. Stick a capacitive touchscreen on the N900 and slim it down slightly? That'd be amazing.

In terms of software though, Symbian doesn't quite cut it any more in terms of awesome marketing and mindshare. MeeGo might, if they hit the nail on the head, but it just isn't ready yet. Switching to Android, when thought about rationally, doesn't seem like a bad move.

Science-fiction? Or painful reality?
