That single sentence tells me that Nokia has completely lost the plot. If Nokia cannot see that iPhone and Android represent the computing space, then Nokia is done for.
imo Nokia sees that Android and iPhone represent the computing space.
Only users still in the "look honey, what my phone can do" -phase do not realise it yet and keep accepting closed operating systems with privacy breaches beyond imagination.
They walk around with mobile computers accepting the OS maker to access their device remotely, log their location and web whereabouts, accept closed OSes and sell their solls for a 13 per dozen funny app...
Once they wake up they might have look at a more serious Maemo / Meego.

Symbian = cheap and smart enough phone that lasts on battery and is business feature rich.

Meego / Maemo = mobile computing (done correctly)

The smartphone is dead, long live the pocket computer.
