But MeeGo and symbian^4 are very promising platforms and the current stock valuation doesn't reflect that...
Just playing a bit of devil's advocate, but both of you seem to forget that 2010's barely part of that chart. It shows the development of the last 10 years, and the numbers actually don't address neither the recent influx of poor marketing decisions in the last couple of months (I wouldn't interpret too much into the drop at the beginning of 2010 - for some strange reason, Nokia's value seems to drop like that at the beginning of every year), nor the potentially good marketing decisions regarding MeeGo and Ovi Store (opening it up for private developers).

They also don't say much about the impact of the iPhone - the huge drop in 07/08 affected Apple just as much, it's just that thanks to their viral marketing strategies they seem to have recovered fairly quickly.
