Big corporations don't rush into the best available technology, they ease into it, expanding their "lifetime" by continuing to offer upgrades to their previous device.

Prime example: Apple
1) See how the first iPhone lacked 3G when it was an established technology (and all competition had it)
2) See how the iPhone 3G had ARM11 processor (while Cortex A8 was available and the competition closed in on it)
3) See how the iPhone 3GS lacked a good screen and kept it on a low resolution.
4) See how the iPhone 4 has Cortex A8 when they could've easily adopted Cortex A9 architecture, or has other short-comings that could've been prevented (cant think of it now)

Seems like HTC are the fastest in the (phone tech) business, followed by Samsung, then Apple, then Motorola, then LG and others while Nokia is the second slowest, RIM is the slowest and Palm is dead.

Back on topic: Nokia needs to stop playing catch-up or they will become RIM, and they need to have an aggressive tactic to offer leading hardware, leading software and enticing advertising if they're to recover from the 3 year downfall
+1 Agree about Nokia comment!!!!
