Nokia has a new face, but its heading in the same direction.

And consequently, it will arrive in the same position its in today.
People that want new-gen phones will iPhone, Android, Windows Phone 7 (in that order).
Corporate-Aholes will stick to their Blackberry's.
HP will release a great WebOS-iPaq-phone, but it will suffer in the same swells Palm did, too much better competition!
Symbian will be in abundance in cheap phones, and this wont change.
Symbian smartphones will become epic failures.
MeeGo will only attract the niche, a la nerds.

That is the prognosis of the near future.
In the long-er term, who knows. But for now, in the smartphone business it looks like: Apple will stay quite dominant, Android will stay quite dominant, WP7 will have some share roughly equal to BlackBerry. The small percentage left will be ravaged by HP (WebOS), MeeGo and SYMBIANv4.

Things look bleak...
