Nokia invest more in R&D than Apple and I'm sure that will continue, despite the recent fall in profits, which are largely due to write-downs, as was mentioned earlier.

It's true that the ASP of Nokia devices is falling, and Nokia is losing mindshare, but I doubt that this is a threat to Nokia's dominance of the smartphone market. Symbian's lead is set to grow as Nokia dominate sales in developing markets, and all those Symbian devices will have access to Ovi services. However, as a geek, I would like to see Nokia producing truly exciting high-end devices. I think the devices revealed at Nokia World were a good start, even though I'm not too interested in Symbian anymore.

Nokia will be selling mobile devices long after Apple have faded away, I'm sure.
