As for the touchscreen phone that never happened, is that a mention of the 7700?

Also, whats up with not mentioning the N800 or N810 that was followups to the 770? Its as if the 770 was the only device in the series.
A bit ironic that an NYT article would be considered an example of US myopia, considering that the New York Times has an Anti-American agenda (if you believe the American extremist right, that is ).

In any case, the thrust of the article really concerns management decision-making, rather than technology. Citing a laundry list of omissions from the technology-side does not negate the main thesis of the article: Nokia's risk-averse, consensus-based, management culture of the past decade, while adequate for protecting the base business in the short-term, may not have been nimble, coherent, or decisive enough to nurture a critical mass of innovation that can drive long-term growth.
