You're right. Nokia is one of the biggest phone manufacturers that has the production capability to produce different products for different market segments, which could result in maximum profit gain.

OP's question is just like asking why Ferrari 458 failed on consumer market.

(oh well put down your flamethrowers I didn't say N900 is the Ferrari of smartphones so take it easy. XD )
