Yes,
and that just about nails that point shut.
But that is not what OP was on about, to be pedantic.

Nokia achieved the absolutely brilliant goal of
putting telephony into an open linux garden
(which is what this thread started out about
and on which point the OP is absolutely correct)

and then proceeded to toss the whole creation directly into the rubbish bin.
(which, although also absolutely correct,
one can read about almost anywhere else until utter nausea sets in.)


I think describing their collectively corporate behaviour as
schizophrenic would insult both Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde and schizophrenics everywhere.

Split personality disorder would be a better analogy.

Any of this look like Nokia?

* Fluctuating picture symptoms
* Fluctuating levels of function from highly effective to disabled
* Severe headquarter turmoil or other management issues
* Time distortions, time lapses, and amnesia and amnesia and amnesia
* Depersonalization and derealization
* Depression
* Mood swings
* Suicidal tendencies
* Support disorders (insomnia, night terrors, and sleep walking)
* Anxiety, panic attacks, and phobias (flashbacks, reactions to stimuli or "triggers")
* Community and Developer abuse
* Compulsions and rituals
* Psychotic-like symptoms (hearing voices of other CEOs inside of their head and visual flashbacks)
* Distribution disorders
* Comatose responses to support requests
* Amnesic episodes and time loss and time loss and time loss and time loss
* Trances and out-of-market experiences
* tendency toward self-persecution, self-sabotage, and sometimes self or other directed violence.
unfortunately,


Prognosis
DID does not resolve spontaneously, and symptoms vary over time.
[Strikethrough]Individuals[/Strikethrough] Corporations with primarily dissociative symptoms and features of posttraumatic stress disorder normally recover with treatment. Those with comorbid addictions (dual OS?), personality, mood, or production disorders face a longer, slower, and more complicated recovery process.
Individuals still attached to abusers (Telcos!) face the poorest prognosis; treatment may be long-term and consist solely of symptom relief (cute graphics and fancy marketing) rather than personality integration (community accommodation). Changes in identity, loss of memory, and awaking in unexplained locations and situations often leads to chaotic personal lives.
Corporations with the condition commonly attempt suicide.
Trouble is, geniuses (both individual and corporate) often
create the most splendid things for society
and thereafter do some of the most puzzlingly dumb things.
Somewhat like an sanity-insanity pendulum.

That we find ourselves on the receiving end of this madness
makes the n900 an interesting ride...
