And now here I am, hoping that something comes along to save me from having to migrate over to android or whatever...

I think there is a definite parallel between what happened to Commodore and what is unfolding with Nokia at this moment.

Also, what happened with Sega and it's Dreamcast seems to be a very similar situation as well. I so wanted the DC to top the PS2 but as usual, any company that I'm behind seem to make dreadful mistakes ending in fail.

I predict that in ten years time we will be watching documentaries or reading books about "The Rise And Fall Of Nokia" like the book "The Commodore Story" lol.
