Nokia is finished.

MeeGo is finished.

Why is Nokia finished? Because Microsoft is not cool (most smart phone buyers are not professionals/informed, so being cool is hugely important). Also because Nokia is behind the curve when it comes to the latest technology. They have a very good packaging ability - ie. they can churn out 235612354 permutations of low end phones using various modules at their disposal, but at the top end, they hardly shine.

N8 is a technological dog (besides the camera), N900 is a technological prehistory, and that's it. There are no more than TWO actual smart phone devices that Nokia managed to release in over one year...

How on earth will Nokia compete against HTC, Korea and whoever else Microsoft snags with the new and improved WP7 offer (thanks to the Nokia de facto acquisition).
