I don't think Nokia's problems are related to whether or not anything is open-source. In fact, I BOUGHT the N800 BECAUSE it was advertised as open-source, and I get the impression most Maemo purchases were too. I think MOST of the problems with Maemo were because of the LACK of openness, despite the openness it had, and Nokia's incredible lack of communication, presence and support.
