Maemo was their experiment. And the n810 came after the iPhone. 770 and N800 came before. If Nokia actually tried to sell the tablets, they would not be in this position today. When people (like gizmodo for example) think of Nokia, they see the dumbphones and the smartphones with a old, dying OS and expensive. No one realizes that Nokia has been working on the tablets...

Well i have a nokia n95-8gb and the n810. For me the n810 is a lot more solid than the age old s60. I mean the number of bugs and ui inconsistencies are way more on the n95-8gb than the n810. Its been ages since the last time my browser crashed or my n810 froze and restarted while my n95-8gb almost restarts once a week.
I really dont understand why the tablets were not advertised ?

You see missed opportunities like this through out history. It is the person or management team with vision and insight that sees and grasp the ¨golden ring¨.

Nokia is not a garage band, they can't make something in 2 weeks.
iPhone is not Jesus Christ so something like «1 year after iPhone release» sounds ridiculous and pathetic». Nokia had touchscreen phones before btw.
And the last thing is that these crappy anal-isists can't see further than their nose.

smartphones are a subset of a larger market, and nokia seems to put s60 in more and more phones where before one would find s40.
i wonder how much nokia earns on feature phones vs smart phones...

This analyst says differently. Nokia is moving Symbian down market. If they replaced all the s40 devices with s60 devices, and sold at the same rate as today, Apple would need to sell 10 million devices a day to do what Nokia is doing now. Apple isn't going to come anywhere near that. And Nokia isn't falling as fast as some would have you believe.

It's not about the iPhone being a "Jesus Phone" or anything of the like. It's more about how Nokia just isn't gaining in the market, they're losing it... to somebody.
And at this moment, it's Apple. Tomorrow, it might be Lenovo or HTC. Nokia has to do something to stop this slide in a few markets outside of Europe.

they are losing but what about Maemo??
are they going to use the Maemo as main OS for Highend device??
"Apple to pass Nokia smartphone share by 2013"
Apple = Nokia in 2011
"Apple would match Nokia's share sometime in 2011 and ship as many as 77 mil phones that year".
"Nokia decline is because of slow reaction - 1 year and half to release a touch phone after the iPhone was released."

Now my question is - Nokia had N810 before iPhone release - why they simply abandoned the Maemo platform for 2 years and bought Symbian and tried to do magic with Symbian when Maemo was already there in a much better shape and why it was Maemo ignored? Why not first device an improved finger version of N810 as a N820 or something in 2007-2008?
