Apple is just one manufacturer, and there are lots of people who can't stand apple. With android you could at least get your Motorola, Sony-Ericsson or whatever you used to have. At the time Android was practically the only viable choice for iphone, so there you go. Pricing also wasn't irrelevant - if apple had released a low cost model early in game, Android would have been dramatically slowed down.
And Nokia messed up maemo/meego big time, by not diverting enough resources to it, until it was at least 5 years too late.

This wouldn't have been allowed to happen if NOKIA had been a French or German company rather than Finnish, their respective governments would've been all over it like a rash.
It'll be interesting to see if they step in when Microsoft tries to pick up NOKIA's patent portfolio for a song.

My opinion: The Finnish board members, shareholders and government there have proven that they have no pride and no backbone. Go ahead and try to explain to me how they DO, given how this company (which supposedly was the pride and joy of the Finnish economy) was mishandled so badly as to look intentionally sabotaged by a mole from Microsoft and just let it KEEP ON happening all the way up to the point of trying to sell it off to a foreign company. I mean--come on! People were already making that point WAY, WAY back when he was first hired as the new CEO. Everybody could SEE it. That's a lack of pride and a lack of the integrity to step in. The truth is the truth, no matter how ugly it is. For all the damage they have done, money lost and jobs lost... Nokia's executives, shareholders and the government of Finland should be ashamed and feel bad for their part in making it happen or allowing it to get to this point. Again, just my opinion but.. man, it just seemed so obvious all along.
