As said by people somewhere else on TMO, Nokia should've went Maemo on their phones way back in 2005. If the flagship phones had the specs the 770 had way back, it would've flown off the shelves.
Probably even a Communicator replacement with a keyboard would've changed everything.
By 2007, Symbian was seeing the last of its days as the most advanced mobile OS. After the iPhone 2G, I wonder why Nokia didn't panic and make the damn Internet Tablet Phone instead of waiting until 2009 and putting up against the iPhone 3GS.

why do we have so many threads for the same topic?
I propose to merge them in a "how did nokia manage to bleep-up world domination in 4 years" thread
I can already visualize the tags...

Elop is just doing what he is told. But I have to wonder, Nokia ended up in this situation because they were arrogant, didn't understand the market, didn't understand what customers wanted, and eventually was not able to deliver what the customers wanted.
The N9 is exactly what the customers want, but now they are, seemingly at least, too stubborn to really go for it. It is like they are telling the customers; You don't really want the N9, you only want some bits and pieces of the technology, and we may give it to you in some future devices, not in a complete package like the N9, but spread out on several devices. Nokia - you are wrong!!!
IMO the N9 ball has already started rolling, and there is no way of stopping it. If it all ends up with Nokia going down the drain and someone else continuing (with the N9) where Nokia left, so be it. They got no one else to blame but themselves for being stubborn and arrogant.
Even if android fanboys disagree, Nokia is doing very good hw. Even if it doesnt have latest tripplecore cpu the buildquality of theyr phones often is better than crap androids. N900 is an exception probadly becaus is not build in finland instead its build in a taiwan like many androids...
so whom can take over N9? I hope youj dont mean LG because of theyr plans to support Meego :O

I have had many many Nokias including the N95 and the N900, and I am sorry but no Nokia I have owned in the last 10 years had better build quality than the HTC I have right here.
This is a FACT, not being a fanboy.

iphone is a fashion acessory more than a phone and that route would not be possible to nokia or anyone else. But nokia could have had almost the same opurtunity to jump on the bandwagon as android if they had continued with hi end devices.
Also mercedes bmw and other such companies doesnt make their hi end cars just to make money on them, they make them to boost their brand so more of their cheap cars will be sold too.
