Having Meego devices along with WP7 wouldn't have hurt them.
we will have to agree to disagree on that, but LostDOS se7en Paralyzed was the worst possible choice and will not sell, no matter how nicely it is packed.
ppl just don't want it
but with a zealot @ the helm...

And to be fair i do really like WP7 it's too locked down for me and quite unpleasant to use, that is why i love my N9 <3

Releasing MeeGo along with Symbian Belle was best for Nokia but Elop screwed everything.

Tja, Symbian in itself wasn't a problem (the architecture and feature completeness is quite nice!), but the GUI was horrible after 2006 (even i didn't find in the menus what i was looking for) and the CPU power / RAM capacity given was a joke. Anyone remember "Not enough RAM" in Garmin Mobile XT, even with nothing running amongst?
But this doesn't take into account: internal Nokia politics, the unmaintability of Symbian code (remember that article about reverse-enginering their own stuff?), the fight between different business units / factions (Maemo vs. Symbian folks), too many management levels, ...)

Stephen Elop is proposed for re-election in this year as Nokia refresh its board of directors. Hope he will not be selected again as the CEO of Nokia. http://mynokiablog.com/2012/01/31/re...-of-directors/

Not Jobs, but the people that buy the stuff. Cult of Mac is real. I refuse to fall into line with those folks though. Lining up for days = pure fanaticism to me.
But at least they buy the Apple stuff in large quantities. Can't say the same for the Nokia fanatics. They buy one, declare it the best, never buy anything else...
N900 forever!
OK, I'm using an N9 right now. I love the look of the device, the buttonless operation, double tap to open, swipe... But the reality is my iPhone is way more stable and much easier to set up. The battery on it also lasts clearly longer and the antenna seems stronger (antennagate was mostly FUD). The font rendering is also better (or, possibly, the selected fonts have better defined properties in a typographical sense), the screen more precise and colour rendering is nicer.
Nokia is where it's at because it had rubbish products in comparison. My S40 wasn't horrible, but I switched to an iPhone as soon as the 3G came out. But even before the iPhone I suffered just looking at people using S60.
Having said that, I think the N9 is the best product Nokia has produced in many, many years. One that really shows the huge potential there could have been, and one that appeals to people's imaginations. The moment I saw an early prototype, I was immediately keen on it. Its fate is a sad thing.
