Pre iPhone there was blackberry and Nokia communicators, which I wouldn't call dumbphones.

They didn't have to be lost though. Imagine an N10 with dual core processor, swipe UI, 41 megapixel camera with hdmi out, full app support (which was very possible given the hype the n9 had) etc etc. THAT would be a phone to beat

The way Samsung is doing it is what Nokia should have done.
Samsung released state of the art hardware; Samsung Galaxy S3. They they practically let users to choose what OS they want to run it with: Android, WP8 or Tizen:

But no. Nokia went and signed exclusive restricting contract with Microsoft and basically is Microsoft's own dirty lumia now. A test bed for Microsoft to try one last time.

That's the problem. The N95 was a great phone for its time. But the follow-up, the N97 started the downward spiral of bad responses to iOS, Android, et al.
Also, the N95 had anemic memory - out of memory errors was quite frequent. Great phone, plagued with issues that should have been easy to work out in later iterations, but Nokia just didn't capitalize in ways that we'd now consider via hindsight as proactive and effective.

There were lots of smartphones around. HTC, Palm, Motorola, SE even Samsung had a few.
The iPhone changed all that. Then came Android and shook up everything. That was the point. The branch of smartphones that the N95 belonged to suddenly was irrelevant. It's not about being smarter, it's about focusing on what the general public want. That is apps and facebook, twitter etc, large screens with snappy UX.
The last classical smartphone will be the 808 PureView. Even though it lacks a HW keyboard, it got everything else (FM rx/tx, USB2go, HDMI), even a classical OS with real multitasking, and a kick *** camera.
The 808 and a Google branded tablet and I will be happy for a looong time (at least a year
)

Oh, Palm. File them under "further running". I'd never got around liking the Treo 650. I'd never got around to being comfortable with Graffitti too. Maybe an US specific thing.
Btw the N7650 could install before the Treo.
