You have to remember that Nokia doesn't need to sell for high end consumers like HTC or Apple does. They are very widespread in the mid range market (I'm not sure, but I think the N8 is a midrange handset, since the price is 380). I'm expecting MeeGo to help it in the high end market, but I don't honestly think the company is in any more or less danger than other companies in the recession.
Edit: the article might be concentrating on Nokia in the US, they are doing pretty badly there, I'll admit that.

I think the money is in the high end market and I think Nokia is going to go after it VERY aggressively.
I am really surprised that they are lagging with their products because they were the leaders in both the cell phone and Internet tablet markets. By all rights they should be kicking Apple's butt.
Maybe they need to read this:
http://apple.slashdot.org/story/10/0...c-amp-the-iPad
Personally, I think a totally open source development process is
even better than this. Just look at how far Fedora has come recently.

Hey, how is not listening and/or communicating with your customers working out for you, Nokia?
EDIT: Survey was a good idea, but it may have been too late in the game. Reward current customers and they will become REPEAT customers (see: Apple's business model). Screw your current customers and you will create a jaded base that will not buy any of your future products (no matter how compelling) as they have been burned before.

Anyway... if anything, only Nokia can save Nokia. The price of doing business in a global market is being more communicative. Something even IBM and others have learned how to do...

MeeGo will not save Nokia. But MeeGo + Symbian + Qt will save Nokia. MeeGo will save Nokia's reputation.

I think it was brilliant for Nokia to buy Qt.
I predict that one of the cell phone manufacturers will buy ARM.

Intel are the only ones who have shown anything of progress with Meego so far, it's easier to forget that Nokia is involved. Hopefully that will all change next month..

Kallasvuo asserted that in 2010, the company will "introduce a new generation of devices that is expected to help close the gap with the competition in high-end smartphones," and he continued by claiming that Nokia's approach "has been to concentrate on fewer, competitive products that bring the features of Symbian-based smartphones to more and more people around the world."
