I can't honestly say that I've got any sort of curiousity for any new Lumia branded products. At all. They are, in my book, completely irrelevant products.

The email client on LUMIAs is the best. Beats iphone and other platforms. Lumias will be corporate soon.

Nokias problem is size. It's too large to sustain selling S40 and S30 devices even though sales are shifting dramatically toward the more expensive S40 devices. It needs to shrink more. Accelerated growth of WP would help of course, but that is not a solution Nokia can live with, it needs to become profitable in it's main business of S30 and S40.
"Elop's Microsoft announcement has effectively bankrupted the Nokia Symbian smartphone unit which made 20% of Nokia phones, generated 30% of Nokia revenues and produced a whopping 40% of Nokia profits when he took over. He killed his cash cow. Voluntarily."

Meltemi proved to be a dead end road, the team couldn't deliver something that was more competitive than S40.

S40 gives more bang for the buck than anything out there, and it is selling by the billions, literally, but it is no solution for high end, and it is no solution for Europe or NA. Here the competition is iOS and Android.

Not only high end, but that is where the profit margins are.

Lots of people will dislike it, simply because it doesn't fit their blocky, conservative skulls.
WP is somewhat similar. WP7 has limitations, but I tell you, my Lumia is much more fun with new stuff coming all the time than the stale N9.

Well, I shouldn't make any generalizations but at the moment, Samsung is the company that brings new product to the market that people buy. LG may be earlier with some features but people don't buy it. And South Korea as a whole is much less playing catch-up than five years ago, three years ago.
Also, even China is starting to innovate. They're well aware that they've been a follower for all these years, and are trying to change their engineers straight out of the educational system. If they can manage to drop the idea of only copying the best, the rest of the world is in trouble.
There's no telling who is innovating at any given time, all products we see now are the results of a mainstreaming process that takes years to reach the market.
