Marketing is one of the area's nokia has failed on big time in the recent years.

Long term planning better be clearer than it is now.
And I like WP7 for the same reason I liked Fremantle (and the same reason I like Harmattan) - the UI & service offerings appeal to me. Specifically regarding the latter, both Maemo & WP7 champion service integration into their core applications. This to me is a critical feature, and the main reason I dislike the Android and iOS approach.

Let's check the facts:
1. The smartphones' hardware performance is increasing steadily.
2. The requirements for Computer OSes didn't go that high since 2007.
Result: This could mean that we might expect Pocket PCs(The real one) in the near future. So the recent events could be a stop gap for the next generation of smartphones.
However, there is a question here that whether you can hold your breath long enough for that. Or is there going to be any devices that does both the PC and phone task?
If you ask me, I won't buy a nokia with WP7 anyway. It's wiser to look forward for W8 handsets. Though I won't buy a W8 handset either.

By 2012, they will be 3rd or 4th in the world. Their stock will be still around $5.00 USD.

Continuous development of QT and the underlying software with superb marketing would save Nokia....easily....if done right. Alas, we all know that this isn't going to go down this way. All we can do right now is bank on WP7 success in the interim :/

Mike you know as well as anyone that Nokia will be ok, they might not get back to the fame days for a while but they will be ok whatever happens in the end, not the literal end of course lol.
