you must be confusing, like some other idiots, market share with sales numbers, which was declining because market was growing faster than symbian was, and that was a normal situation because symbian was such a giant and it is a fact that smaller you are the faster you can grow until some point which is around 15% for ios, 30% for android, 2% for WP and if elop didnt fu.ck up symbian it would have almost all of the rest still

The newer smartphone market was asking for something different and Nokia hadn't made it there yet. So iOS and Android filled that gap.
That's the true definition of a missed opportunity.

Furthermore if NOKIA's board are so damned prescient how did they fail to foresee what a catastrophic disaster WP7 would be?
You didn't even need to have special-magic-moonbeam-data only available to the board and insiders to predict WP7 would be a flop - Samsung, HTC and LG had all already tried and failed to sell nice hardware running WP7. Being a flop was by far the most likely outcome.
