I did not know this.

What bothers me was how nonchalant Nokia was in regards to seeing what folks wanted and how they weren't delivering. That's some comfort only afforded to you when you've gone unchallenged for so long.

The want for something new has to be delivered and explained to the layman in a way that makes them want it and developers need to create stuff that is compelling and the hardware folks need to build something that's long lasting. Phones used to last, now? You're lucky if you get a year.

That trend seems to be cyclic. Apple is now starting to show signs of stagnation and their phones are bolstered only by the apps that support it and grant access to the trendy things that folks like/use whereas functionality is largely the same as it was in 2007.
