A whole bunch of "should have, could have, would have" won't advance their past mistakes - many of the aforesaid mistakes have been done by other companies as well - and ultimately their silence and typical disregard from any other culture outside of Nokia's own culture (read: they ain't paying attention to even this)... so what do you want to accomplish that hasn't been done in a many places across these boards and internet already?

N97 would have been a better phone if the OS was more... complete and less buggy. There are other things; but it boils down to the OS. But it wasn't a better phone, it'll go down as the disappointing next of kin of the well-loved N95.

N900 would have been a better (anything) if it were supported and pushed. It will go down as the hacker's haven for an internet tablet/phone hybrid. Know Linux, can program Qt, you're in luck.

The rest... dunno. Nokia will do what Nokia does.
