Why it got out of UAT/QA stage and onto production??? Those people should have been fired. If iPhone5 will be slow as hell and hanging after 5hrs of usage even iPhone fanbois will get tired of Jobs' cheering. Nokia just lost its credibility as THE phone maker after releasing crap for quite a while
As far as I can tell, you're partially right. It WAS already a sad state of affairs but once Elop took the reigns and started opening his face-hole and saying many stupid things in public and tying the company's karma to an already-established loser really accelerated the downward dive for Nokia. Symbian didn't drive the company into the ground the way Windows Mobile is performing right now.
