They started with nothing and today they are one of the leading brands, thanks to Windows CE. Of course, Android has boosted the company big time during the last couple of years.
Additionally, let us not forget that Microsoft has been trying, and trying repeatedly for years (more a decade) to try, and fail, to beat the leading brand of mobile device--even when Palm was the leading device and sales floundered, Windows Mobile devices didn't really take off. Nobody wanted it even when they had the best opportunity to take over. Apple quickly came in and took that away. Nokia is siding itself with a proven historic loser in the mobile space. I won't EVEN start explaining how well Zune did compared to iPod, Sansa or anyone else in the portable music devices. Microsoft has a history showing that they can't really make a "cool" or catchy device people want.

in fact, according to Jo Harlow, Executive Vice President, Smart Devices the N9 is an early-adopter tech geek device.
the same as the N900.
even if the masses are enthusiastic (ppl camping in front of the store the previous night ?!?
), well, they better arm themselves with a morgenstern instead of patience... 
history doesn't repeat itself, it stutters...

NOKIA failure. They suck at writing software and need WP to save them
Just buy a WP7 device now and get it over with.
