Define smartphone OS if you can.
These are the list of what Win7 Phone OS doesn't have. Which a must for a smartphone OS, without it then it is not so smart afterall.

* No cut, copy, and paste,
* No full multitasking for 3rd party apps,
* No Adobe Flash.
* Windows Phone 7 supports upgradable storage via an SD Card; however SD card memory is merged with the phone's internal storage, and changing the SD card causes the phone to reset to factory settings.
* Windows Phone 7 does not support connecting to Wi-Fi (wireless) access points which are hidden or have a static IP address, tethering to a computer
* No videocalling,
* No VoIP calling,
* Doesn't support USB mass-storage,
* No universal email inbox,
* No universal search,
* Doesn't have a system-wide file manager,
* Doesn't support Bluetooth file transfers,
* Doesn't support USSD messages,
* Doesn't support custom ringtones.
* only support syncing with Exchange ActiveSync over the network. There is no support for syncing with Exchange ActiveSync using a cable or cradle.

* does not support Office documents with security permissions
* Doesn't support IPsec security,
* No on-device encryption,
* Doesn't support strong passwords,
* No internet sockets.
* No list of past phone calls is now a single list, and cannot be separated into inbound, outbound or missed calls.

Bigger hint: Nokia's shares have tanked 75% from 40.00+ USD in 2007 to less than 10.00 USD in 2010 from prior Nokia strategies.

Lets go back

Download! = first app store = FAIL

N-gage devices = first gaming platform FAIL

Mosh = second app store FAIL

N-gage software = gaming platform for all N- series = FAIL

Ovi services = FAIL

As N8 ad said its not the technology its what you do with it

In this case its not the innovation its what you do with it hence iPhone and Android
Nokia just fails at advertising. How many people knew Ngage 2.0 was available? MOSH?

Not really. Others made out much better from IBM's PC innovations than they did-- including Microsoft.

Gerbick, I know that. So what, it shows that the previous regime (OPK & board) failed. So the savior was brought in, share prices moved up slightly. Then the new strategy was announced, and the stock tanked again. Looks like the market thinks that the current regime (Elop & board) failed.

So we do have the continuation of failure, apparently not a change to the better.

What is your point?

Not by the time I looked at their trends. 2007 was their peak year, their highest.

Nothing peaked higher than that year.

Dude, if sales meant anything about quality, Justin Bieber and Britney Spears wouldn't sell shitloads of records.

Truth is, what most of us are angry about is that all that Maemo was is about to cease exist, in one form or another. This device is about to go down in history as a revolutionary device that didn't happen due to bad management decisions, and never again will we see anything close to it from nokia, if Ms is truly at the helm of Nokia.

And guess what, in spite of what really sells, I could really use another Maemo device, with updated specs. I'm afraid this will be no more.

I've been making money off Nokia's stock rollercoaster going back further than that.
