It's all about momentum and execution. Despite gains, Nokia does seem to be slipping there. If they don't correct course, they may find that 2010 was the peak.
The question is, how did Apple get that 16% in the first place?
It was the first smartphone for many, it was shiny, it was Apple, etc.
I personally think they would have a bigger traction if they were to lower prices a bit, and at least add a model with keyboard.

Do you have something quantifiable?
Keep in mind the nature of this forum.

But ultimately I'd gather that nobody really has said that they've lost to Apple moreso as Nokia is just losing focus if you were not as informed as the patrons of this forum about what's somewhat going on at Nokia.
And that is not a lot. The whole problem with bringing up Apple is that most really don't think that Nokia is losing to Apple in terms of money nor sales. They're losing because Nokia could honestly pump out a better something if they only focused.

What matters are the layers below UI. There you make or break compatibility. If Fremantle on N8x0 is totally impossible, why smart people behind Mer even started the project? So can you show me why the jump is bigger than I think?

Nokia was ruling when the battle of phones was not this intense...
And when the competition with touch screens and smartphones got tougher, Nokia is basically lost in the middle of nowhere... using a community as its right hand to finished their unfinished work...
but I like my 1ghz N900 now..... until I can afford £400 for a HTC legend...
edit: talking about Apple, I seriously think their Notebook designs are amazing.. but wouldnt get one .. never . FFS

However, I agree that if they think the model is working for them, they ain't gonna change it. Ferrari is what it is because it makes Ferraris, not Lamborghinis.

All that effort, the new services and the long awaited new phones, should bear fruit this year. Let's wait and see if they were right.

They lunged in with:
- iTunes
- Excellent user experience
- A decent mobile web-browser
- Style, which WinMo and BlackBerry completely lack
The above combined with no small amount of hype allowed them to carry through until they released the SDK, which basically gave them the head of steam they have now.
Their acquisition of marketshare is no joke, and the why is not hard too see. It was impossible to see, however, for all the incumbents.
