Hmm while memories are always rose-tinted, I can think of many reasons for Nokia's downfall other than the CEO; for example, how many people were ticked off at purchasing the 8210 only for it to be superceded by the 8250 after a few months with the only difference being the blue light and dancing motion while ringing during a call or the 7210 vs 7250 etc... Nokia, Samsung et al during the feature phone years were specialists of adding one feature while removing another in every new model hence never releasing a "complete" device. They took bean counting to the extreme hence their fate today...
