Yeah, they haven't had a decent phone, since the late 90's. They fell far behind when the "smart phones" came out.
No, they have pioneered the smartphones with Symbian, in fact first smartphone was Nokia 7650 with early Symbian.
Problem is they have sticked to Symbian when Android arrived, didn`t get the licence and boop - in two years Samsung and new players like HTC have "eaten the market out".
Pitty knowing Nokia was a name for easy use, reliability and support. And now they have to do Windows Phones.
