I really hope Nokia pull themselves out of it.
Before smartphones came along they were pretty much the phone of choice for most people I knew, particularly when I was selling mobile phones a while back.
The best thing about Nokias used to be the the menu system was simple and worked the same across a wide range of phones - if you could master one you could get almost any Nokia phone up and running quickly.
The same with the power cords - everyone had a Nokia power cord which you could borrow if you happened to run out of juice somewhere which wasn't often as the battery life was generally pretty good.
I think Nokia started to go wrong when they changed the menu system around so it was different for lots of different models, and this ran through to the change in power charger connections. It just became so counter intuitive and hard to work. I think it has mirrored the culture at Nokia quite accurately, it just took a while to become obvious to all.
Of course smartphones are a different kettle of fish. Maybe Nokia need to cosy up to Android more and dump Ovi or even Symbian?
