Because they stuck with Symbian long after they were told it wasn't able to keep up. And they must have known that. Reviews of their smartphones would tell a nice story about the hardware, often enough, but then mention the problems with the OS. Jerky operation, things buried too far down. Too many clicks. Non responsive UI, etc. all signs of an obsolete OS that is being pushed far beyond what it was capable of doing.
Nokia wasn't capable enough itself to see that. At least, not at the highest levels, where as late as six months before he was received of duty, Ollie called the iPhone a "boutique phone", and dismissed Android altogether.
This is a company that was not only incapable of invention, but was clueless, and lacked the ability to innovate (likely the word he meant, as you were probing to find out).
Now, they are reaping what they sowed. Which is not much.
Pardon? I asked someone a question, if wasn't you, but what you came back with has nothing to do with the question. You are rambling, about what I don't know, but rambling is what you are doing.
If by "feels alive" you mean, "feels like sticking your finger in a pool of maggots", then yes, I'd agree with you.
No it's a positive feature, not a negative one. Like I said it's hard to explain. If you had used it you would understand what I was talking about.

My answer is true to the question. You just don't want to read it.

No, you post had nothing to do with the question I asked that person (to which they still haven't replied). You posted your personal observations aspects of their practice you are not happy with, which you are intitled to, but you failed to answer the question that wasn't posed to you, what hasn't Nokia been "inventive" with? Are you going to honestly sit there and say that Nokia hasn't had done something "inventive" in the last few years?
Pacific Crest Securities analyst James Faucette issued a research note on Tuesday cutting his sales forecast for Nokia's Windows Phone device sales from two million to as low as 500,000 units on concerns that they will fail to live up to expectations, as noted by The New York Times.
Not sure what to make of this other than Faucette is an ass.

Yeah, high pre-orders... It's because they comes with free XBOX Slim. The chavs will queue up for that sure.
What?

Nope. It's not the same thing.
