Exactly. 10 years ago, anyone could make a dumbphone. They all just made phone calls, and sent texts, kept memos, and had some terrible Java game system. Nokia came to the top because they offered quality dumbphones, not because they offered a completely different experience. Now there's iPhones (which Nokia can't really do anything about), and Android phones (which Nokia can do better than anyone, if they really try), Windows Mobile (maybe) and burning platforms like Symbian (despite Qt rocking, or so I'm told).
