> I think the people who ultimately led to Nokias downfall worked at 1 Infinite Loop where the iPhone was developed. I always found those reports about the iPhone causing Nokias downfall to be not credible. Nokia's vast majority of sales were in price segments where the iPhone didn't even compete. The iPhone destroyed its North American competitors at that time, Blackberry, Palm, etc. Nokia was clearly destroyed by Android. Surveys at that time found Nokia customers mass defecting to Samsung and other Android vendors. > I think Elop's strategy was to win over the American carriers/market A foolish plan, something Nokia never had accomplished even in the heyday of Symbian, when it dominated the rest of the world..
