The N900 was fantastic. The phone was to be a leader until Stephen Elop.
Elop was a Microsoft employee who never stopped being a microsoft employee. As fake ceo of nokia he convinced the board to switch to microsoft OS and drop their success. Nokia did that and then when Nokia sales plummetted to disasterous level he proposed selling that division to Microsoft at quite the discount. Afterall who wants to buy a failing division. 11,000 employees laid off because of Elop's incompetence.
What the board should have done was fire Elop very publicly and move right back to the Linux ecosystem. They had a leg up to basically be what Pinephone, chinaphones, and so many other phones are trying to be.
