If this were anyone but Nokia, I'd give them a fighting chance. I've worked with Nokia in the past, though, on their various attempts at an app market and trying to convince people that their Symbian OS and Maemo OS were going to take over the mobile market. They build great hardware and terrible software, but that's not their biggest problem. Their biggest problem is a Sony-like inability to get out of their own way. Every project they did had competing managers with competing agendas, and each initiative changed course so often that we gave up trying to predict or even understand where our next objectives would be. Nokia is driven by committees and bean counters. There's no vision at the top. They spend all of their time and energy in search of market segments, and never get around to just building great products.
