This is debatable for a couple reasons: First, it is similar to saying Toyota makes too many cars. Nokia, like Toyota, made phones that fit a wide range of markets, and in each Nokia series, the insides and software were the same. Second, Nokia's problems crescendoed with Stephen Elop and the not-ready-for-prime-time Windows phone OSs that Elop insisted replace viable alternatives Nokia developed in-house. In light of the outcome, one could say Nokia made too few phones by not shipping more than one smartphone OS.

- Zigurd 3y agoI didn't count them all. But between Toyota Daihatsu Hino and Lexus, of the 9.2 million vehicles they will make, there are more than 57 models. At its peak Nokia manufactured more than one phone per second, 24/7/365. I bet there were more than 57 models.
- panick21_ 3y agoElop was invited by the board. The Nokia board saw the end of the phones and wanted to dump the whole thing, and Microsoft was their mark. This wasn't a hostile takeover, rather a invited takeover. While I love the N9, by that point it would have been hard to compete with Android. Just as it was hard for Microsoft.
