I still think Nokia did a major shit. First, they did not needed to replace Symbian in first place, for example here in Brazil 60% of the mobile market was Symbian, until Nokia decided to kill it (in two years almost all Symbians are gone). Think about it, Nokia was selling in Brazil alone more than 100 million phones. People were perfectly happy with Symbian, people here LIKED Symbian, we had huge internet forums for Symbian fans, we had Symbian software developers, and so on... Nokia announcement that they would not use Symbian anymore killed all that overnight. And then, they choose Windows, and went for the high-end... They basically dumped their old market, and tried to pursue what then was Apple and Blackberry markets, they basically threw out all their loyal costumers. I for one got really disappointed, I loved Nokias, I had a couple of Nokia phones, a developer account, I made even J2ME stuff for non-Symbian Nokia, and all of that, started because OTHER PEOPLE made me like it, because Nokia was wildly popular (mostly because of its crazy resilience and quality engineering, something more prized in a developing country than flashy features). And they threw it all out in one shot. Most people I know still feel that noone has risen to substitute Nokia, some people think Nokia is 100% dead (along with Blackberry), but are unhappy with Samsung... I personally saw so far a single android phone that impressed me (that is the Xperia Play, that I own), and was quite disappointed with Sony abandoning it too. I am yet to see a phone that make me want to buy it to substitute my old Xperia Play
