I was making software for Nokia phones when the first iPhone came out. As an outsider, it seemed to me that they realised iPhones were going to be the future, went full panic-mode and never recovered. N96 was already dead by the time it came out and N97 seemed like something cobbled together in a hurry. Released version had none of the screen animations/interactions they were hoping and overall was quite laggy in my opinion. After that they were basically just poking around on every possible direction.
