Nokia's designer and product managers have nothing to be proud of in its history.

They let companies like Apple, Samsung etc come in and dominate what was their industry to own.

I have a Nokia 3210 as backup phone which still works flawless today. Or an E-7, still working. Most of the other phones I had went defunct at some point or the non-replaceable battery went dead and new phone was cheaper than getting it replaced and so on. Thats something to be proud of. Ok, maybe not for the product managers ;)

I agree about the product managers, but I don't think that designers are to blame for the failures in the smart phone market.
