2011 was one year after the iPhone 4. The battle of software was over and the ecosystem battle was ramping up. As an N9 owner I agree, it was Nokia's last gleaming but it was simply too little too late.

They couldn't even ship two Series 60 phones back to back with the same J2ME profiles. It was simple mistakes that stopped any kind of platform emerging.

The sad part is that Nokia had all the pieces as early as 2004. But they never grasped the software software side of things (RIM made exactly the same mistake).
