Way to run Nokia into the ground, Nokia. Along with every other handset maker pre-iPhone who did not immediately release an iPhone competitor (Microsoft, Blackberry, Palm, etc). They all failed, just some of them lasted longer than others did.

Nokia got lazy. They saw the iPhone and didn't change course until it was too late. If anything, Microsoft kept them above ground.

Microsoft put Nokia into the ground with a single speech that obsoleted all of the phones that they had in the wild (and were still trying to get people to buy) for a phone that they hadn't developed yet.

The N900 and N9 were better than the iPhone, although that's not saying much.
