Nokia failed because it was lazy and of course it made poor choices but I prefer to say it made no choices at all between the years 2004-2007.I would say these are the crucial years that Nokia should of bring something out to keep it in the fight and prepare for loud noises about an Apply phone. Ipod + phone capabilities.
They failed because they stuck to their old ways.
"Taking on Android is like trying to stop a train by standing on the tracks and putting your hands out and asking nicely to stop. Android's going places because the OS is usable and free."
I'm still not sure of Android i don't deny its success but its too open and privacy, security comes into play and thats one open train to see all its cargo for bandits to hijack.
IPhone is doing well, its marketed as accessory, luxury, smartphone, something cool. They've been able to influence how it how people think of the phone. The marketing that Apple has done is amazing even though it is locked down. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why they are so popular regardless of its dictatorship.
All need to remember that most people in this world are not geeks/nerds or tinkerers like us and a phone will do well if it satisfies these people and not every single nerd, geek or IT guy out there.

Seems like an Apple a day doesn't keep the doctor away.
