The whole problem with Nokia is they have too many lines. I watched a video around the n95 and it was clear from the marketing handler that was there that marketing drives the company. They will never have a perfect device because they are too focused on market segmentation. Get rid of the good camera on the business phone, that's a multimedia phone feature! Get rid of the touch screen on the multimedia phone, that's a business phone feature! Etc. I'm not stating it very well, but that's the general idea. Sure, they move a lot of product, but it's mostly fashion phones. They could reduce their entire product lineup with 5 or so devices, lay off a ton of people and have the most faithful consumers imaginable if they'd just learn to focus.
