Seriously before the iPhone we had Symbian, Windows Mobile, LG Chocolate and Moto RAZR lol. NOK had more money than they knew what to do with. If you look back at their old phones in Europe they really were incredibly designed and engineered. IMHO, some of them in the way future are going to be looked at like some classic vintage cars.
While they might not reach heights again like they did, they are still going to be leader in the mobile space.
You might be surprised at some of the concepting I have seen in this business that never hit the market. Maybe one day.

Good point. All manufacturers have their hits and misses from time to time. Anybody remember the Apple Newton ?? It was a precursor to the Palm Pilot and smart phone. Here's a hint, it failed miserably. What about the Apple Lisa or IIGS (not to be confused with an iPhone). Even almighty Apple has it's product failures.
