I love this quote. Best description of what’s happening in Nokia-land I’ve seen for a while.

They still make the best cheap phones around though. If I’m looking for a good quality phone for $100, it’ll be a Nokia.

Interesting that they’re following Motorola down the same road to oblivion, since they were the ones who gave Moto the fateful shove in that direction in the first place. It’s what happens when a company gets greedy and safe - don’t release something that might upset the status quo. Keep milking that cash cow…
