So, Nokia. What makes you think the world wants your phones?

Slow build up?

1) Guarantee long term support of the OS.

2) Suck up low volumes for 2-3 years whilst everyone watches to see if this is true.

3) Gain market share in the next refresh cycle.

4) Profit?

I realise there is enormous pressure on established players to cease support to drive the replacement market but if you don't have that market share then that isn't an immediate issue.
