Crikey, what were you on when you wrote this? Are you not aware that Nokia still sells more phones globally than any other company by quite some margin? If not, you should probably do some research before you write this nonsense.

"Nokia has become the favorite phone company to bash because it is so large and is lagging in the 'hottest' market of PDA phones."
And the thing that makes it even worse is that at one time they had the hotest mobiles you could get - the communicators - with 386 and then 486 processors when the original pentium was just making it into PCs.
They seem to have lost their way and strayed very far from the path. Nokia WTF are you doing? WAKE UP!

They get a Nokia to use it as a phone and some texting, like a dumbphone, and that's pretty much about it.
