Nokia has lost it's position as a leader of the mobile segment when they decided to join with Micrsoft boat. Bad sales, operating systems which don't have half of the features expected in a Nokia device, lack of drivers for hardware (reason why the Nokia and Samsung WP8 models has the same hardware). Nokia has get rid of all it's profitable mobile technologies like QT, MeeGo, Mobile payment system.
The only thing Nokia does nowadays is to promote Microsofts products, no matter if it costs a million Euro a day in lost profit for Nokia and it just means you will not have any leading technological help from Nokia, they just tries to harvest others ideas and then give those for free to Microsoft.
