BDAZZ, I may have missed your point, but I don't think you made it in your original post, where I see no mention of 'partnered/cooperated with the best companies of the day'. Nokia was Euro-centric. Nobody in Europe had the ability to create a great mobile OS. Nokia would have never gone to Andy Rubin or MS or Apple to get help with an OS. So, yes, they could have had huge penetration with a device on a fast network, but the device would be low-hanging fruit to beat by the folks who know how to build great OSs. They same thing would have happened, because Nokia never had it in them to move from phones to mobile computing devices.
