Nokia, especially in Europe, has a lot of satisfied customers(The dumbphone market). If they manage to create a good blend of smart and dumbphones they will have the market.
In a couple of years, there won't really be a dumbphone market in Europe, except for drug dealers and the poorest of consumers. Already, more than half of all cellphones sold in Europe are smartphones, and it increases by 10 percentage points a year.
Nokia's future lies in selling dumb phones to third world countries, and that's already where it makes its money. Nokia was smart to have Microsoft fill their coffers, but in the end, smartphones will never be Nokia's core business.
I think so. Via @mikko: Mobile web access marketshare changes in 2011: iOS: 25% -> 23% Android: 15% -> 22% Symbian: 30% -> 34% For real.
According to another web analytics company, Hitslink [2], Symbian mobile web usage share went from 8.9% to 5.8% in the last year.
Also, even in Statcounter's numbers Symbian has little usage share to speak of in first world nations (6% in N-America, 10% in Europe, 4% in Oceania).
