Over the last few years Nokia and RIM (Blackberry) have been loosing market share and also consumer mindshare. Its no secret most people either want a iPhone or an Android device. They choose the alternate either because of cost or their 'Corporate Standard' is the Blackberry. While Blackberry is holding on to its corporate market, Nokia seems to be eroding. There have been many 'iPhone Killer' hype from both Nokia and RIM, none have succeeded so far.
Motorola, which was almost out of the handset/SmartPhone race found a new lease of life, thanks to Android. I think it is time for Nokia (and RIM) to seriously think of making Android based handsets. Yes, there is history and large market share for Symbian, but it may be time for Nokia to hedge its bets. Same with RIM, yes Blackberry is a great email device, but browsing sucks. I think its time for RIM and Nokia to come out of the 'innovator's dilemma' and look for emerging alternatives.
