I was working externally for Nokia around 2004~2006. They were already competing with Apple at this point. Nokia were scared by the iPod and the Rokr. They wanted to secure the mobile and online music market. They were trying to beat Apple at iTunes, to the point where they gobbled up one of Apple's biggest competitors in the music space (OD2-Loudeye).

When the iPhone launched it showed Nokia was woefully behind. All their devices instantly felt like they were from a previous age.

Delaware State Lost Property says I still have a bunch of Nokia shares to collect apparently lol
