Actually the H-Online has a pretty interesting article why Nokia failed with open-source, the whole symbian ~ meego saga in one go.

Nokia and open source

The mentality there is the same what ailed Sun Microsystems (with more bureaucracy) and Oracle (with more controls) which make projects go south.

Simply put, atleast in India, they lost sight of the ball both in the low-end market (dual-sims anyone) where 75~80% of the market is and the high-end one which expects functionality, service and lots of options.

These guys lost on both those counts.
