Agreed.

It worries me Nokia is trying to beat iPod/iTunes/iPhone, they keep too much of an eye on Apple. Nokia should be doing their own thing, and, most importantly, realize just how much they suck at software.
It's a bit like coming out with DR-DOS and trying to compete with OS X. They have let Symbian stagnate to the point of near death, and seemingly have nothing else lined up either. Nokia PC Suite is a complete waste and playing music on my N73 sucks so badly I tried it once and never again.

Nokia has pulled some amazing turnabouts in the past though... and they are very strong in hardware, distribution, and the best at making excellent low cost phones.

It just seems to me Nokia is forgetting to make great phones while trying to become the big iPod competitor. They've been focusing on music for years and the results are pathetic for a company the size and financial heft of Nokia.
