It’s been a long year, 12 months of announcements, releases, events, new devices and firmwares, new applications and services. Any company, no matter how bad or good it handles its business, makes some terrible blunders during a year. So here are what, in our opinion, remain the top 5 blunders that Nokia made in 2009 [...]
