Nokia was clinging onto Symbian OS for too long. It had reached its peak.

What did Stephen Elop do wrong?
• While the entire smartphone OS industry was evolving, manufacturers moved on and adopted various operating systems like Android, Windows, Bada, Meego, et cetera, Nokia decided to stick to Windows OS only.• As Android and iOS became more popular, Nokia and its windows phones failed to attract any attention.
