Nokia Don't Know Services

Nokia is the indisputed leader in mobile phones.

However, their track record in the services business (that Nokia stresses as a major growth avenue) is rather sad.

Case in point: the much hyped Ovi portal. 

Latest Alexa rankings place Ovi as the 17.840th most popular web site globally. Such Finnish language giants as www.kuvaton.com, www.nettimoto.fi, www.aapeli.com and www.riemurasia.net handily rank higher than Ovi.

Surely, given the amount Nokia has invested in Ovi, this has to be one of the worst bang-for-the-buck cases in the history of the Internet.
