It’s nice to see a company take responsibility, accept its faults, and learn from those mistakes to move on and become better. What looks so easy can be hard to do, especially for large corporate monoliths, and Nokia seems to be bucking the trend by doing just that. In regards to the company’s flagship smartphone, the Nokia N97, company vice president Anssi Vanjoki said in a recent interview that the company has suffered “tremendous disappointment in terms of the experience quality for the consumers and something did not anticipate.”

Nokia was seen as being slow to embrace touchscreens and even slower to accept capacitive touchscreens as the latest technology trend. However, with rumors of the forthcoming Symbian^3 Nokia X10 and the capacitive slate the X6 in Europe, Nokia may very well be learning from their mistakes. For that, we pat them on back and wish them well, even if our intention is only to see more Nokia and Symbian products in the US.
