This would be like if Nokia had the Lumia running Windows Phone, meanwhile they're selling Symbian phones and Apple introduces the iPhone. Surely they'd just launch their Lumia, no?

No. Nokia had a (770, 800, 810, N900) smartphone and self-sabotaged it because it didn't want to cannibalize its Symbian business.

I had a N810, Maemo was cool but would've been stomped on by the iPhone. The Lumia was Nokia's first phone with proper modern UX.

The point being, Nokia had the tech and was stumped on by iPhone nevertheless.

my point is that it wasn't competitive. having inferior tech in your back pocket will not help you.
