Not really. Maybe you lived in the US, where they've never been popular, but back in the day people absolutely loved their Nokia and never wanted to change to another brand. Nokia was the cool kid at the time.

(myself I always thought they had the best hardware and craptastic software)

Working at Nokia UK tech support, we had people calling up and pleading for us to sell 6310is. There's people out there who have stockpiled those handsets so they can keep using them as their existing handset fails.

Some of those people loved their Nokias entirely too much.

This is still true. The N9 has amazing specs, but you wouldn't know it by trying to use the thing.
