Nokia sells alot of dumbphones right? Nokia sells more smartphones than dumbphones. Oh, and they've also been the most successful in transitioning customers to smartphones (60-70% of nokia dumbphone users become nokia smartphone users).
Reading the US-centric blogs and tech-sites makes it seem like only the US companies are in the smartphone market (Google with Android, Apple with iOS, etc)

Entry-level using stock tools? That was the nineties.
Hacking scene came apart due to ethical hacking certs after 9/11? No.
The hacking scene was all about hacking in the beginning.
Then some people turned white-hat and got security jobs.
Then most people in the scene got security day-jobs by releasing tools and 0days to market themselves.
Then organized crime started hiring hackers for projects.
Now hacking is all about money, be it a security job or working for the Russians.

Be better than metasploit? Run metasploit and turn in the results? You don't know what metasploit is.
