Nokia always had solid hardware. Had they paired that with a decent OS, they would have had a fighting chance to succeed in the post-Symbian era. But sticking to a rigid platform (initially Windows Phone was very restrictive on what resolutions, memory and what not was allowed) meant that they lagged behind while the competition ran away with more and more innovative devices. Now it's too late for Nokia, they just became the latest of Microsoft's victims, a list which keeps growing. I could dig up my post, but I said it in the day, getting in bed with Microsoft is a sure way to the grave.
