Nokia tried to do their own thing at a time when iOS and Android were simply better. The best thing they could do (if it's not already too late) is put out about 1/2 dozen Android phones...quickly...and quit focusing on Windows (which will always be a distant 3rd or 4th) and definitely stop the stupidity of a proprietary OS like they've been focusing on (and failing) for years.

They make good hardware, but they're glaringly missing an OS.

First Choice started to fail in the 1980's when Microsoft Office came out.
They had the low end office productivity software market tied up.
Then they just dissapeared.
