1. The burning platform thingy happened when Nokia was absolutely dominating Brazillian smartphone market, people had even ported Counter-Strike to Symbian! Then suddenly it was dead, and didn't even get replaced by iPhone as the memo predicted, instead it got replaced by chinese no-name phones (until the government got annoyed and banned them outright... if you use a imported phone, cell towers can kick it out of the network)
2. Nokia abandoned all their business here for some years.
3. Nokia is now back, but all they do is half-hearteadly sell some crappy androids, they KaiOS market is booming in India, and has much potential in Brazil, but they refuse to sell KaiOS phones here, and you can't import them (because they get kicked out of the network by the cell towers), meanwhile local companies are making crappy KaiOS phones and doing reasonably well.
