^ Yes you can be cocky even when you don't have those products.
Nokia has very effectively demonstrated that. It knew Lumia 900 won't get Windows Phone 8 even before the launch. It knew Lumia 900 might have bugs to be fixed by various updates, but by being cocky it took that initial doubts from my mind, your mind and rest of the Lumia 900 users mind away.
THAT is the exact reason why Lumia 900 made it to Amazon's top rated phone for nearly 3 months and kept selling well and that's the reason Windows Phone got the recognisation from 1.3% to 4% marketshare in 2012.
Being cocky always puts your competition in doubts, for one slight moment. That is exactly what Nokia needs. With those cocky ads before the Nokia event, we all had the hype, the anticipation going. Believe me, even with those fake ad claims and whatever, everyone who saw Nokia event, who were excited of Nokia's cockiness, will end up buying Lumia 920. Just not you. Because you've taken Nokia's false marketing, advertising and whatever, to your heart. You feel cheated by Nokia as if it was your girlfriend! Nokia is a business, it needs attention, it can and will do whatever is in its capacity to gain that attention because for them it is billions of dollars. Not just one or two customers who will be so pissed and feel cheated as if it is end of the world.
I really wish Nokia becomes more cockier and comes up with even more taunting adverts because THAT competition my friend, is going to give you, me and everyone else the best technology of our time. Honestly, I am enjoying the era of tech since 2010. iPhone has maxed out on innovation, mobile world is maxing out. Only those who bring REAL INNOVATION will survive. That to me and you should mean - excellent products.
You can be cocky when you have a better product. That's like when they had those Lumia 900 ads claiming everyone else is a beta tester and their product won't even get updated to Windows Phone 8.
I mean you can't be cocky and then show a fake video and have to be forced to apologized.
It backfired on them, now everyone is talking about how Nokia is a liar and fraud.
I think people will look at the lumia and will be like
Holy camoley look at this yellow phone! is huge!!
Yeah can you imagine owning something like that lol?
Yeah, oh look the Iphone 5 is there, let's get that.

Apple can still screw up. People had being waiting for the Iphone 5 for almost 2 years. It better be worth it. Galaxy S 3 is too good.
That doesn't work in the social economy.
Why?
Because the people who bought into the cocky marketing for Lumia 900 will still have Lumia 900s.
And when people considering 920s (if and when they ship) ask 900 owners about their experience, they'll get something like this:
"Nokia promised the smartphone beta test was over, and that this phone would be revolutionary. Two months later, they stopped software updates and said they knew, the entire time, that my phone was a dead end. My phone won't run new WP8 software, and it's worth 1/3 as much on the resale market as an HTC One X which shipped at the same time and price and DOES get updates. I'd steer clear of anything else they're selling... you can't trust them."
At that point, the cockiness turns to cockiness in bankruptcy court. Not pretty.
omfg what a crock of bullsh-. Not everyone gets that upset over an update. Get out over your tech world bubble. People that aren't heavily invested in tech just want something that does the job from them, or did you forget the mantra that Apple touted/still touts for years?
That's actually bad for Windows Phone. For a example I though a picture of a friend of mine and inmediatly after I took it, she asked me to edit it with Instangram. I told her my phone doesn't have that app, she looked at me in disbelief and I just said. Well is an old phone ^_^U. She actually said that I throw my phone in the garbage.
Of course, before Windows Phone nokia just send me the lowest of the cheapest phones. So the brand is associated with cheap phones with the exception of the N8.
Another point is that people just sell the windows phones here without telling people how it works, so most people don't even know what Zune is. So passing pictures etc.. is a mess.
Not to mention all the things people expect out of their phones that WP7 just doesn't do.
The average people doesn't want a Windows Phone, much less a Nokia one my friend. They need to bring it hard with Windows Phone 8 and the 920 is not going to cut it.

Well everyone is different, you need to bring everything. The slightest things can make people choose one phone over the other.
When people told about why choose Windows Phone over Android, they always said is smoother. But as someone that uses Slacker Radio every day, I find that assessment hilarious.
...Likewise, I really doubt people that aren't in this tech bubble world get that miffed over a missed update that they would lose trust with a phone manufacturer. If that were true, I would imagine there would've been a higher turn over rate a few years ago when HTC and Samsung wouldn't update their Android phones to the latest update.
Can you clarify on Slacker? I've never used it since I just use Zune to sync my music.
