So while handset sales increased, marketshare decreased.

As Elop himself put it - "In short the industry changed and Nokia needs to change fast"
Needless to say the market is growing faster than Nokia can increase sales, thus the negative trend in market share. I can understand why Nokia's next flagship devices (N9?) has to be a hit (i.e. surprise the market, not just keep up).

The N8 and E7 are nice, but in the marketing world we live in it's all about the numbers (RAM, processor, apps, screen size, etc..). If you don't play the game you better have something significantly different that everyone understands it's value. The N8 and E7 are good, just not ground breaking.
