That's why MS decided to make WP7 the same way, every few months/years they could add a feature or two and declare with great fanfare that they are "innovating".

It only works for apple, that same move will not work for microsoft. Since microsoft doesn't have the same cult following the messiah that is steve jobs.

Microsoft tried this with copy/paste on their WP7, they got insulted for it. When apple did it, their following would go "why do we need copy/paste for? not important".

PlanA with WP7 is a disaster.

Given how this forum treats Android and iOS - they shun them both - then I don't get your point.

I mean, sure... WP7 isn't the greatest thing out there. But as it stands, to compare it to other vilified OS's... surprises me. Thought you were doing the MeeGo/Maemo comparison, that would have explained your vitriol.

Almost paints iOS and Android in a positive light the way you've explained yourself.

Oh... at the time of this post, NOK is at 9.11 (+0.04).

Re: Nokia Plan B

Is there a plan that includes firing Elop and appointing Juhani Risku in its place?

I really hoped there was but that article is old. I think Elop will get the boot eventually though when everyone else at Nokia realises what crap WP7 is.

Plan A not exactly a hit with America's (US) biggest telecom either:

“I do want a strong third OS out there,” Melone said. “It gives the carriers more flexibility and balances the interests of all the parties. But I still have doubts whether Microsoft will get the traction they are hoping for with Windows Phone 7… I don’t think Verizon needs the Nokia and Microsoft relationship,” he said. “Right now the three OS players we see for our network are Android, Apple, and RIM. ”
