Re: Symbian kills off Nokia brand value......

People are running away from Nokia because Nokia has been busy doing nothing but create devices that nobody really desires. This is not Elop's fault, but the fault of the people that hired him. It's getting really old that people keep blaming Elop for Nokia's mistakes.

The board knew it before anyone as they have data that is not available to regular folks.

What data? Be specific. Sales were falling and rising simultaneously? How does that work?

If NOKIA really foresaw a problem with Symbian why didn't they focus more of their efforts on Maemo?

Sure NOKIA made mistakes in the past (Personally I would have liked to see Hildon on Symbian way back when) but the problems NOKIA had before Elop prostituted them to M$ were solvable, in fact the path they had chosen with Symbian/MeeGo/Qt was a good one, they just needed to step up the pace.

I do accept Symbian is dead, however it didn't die a natural death. NOKIA's problem is most of the Symbian world will probably move on to Android because it's the only OS that currently gives them the level of functionality they're used to.

NOKIA did not have to put all their eggs in one basket. That's especially stupid when you've already seen the one basket you've chosen to put all your eggs in is full of holes.

Samsung must absolutely love Elop.

Re: Symbian kills off Nokia brand value......

I dont like Symbian and i dont like Windows Phone. Whatever it is, its the fault of the CEO. Someone said here that he is there since 2007? Well thats 5 years and what we have now is worse than before. (Except N900/N9 but they dont have support)
