Why they did that, we will never know the details. And certainly you and I have the least of them. Stop bashing Elop when problems at NOKIA were clearly bad prior to him. He is cleaning the house, and he may clean the whole company with his decisions, but he tried. NOKIA was otherwise destined for certain death.

Yet again, you're wrong. Anssi Vanjoki was supposed to get the job, and he was going to use MeeGo as Nokia's primary OS. The board wanted Anssi. The only reason Elop got the job was because of pressure from American investors.

And Elop's job was to streamline their operations and use the plan they had implemented before his arrival - which was to migrate symbian users to MeeGo.

If you're going to troll, at least have half a brain ;)

To think that the share price was almost 30 EUR some 5 years ago back when the first iPhone was released. All they needed was a slick finger friendly GUI for Symbian..

Developers will disagree but from a disinterested consumer point of view, you're not far off.

Remember the stupid statements from Nokia CEO IIRC that for Symbian to be touch-friendly they needed 2 weeks and it would be an iphone competitor...How much more incompetent can one get...

Nokia jumped from one incompetent CEO to another incompetent idiot...

Since he was brought up...

Did you know that Anssi Vanjoki is finally getting to his goal of being CEO... of a former Nokia phone brand?

He's going with Android, but what were his options.

Yup he will be Vertu CEO most probably but the Android part is a rumour...He had said something demeaning of Android before so I don't think its that likely Android would be chosen...

When they're bringing in a CEO they probably have some guidelines he'll have to accept, so it may be true indeed. Or not.

Since I'm so active today, I'll include this graph that Tomi made:

See if you can spot the typo. It's glaring.

Haha Tomi is like the anti-Lumiaman...He'll massage facts (Q4, '10 wtf?) to just get his bias points across..

Oh and the "Source" of his figures and diagrams never fail to amaze me...Both Tomi and Lumiaman are those who you just want to laugh at...
