Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
IT's about TIME!
He doing Nokia no good! Nokia could hire someone that better and good at hyping up the device and persuading developer like the iPhone Steve Jobs. |

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
I'm not too familiar with either OPK or Elop. What are the potential pros/cons of this change?

This is good news. Some fresh blood should stir things up a bit.

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
Bad news. Hope this guy doesn't ruin the work of so many years. :(
|
Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
Anyone know more about this guy's history?
I'm waiting for a Wikipedia page to spring up on this guy. Man, times they are-a-changing! This is the first time Nokia isn't under Finnish leadership. I'm guessing this will be a blow to our collective egos, but Imm pretty sure that accross the pond this will go over very well.... :) |

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
From Microsoft, eh? I can't tell yet whether to clap or to cringe at this news. Nokia did the right thing in replacing the old, ineffective and unworthy CEO with a new one to see if someone else can drive this old damaged bus around without hitting the guardrails of the Information Superhighway over and over again like the last guy. :P On the other hand, coming from Microsoft, I have to wonder whether his opinion of open-source is positive, ambiguous or negative--or maybe whether he'll take advantage of their portfolio to attack it ala Darl McBride. Hm.

Nokia can't live from hype. Why the guys with least information write the most "analyses" here and in general in internets? |

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
OPK was ultimately driven out by the press. It's kind of sad that he leaves the day after "Dow Jones Indexes names Nokia as world's most sustainable technology company for second year in a row".

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
Loistava!!
Although I love the fact that the dude got a 4.6 million euro severance package. You gotta love the CEO life. "Even though you screwed up here is a bunch of cash"!!!!! |
Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
My n900 has taken to freezing on a daily basis (requiring me to pull out the battery). The phone usually rotates to portrait except when it doesn't.
In other words...this news effects me how...??? |

*Nokia N8 sells millions *Qt becomes most used mobile programming language *Symbian^4 faster, slicker and better *MeeGo becomes default OS from your mobile to your toilet *Thanks to a North American Nokia was saved from the incompetent European hands. Everything is more or less on track for at least some of those to happen. As ossipena said, OPKs work will be harvested in the long run (if the new CEO does not come with an ax) and our brothers from the other side of the ocean can finally rest knowing that another company was "saved" thanks to them. |
Re: Nokia CEO Resigns

Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
Oh man. It just hit me. The Nokia faithful are invariably upset because of the fact that a Microsoft alum is at the helm now.
Think of it this way. In a year you can say that everything is his fault - despite the next year invariably being what OPK set in motion (MeeGo, Symbian^4, the N-series shuffle to MeeGo, et al) and if they fail, blame the North American (he's Canadian, btw). Regardless... seeing this as a good or bad thing... too early to tell indeed. |

OPK's main areas were OVI (the fail whale), turning Nokia into a software company (yeah thats worked well what with the N8 delayed over 3 months past penned release date), becoming an internet company (hey lets copy google, but without the money/talent), selling core areas of expertise that other companies didn't have (e.g. getting shot of RF/layout designers to STE, selling off the wireless modem division to Renesas). As you can tell I'm quite bitter that he's getting 4.6M Eur payoff plus compensation for the 100000 shares he had. |
Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
I may buy Nokia stock. I expect the value to increase for awhile while Nokia makes some changes. Then I expect the value to drop again.
The trick is to get in for the optimism, then get out before reality is realized. To me, this signifies the end of Nokia's "maverick" program, which is Internet Tablets and what followed. Agreements with megacorporations like Intel and Microsoft will follow. Nokia will be absorbed and will try to find safety among the giant corporations of the world. I don't think this is good news from the point of view of our little tablets. |
Re: Nokia CEO Resigns
We shall wait and see..
Steve, we got our eyes on you. Don't let is down. |
