WP needed a shock start to get any interest towards Nokia anymore, get developers to WP and for once in 4 years make it clear what direction Nokia is going and hold on to it.

Nokia got the money to go trough this easily, that's not the problem, but they need to ensure that future platform actually moves forward and not have all this open "what if" stuff going on and if they do they are keeping it under the wraps.
Not what that total failiure of OPK did to Nokia.
I see no problem with your arguments, and WP7 have potential on being good to Nokia in the long run. The stupid idea in my opinion is to declare the main asset of the company "dead", when the substitute will only be available 9 months later. What they did expect to sell in the meantime? Who would buy Symbian if Nokia already declared it dead? I know about the support about 2016, but it doesn't help keeping it alive. It just put a date on it.
