Yes, if you enjoy paranoid worrying: what does Elop have to gain by releasing a Harmattan device?
  • If the Harmattan device is wildly successful, if the tech press are inclined to be gracious to it due to the doom and gloom surrounding the poor thing, then Elop and the Windows Phone strategy might be questioned.
  • If the Harmattan device goes unnoticed by the world at large, as the Fremantle lead device did, then what's to gain? It won't go anywhere toward helping keeping Nokia afloat until those Windows Phone devices start heading out the doors.
  • If the Harmattan device is a flop, a flop now, while the world's press seems hungry for more and more news that casts doubt on Nokia's (and Elop's) future, then Nokia's board may question Elop and his leadership ability.
Have a nice day.
