I think this is a very classic proxy-fight takeover. The decisions were probably made last year, just before Elop got to the helm of Nokia.

That may be the reason why there is virtually no resistance within board to the Elop's strategy. It also explains why certain design leads left, and the disappearance of Rich Green.

Sorry guys, it looked the N9 (I am more of N950 type of person) could change things.

I really hope I am dead wrong about this.

BTW: Take a look at Nokia stocks just before and after the N9 was announced, than take a look at the situation this morning.
