WP + Nokia = cool ecosystem, cool devices, cool OS for high end, future proof.
But... Zune Marketplace isn't everywhere Nokia sells devices. So, how will people have access to this cool ecosystem when it's not even native in their language, locale or even with content?

Huge gap right there for Microsoft.

Harmattan = question mark, but will provide synergy with Symbian.
That's what needs to have plans set up around it... and Elop just ain't doing it.

My point is this: WP is high end and it will take several years before WP is pushed down to mid end (as stated by Elop).
I have an WP7 phone. The OS, the ecosystem, the way it integrates into my active lifestyle... it's not high end. In fact, it's a feature phone at best.

And I'm being kind by saying that. Let's be realistic for a moment... saying it is high end, selling it at high end, and ultimately selling it at all have been three things that have yet to happen convincingly in regards to WP7.

And if you say "Oh, but you bought one..." it's because it's my job to evaluate new OS's to see how viable of a solution it is. I've already passed on WP7.
