Back to topic. Read through Ahonens blog one more time. Ahonen was once a source for reasoned and balanced comments, funny and to the point. But this last one is just sad, he has lost it. He is like a scared disillusioned 14 year old with a hatred he cannot control. Scared because his beloved Nokia is in danger. Disillusioned because he thought Elop actually would continue on the same path as OPK, only at a different paste, with improved execution.

The error at Nokia has never been lack of execution, that's a myth. The error has been a mismatch between strategy and resources to fulfill the strategy. For instance Symbian. Symbian should be renewed and everything should be OK. This is a good strategy, and only requires the proper execution - wrong. Symbian is too far gone, development is too costly now, it takes too long and Nokia didn't have the right stuff to do it. Clearly the strategy continuing with Symbian is wrong, there is no lack of execution. An impossible task doesn't suddenly become possible by saying it is possible over and over. But Symbian was part of the heart and soul at Nokia, and he just couldn't get the message out unless he yelled it out as loud and ugly as he possibly could. Symbian will hump along for some years, Harmattan will fill the gap somehow until WP8 and some adjustments here and there, but then it is stop for Symbian. That is the only sound strategy, because that is the only strategy they are capable of executing. Harmattan may continue, I believe it will as long as it is kept within a small team and the devices makes enough money to pay for that team.

So, it is just sad that Ahonen has chosen to go "Eldar" instead of understanding what is going on. He is just making unnecessary difficulties for Nokia, and making himself irrelevant in the process.
