I don't think that's likely because many of the commentators in podcasts and in articles will admit that they had owned a Nokia in the past and really had hoped to see underdogs like Nokia and Palm and others restore their former glory, but the heads of companies like these often make the mistake of slipping up in their own hubris and never bother to listen to said commentators or customers, and it's very hard to come back from such falls. Sony is one such titan, falling hard lately. Nintendo's hubris produced the Nintendo 3DS rather than a handheld people really wanted (but then, they also tripped with the VirtualBoy, so maybe Nintendo just can't do 3D platforms adequately) and Apple very nearly disappeared into obscure computing history before they got Jobs back and he delivered what the customers wanted--if you're going to pay a lot for something, make sure it "just works", make it simple and make it high quality. The iPod (like it or not) was just what many people wanted and it saved the corporation's bacon. Nokia needs something like that. Windows Phone 7 has clearly shown that it is not what the majority of the purchasing public wanted... and Windows is a Microsoft product... a U.S. product. So, I doubt that's the problem for Nokia even in the U.S. media.

Agreed. As I'd said earlier, actions will speak louder than words but I strongly suspect Elop has designed this plan in such a way that disaster is inevitable and we'll never get to know whether he would be the type of CEO to admit he was wrong and turn things around.
