And I begin to realise this is what Elop is talking about when he bashing about WP7.

Means Symbian/Meego will still be alive in european and WP7. Cause they know it will take some time before they actually have brainwatched US consumers. And when that is done european is next to try.

Still I think they will fail
Yes they are, Microsoft does not CONTROL Nokia. Nokia controls ITSELF, but is going to be 100% reliant on Microsoft's OS in the US market. This reliance has nothing to do with the carrier relationships or distribution. Less availability of devices means much less sales. It's as simple as that. US being as 'carrier run' as it is doesn't bode well with Nokia's unsubsidized strategy that they have employed for so long in the US.

You keep wishing for WP7 to fail. Keep in mind, if WP7 fails.....Nokia fails. So yea.... :/
