Can't add much to the conversations about Nokia in the US, but can someone tell me what strategy MS will use to sell Nokia handsets? Because from what I can tell thats what will have to happen. Consumers will have to be convinced that this newcomer (Nokia) is a better alternative to iOS and Android manufacturers.

In Europe Nokia will sell MS. Everyone knows Nokia but if sales assistants in stores, carriers on their sites and tech sites dont get nokia to sound exciting again this wont work. Nokia has closed its own stores and has left the game to the free market completely.

I say best to them because as much as i dislike nokia's recent decisions i do not want them broken and bought by carnivorous companies who will suck their patents dry and throw out Nokia to the dogs. As much as people want this to happen, the result will not be pretty.
