Exactly. Nokia have spent millions (maybe even billions) on making something like Symbian Belle, which isn't even released yet, and Elop officially trashes it. WTF! Symbian sells more phones in one hour than WP7 sells in a month! It just doesn't make any sense killing your cash cow before you have a new (better) one.
