What *should* they do? Tell M$ to P.O. and go with Meego Harmattan.
Its too late to change the course.

Meego/Maemo team was mostly dismantled, the small crew doing Meltemi work are concentrating on low-end devices. Marketshare is plummeting down, commercial 3rd party developers are leaving (mobile) Qt and so on.

By the time Nokia would have something new ready for smartphonemarket, it would have already lost remaining marketshare, whatever is left at the bank, Qt ecosystem, brand recognition etc. Its about being a boring Microsoft OEM or shutting down/selling the business for Nokia from now onwards.

OPK era Nokia did the right things badly, Elop era Nokia does stupid things idioticly.
