Indeed... no matter how much symbian would improve, still its success would completely dictate nokias fate. If it fails, nokia fails. If WP fails, nokia can just stop paying license payments to ms at the same second, no need to wait for an year or more to get rid from paying own (ex)employers..

BIG BLUE isn't doing PCs, Laptops, tablets or the like anymore;
they outsourced that business to Lenovo, just like NOKIA outsourced Symbian to Accenture.
the Lenovo K800 has nothing repeat nothing to do with IBM
capiche?

but yes, BIG BLUE, just like HP, Xerox (GM?, Chrysler?) is one of the blue chips that has been around for a long time & most likely will still be around... in the future.

exactly! just as Nokia isn't doing OS development (outside R&D projects such as maemo) anymore... big blue is still around because they have the balls to stop what they are doing and focus elsewhere they can compete (khrm nokia and HW manufacturing + logistics) if future doesn't seem that bright.
