Thanks for calling me stupid. It really validates your point.

I guess you overlooked the statement I made about how Symbian was a big seller for Nokia until Elop made that announcement distancing Nokia from Symbian.

So let's recap, in smaller words. Symbian was selling great. Along came Elop. He stated that Nokia was going away from Symbian. Sales started slipping on Symbian. WP7 isn't selling great - 1 million or so phones tops so far for Nokia; more for Symbian even on their decline. Nokia's share is lesser now than ever. And their valuation - be it stock or otherwise - is lower now too.

Sales might have been going up, but not after Elop's comments. Added on top of the loss of sales due to competition, that's not a good formula for Nokia. Worse, WP7 isn't gathering the attention of even Harmattan right now.

And in the future, keep the conversation civil and adult. I know it's hard to do, but it makes for a better community.

Take care.
