Here's some more prescient speculation:

"The cutbacks, which will hit manufacturing facilities in Finland, Hungary, and Mexico, brings total planned job cuts to more than 30,000 since Stephen Elop took the CEO spot in September 2010, cites Reuters. And it comes on the tail of bad earnings news: Fourth-quarter smartphone sales fell 31 percent from a year ago, and the company had "a steep loss" for the quarter, according to the wire report."

"As we all know, though, the money -- and the margin -- is in the smartphone business. Nokia's chance to get any significant portion of that market looks bleaker every month. We'll see what Elop has to say at this year's MWC show, starting Feb. 27."

Keep blaming those salespeople, Elop. THAT'S the ticket!
