First thing they need to do is fire Elop! Second is get a CEO that is a visionary nut with enough charisma to inspire the remaining Nokia developers, partners and users to have hope. Then they need to recant on the Windows only strategy. If Ballmer doesn't like that, so be it! If they have to renege on pledges made to Microsoft, so be it! Sure, Windows phone can remain part of the strategy, it has to be at this point. But, they need to realize that, save for a few Windows die-hards, most people do not care for Windows on a phone. People want: 1) Features 2) Apps 3) Games Provide that now with whatever OS you can, but do not discourage developers telling them their programs are on a dead end platform. If possible, come up with a cross platform way of producing those apps. Yes, Qt may be the answer. Force Microsoft to accept a Qt compatibility layer! Then make one for Android! Realize that the N9 is the best thing they have going for them. Look at the warm reception and scores of praise and accolades it has gotten and build on that. That is a pure Nokia product with potential to compete. It just needs to be let loose and a little love from the marketing department. Promise to continue the development of that platform.
