Regaining leadership in the smartphone space

To help us achieve our mission, Nokia has formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft that will, we hope, see us regain lost ground in the smartphone market. Together, we intend to build a global ecosystem that surpasses anything currently in existence. The Nokia-Microsoft ecosystem will deliver differentiated and innovative products with unrivalled scale in terms of product breadth, geographical reach and brand identity.

So, they've partnered with Microsoft to regain their leadership in the smartphone space - the very same leadership they've lost after the partnership was announced and signed. Boy, this Elop is not only a genius, but clearly also a clairvoyant sage. Nokia is truly lucky to have him. Next Feb'11 he should gift each and every employee of Nokia, if there are some left by then, THIS book to celebrate his immense visionary decisions. Maybe he'll serve as an example in the 3rd edition...
