Perhaps so, but AFAIK the Meltemi project was also initiated after Elop was already in the office. Why do you think they allowed that, just a smoke screen? Also, MS has no viable platform to offer for low end phones. Don't you think it looks a bit odd if Nokia halts development on that area too, the only market where they still have some sales to speak of? (quite soon, I don't think S40 has a chance against low end androids without Qt).
