Level 1- Symbian needed to go to thrash. It finally did. Good riddance. Great when there was no competition. When competition rose, it was outcompeted.

Level 2- Maemo. Great idea, horrible execution, horrible delays, no one knew who was in charge. Nobody championed it to get things done right. Since 2006 they could not compete with iphone. Fail. Elop rightly axed it. How many itinerations you need before it stares at you and says: " I am just not competitive"

Level 3- it took since 2008 Jussa to develop Harmattan, fail. Few fanboys left in the world that love Harmattan, but overall a fail. It can not do the basics as smoothly as other platforms and fails on many levels. And it was supposed to succeed Maemo 5...that is just utter incompetence. Funny that I say this: google Jussa Jolla...see what pops first

Level 4- faced with incompetence at NOKIA, Elop aborts retaaards (Symbian, Maemo, Harmattan), and goes for a working platform, WP8

Level 5- WP8 succeeds, fine. It doesnt succeed, Elop axed, NOKIA has to go with Android or Jolla succeeds (less than likely given Jussa pedigree), and NOKIA buys JOLLA.



How many levels did you miss?
