NOKIA should have gone Android route, but they should have done it before Elop. By the time Elop came, it was too late. With regards to Maemo team, I honestly think they cant deliver. It took them since 2008 to come up with N9, and they came up with a beta device. Sorry, but that team had not leadership, no wonder Jussa got axed as a CEO and they put some Mark guy there now. What is this obsession with Elop? Elop was brought in to do the obvious. Get rid of obsolete OSs (Symbian, Maemo, Meego) and move on. They considered Android, they went with WP. Why they did that, we will never know the details. And certainly you and I have the least of them. Stop bashing Elop when problems at NOKIA were clearly bad prior to him. He is cleaning the house, and he may clean the whole company with his decisions, but he tried. NOKIA was otherwise destined for certain death.
