Yes, live in pink Tomi's world where everyone was happy with Nokia and the words 'burning platform' came out of nowhere. It is not that every analyst was scared of how fast sales were dropping (from June/July so by the time Q4 hit the praised Tomi growth was FAR FAR FAR below expectations). solution to stopping the train of NOK fanboys (were there any at the time or were all expected to be rebuyers, hence his deductions about stopping a train of users out of Nokia is just as misleading) leaving to other platforms was in Tomi's pink history: stick to your 'best'


Here's something else you might find interesting:
"Nokia sold 103.6 million smartphones in 2010. Nokia GREW smartphone sales in 2010 by 53% from the year before. Nokia added 35.8 million new smartphone customers during 2010, compared to 22.4 million new smartphone customers added by Apple, 17.0 million added by Samsung and 13.4 million added by RIM."

This is quite an interesting blog post, it reveals Elop and the board new exactly the possible (imo inevitable) outcome of deprecating Symbian/MeeGo and adopting Windows Phone yet they carried on and did so anyway without even having a plan B.
Yeah. Nokia failed symbian products had nothing to do with it. Tomi's crazy sounding calling Elop idiot 3-4 times, ****** 2 more, calling for investigation 10+... so professional... aside from lunacy in his post judge his appraisals: Symbian as top app market, lol. Nokia going further downhill (how many as Tomi is now, discussed 'burning platform'? somehow consensus at the time was NOK was losing massively to iOS, people discussed the strategy not the whole pink world Tomi is painting currently, everyone knew Symbian was dead). I am yet to see how TA replies to overwhelming 920 adoption, so far he claims it is astroturfers and deletes comments that tend to point his weaknesses. Buy his book, definitely best nostradamus rerelease around
