Yet another catastrophic blunder that will cost NOKIA a large fortune.
Nokia basicly gave up the low end, A.K.A the only segment were they were competive, with the Meltemi cancellation.

Of all the Elop stupidity it's both the dumbest and the least appreciated one. The 400 - 500 people being sacked from the mobile-phones (non-smartphone) unit is just the beginning. S40/Asha/What The ****ing Ever it's called this week or before next month is soon Android's road kill. Nokia just getting rid of the people it won't be needing, now that it won't be competing in the low-end anymore.
