Nokia announced in SEPT 2010 the appointment of an ex MICROSOFT director to CEO.

Instead of the internal one who supported QT, Symbian, Maemo/Meego etc.

DEC 2010 mainstream companies deploying Symbian announce they will stop supporting it!

Hmmm .... coincidence?

Are you really saying that the strategists from some of the best tech industries on the planet wouldn't be able to spot what was coming next?

They didn't jump ship because Symbian was dying, they jumped ship becuase the 8th largest shareholder from Microsoft was appointed to Nokia CEO and it was obvious he was always going to choose the Windows platform.
