OPK wanted to go on the high, but they all new, that the battle was lost.

So the problem for people like you, is that you dont understand that despite the great numbers (hell BB had them too, should I pull those also?), the pre-ELOP nokia was dead man walking. Everyone was abandoning Symbian. It looks like OPK went on the high note, while it belied his incompetence to set a new course for NOKIA.

YOu can inhale this numbers, let them soothe your belief that somehow Elop destroyed NOKIA, that somehow Finns hired the butcher and let him kill the whole of Finland, without a single Finn raising a hand to stop him (sounds like Finns are then very impotent under that scenario). But the beauty of the human brain is to dig underneath the numbers and to realize that pre-Elop NOKIA was dead. Very dead. So dead, that they brought in Elop to set a new course. If you dont see this, you will lose on investments, you will lose when you lead, and you are a loser.
I am a simple guy. All I know is this: a single digit number, says 5 is much less than 100. As in most things in life, more is better. So, under Mr Elop's leadership, Nokia latest sale were under 10M; Nokia sale in 2009-2010 were 100M. So, on sale # alone, Elop is not doing too hot.

So, let me think... Nokia went from being able to sell 100M units to below 10M, and other Android phone(say Samsung) went from 10M(my guess) to 90M(saw this # somewhere). if you can call Nokia's result is a improvement/a turn-around, Wow...what a concept,.

If Nokia was very dead before Elop, then do I have to believe that Nokia is MUCH better now because they are having 10x less sale and putting themself up for sale is a good thing.

By the way, it seems that you like to change the channel again by talking about BB's numbers. If you believe Nokia under Elop is doing better than before Mr. Elop's management? Then I guess you are wearing a much better rose-colored lens than I. Well, it is a 'free' internet ; you are entitled to what you think.
