There is now way in hell Nokia would cancel/ stop/ pause the Meego push. Right now that project is at critical mass ... it is moving at its own volition. Nokia needs a hardware out for Christmas, or early next year and the N8's demand should bee waning at this stage requiring pricing incentives to keep things up. They can't afford a product drought between January and May ... if he was to scrap plans beginning on his first day ... it will take a year plus to make the product through conception to implementation especially at a big company like Nokia which has phased releases, the N8 is not that ahead of the curve to warrant consistent demand a year after release.

It is done deal, Meego is safe ... if they ousted OPK 6 months ago it would have been a different story and more uncertainty would have arisen.

What Mr. Elop has to do is control the brand ... Nokia has lost credibility, and brand integrity in the North American segment. Outlets like Eldar, Engadget, Gizmodo control the Nokia narrative in the North American market begin to change that by being more transparent share news on products early like updates and new services (no news conference hullabaloo ... just tweet it and let the Engadget's find it), find the product leaker(s), and send out completed prototypes to reviewers even if it is a shitty phone ... will teach Nokia not to release something they cannot stand behind. Integrate some Ovi services into the Android market and the Iphone market. This will enhance Ovi's presence and create transitory bridges to the Nokia world from other phones. The NFC thing I've been hearing would create Nokia money if it was sold on Apples app market, it wouldn't be much money but having Ovi plastered on it creates the awareness needed. Nokia needs to improve customer support, it needs to make it a walk in type affair, no mailing out no middle man CSR's, just walk in give it in and pick it up when it is fixed also people who will quickly check for common issues ... Nokia phone support is seriously lacking and requires drastic changes. They need to reengage disenfranchised customers to see what phones are wanted, and to keep us in the loop not on operations but more specific tangibles as to what is happening with the current phone. Mr Elop can help by changing the N900 Meego policy ... a lot of goodwill will come from that.

He needs to stick to the plan for the most part. Release a meego phone and than reshape the services around the phones.
