Also, as someone earlier said, I would be concerned only if there is any plan change to MeeGo, Qt. The 2 faces which this community wouldn't like to see go would definitely be Ari and Quim.

When a top leader leaves, it is always certain that he just doesn't leave alone.

So, lets all hope for the best. Tomorrow can't come any earlier!!
Agreed...

The more I'm feeling this the more I'm thinking based on Vanjoki's timing, he was acting somewhat in spite of the BOD...

I also doubt it was a result of being passed over. If that was truly his motivation he would have waited a month or so and made a quiet announcement. This all may have had more to do with the BOD deciding a North American face was what Nokia needs to compete at the market place.

The spite move was in the timing. Any positive movement in the price of NOK that the board may have hoped to gain by their announcement, Vanjoki's may have believed his move and timing would quash.

He controlled that game by conceding only half way into it and now a new game begins. The board may have gained nothing in the short term from their decision to sell Nokia's National pride so short.

But who here really knows? People at that level usually have stock options and generous severance packages. His timing could have just as easily been motivated by those terms and what was in his financial best interest.



The last couple of days^ show pretty good momentum, eh?



Today^, not so much.

The image was removed by me because apparently this guy believed that by posting it, it was somehow an indication of my character.
