A relevant question to ask, is why is Nokia doing this. Why are they announcing that they will make an announcement a month before the announcement is made?

I cannot come up with any good answer, other than the announcement better be a worth while announcement, a groundbreaking one. If it is just a "was that all" kind of thing, this only shows Nokia is in really bad shape, at least Elop and his comrades on the top is.

Edit: Just had a revelation of sorts Nokia for me: I love the engineering, the technology, the hardware. For instance the N8, the perfect fit and weight, or the 6700 Slide - so perfectly shaped and engineered, or the 5800 - a perfect balance of functionality and price - excellent value even today. Even the N900 - a sturdy rough brick made of surprisingly high quality materials. I also love Symbian - THE perfect mobile OS (but could have been so much better today).

But then I look at what the Nokia management does, how they screw things up again and again, and I'm thinking why? There's something missing there, common sense, 20 points on the IQ scale or something. I don't know, but today they are just reacting to circumstances, they are not utilizing the talents within Nokia and there is no firm hand at the rudder.
