Going Android/WP7 as a stopgap measure is understandable, as long as they still work on developing their own Qt delivery system... otherwise, Elop seems to have just made the deal of the century.... for Microsoft.
I tend to agree, although I feel that Nokia NEEDS to lose its very big, chunky, ample, grotesquely fat corporate ego... er brand personality, as you called it. I don't think Nokia was able to look past its fat gut to see that its toes were infected and rotting away. I would hope that whatever they do, they don't abandon their strive to create a competitive open-source promoting platform that has the potential to be uniquely better--but in the meantime, they've abandoned their health so badly that while they may not feel it, they're quickly heading toward a fatal state of illness they may never be able to pull back out of.
