If people continue to buy Symbian based products in the same numbers as before, they will be seen as supporting Nokia and (by implication) their chosen future strategy with Microsoft.

Whereas on the other hand if people stop buying Symbian and sales fall off a cliff, the Nokia board will claim they were right all along to dump Symbian by switching to WP7.

It's a tough call what to do - either way the board can spin the sales figures to make it look like they made the right choice.

A vote of no confidence in the board and this strategy is likely the only hope, and that will only happen if the share price continues to plummet.

The staff working to rule or walking out en mass wouldn't hurt either as they've got nothing to lose - they're being dumped on from a great height by the board and executive managers who are responsible for getting Nokia into this mess in the first place, and none of them will be losing their jobs.
