However does the decision really surprise anyone? Symbian has no future. Trying to improve Symbian is kinda like having a holocaust themed amusement park, wondering why nobody is coming through the gates, and saying "maybe we need to build bigger rides..".
There is too much history and negative press to ever get people interested again except for maybe the fanatics.

With Meego, Elop has probably gotten considerable 1 on 1 time with the device Nokia had planned, we haven't even really seen it yet... so to the people saying "whyyy????? " ....because obviously in the state it was in the device was crap (not competitive) and releasing another N97 is only going to send Nokia further down the toilet.

So I guess rather than wishing the N9 was released, I wish the N9 was good enough to be released...

Oh well... Android here I come
There is NOTHING Elop did after he joined as CEO.
It is probably more likely that the decision was taken before and he has been hired for executing it. The guy who hired Elop, what is that guys name? He seems sold to me!

At this point, I would even go ahead and say that CHEAP memo was written before he came to Nokia.

But one thing to Microsoft, well played. They again showed the world why they are the best!

See their execution, isn't it awesome! They just bought a company like Nokia for peanuts! Kudos there!

And in honesty, I wish failure for this partnership...
