After reading that article, I'm no longer surprised about all the delays releasing the N900. I'm actually left wondering how the N900 did make it to market, considering it was the first smartphone running a free operating system.

Some tidbits that left me pondering:

"To avoid catastrophic nominations no American or foreigner should be the CIO/CCO because Nokia product creation from innovations through concepting to design is very Finnish issue. [...] The CEO's role is to know how the machine runs, so nobody knows it better than a Nokia person."

Upsetting the Finnish way of doing thing would be catastrophic, [Juhani Risku] predicts.

"Americans bring in their own teams and it's a mess after two years."
Only six months passed since that article, ...and now Nokia has an American CEO, that not only brought his own team, but actually his whole company with him... It's like the board of directors read this interview and then decided to do exactly the opposite of what Risku advised, and then some..
