I've been so mad with Nokia that this article from New York Times brings happy news for me:
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/19/te...-lag.html?_r=0

I wonder now what will really happen to Nokia if that tendency keep up. Will it become just some obscure smartphone producer? I certainly hope so after abandoning MeeGo

Nokia is currently ranked 9th biggest smartphone maker in the world behind Samsung, Apple, Huawei, RIM, HTC, ZTE, Sony and Lenovo. Before Elop announced his WP strategy Nokia was twice as big as Apple and 3 times as big as Samsung.

Hence Elop's desperation to get the Asha to be certified as smartphones...

They will be propelled to 4th-6th by the next quarter thanks to Asha...

Haha... Elop. They could picked a random person on the street and that person would have done a better job than elop for 1% of his salary.

What was the board thinking? How incompetent can you be?

We still don't have the final picture yet, but it doesn't look good.

What's really interesting is that although the 808 is the only Symbian-based smartphone introduced recently and although all of Nokia's marketing went into the Lumia series, the figures say that they sold more Symbian devices (including maybe N9s, too) than Lumias. That's really something.

I wonder for how long Nokia will be able to bleed money like this.

If the new Lumia's won't sell well their in for a har(er) time. It's pretty much now or never in my eyes.

It's a shame they didn't push the N9 and totally abandonded it instead in favor or the Lumia 800, which in the end didn't sell enough at all although it's a fairly popular device. I owned one for a few months. I like my N9 better.

They actually lost less this quarter than they have for the last 3. Elop's mandate from the board will only last so long unless wp8 shows a marked improvement in sales beyond the failure of the first gen lumia handsets, especially in the USA.
we may yet see the board force the implementation of their "backup" strategy If they continue to bleed cash despite the $250m MS is putting in.
