Forgive me if I'm wrong, but don't large multi-national companies who rely on sales actually need someone to head their sales department?
No idea, maybe they outsourced that too.

Awards and acclaim don't pay the bills. Elop's response to "mixed" sales results? Do more of what he's already been doing, and do it faster.

When in hole, do you stop digging... or do you bring in a freakin' JCB and go for gold?

Whatever, too late anyway.
He thinks that if he digs long enough he will come out on the other side. His burning platform analogy seems more like "out of the frying pan, into the fire" day by day.

Actually its very good. Very good indeed and it tails with what we are seeing now. Smartphone is a phone that does things to you, not the other way around. its a phone that you dont need to tweak much, works out of the box and prompts things you need without fuss.


I like the article. Spot on. And the average user proves it by bying it. The average user is smarter than 90% of the people on this board.

I think it's time for a warm and fuzzy abill_uk-like bedtime story.

Once upon a time lumiaman went to turn on his computer and electrocuted himself, and everyone lived happily ever after.

The End

Huh? This is a massive corporate failure on an unprecedented level.

I think we can all agree that Europeans couldn't possibly manage this alone. Successfully causing a disaster on this scale requires global teamwork.

If i was confident Europe wouldn't cut it anymore, i would (and could) move easily to the US instead of switching offices a few times a year, having the right education and job. But nature beware, there are already enough sales-lobotomized id*ots walking the streets in the EU, and here (again, currently in the US) i would have to live with even more little Lumiamans. Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stay in EU.

Lets face it. I meant in terms of having a large techno corporation like NOKIA. I understand that its a shame that Europe will lose a technology giant. Europe has to ask themselves, why are they so attached to iphone and android, and what are they lacking to create such experiences.
