It says a lot about Nokia and Windows Phone that less than 1 year after release, the cost of the flagship device goes from £400 to £140.
"What maddness to so quickly abandon devices! Customers won't stay loyal having suffered such mistreatment," I exclaim as I survey my collection of Maemo Internet tablets and phones.

If it were about "Connecting People" that would go hands-down to Apple who makes it seamless for Apple customers to benefit from their smart(restrained)phone.

Even though Nokia have abandoned Maemo, I can still make it do what I want, only the other day I was messing around with PHP and putting a webserver on my N900, I thought what a great idea to make it a backup to my primary web server, I had just had a power supply fail in my secondary server.
32gb of storage and all the openey goodness I want.

Lumia sales must be bombing if they are having to cut the price so much to clear inventory.

An incompetent CEO would simply forget about such a thing...
A downright dumb CEO would sign that not only we don't ask you for compensation; we abandon any hopes of jumping ship if things get worst with you...
Elop, hats off to you!

Well I was going to create a post along the lines of "this is just one store, does not reflect Nokias support". However after looking around at others stores it appears as though the Lumia 800 is on the clearance shelves elsewhere too...
Carphone warehouse: Free with £12.50 contract
NOKNOK: Lumia 800 white £159
Asda: Lumia 800 black £149
Looks like other retailers are dropping the prices too, maybe they are having their own little fire sales?
