You're so vain. You probably think this comment is about you.

Oh man. It just hit me. The Nokia faithful are invariably upset because of the fact that a Microsoft alum is at the helm now.

Think of it this way. In a year you can say that everything is his fault - despite the next year invariably being what OPK set in motion (MeeGo, Symbian^4, the N-series shuffle to MeeGo, et al) and if they fail, blame the North American (he's Canadian, btw).

Regardless... seeing this as a good or bad thing... too early to tell indeed.

Gerbick - OPK didn't have anything to do with the linux open source work - that was all OPK's predecessor Jorma Ollila. I suspect OPK had very little to do with Meego (the partnership with intel).

OPK's main areas were OVI (the fail whale), turning Nokia into a software company (yeah thats worked well what with the N8 delayed over 3 months past penned release date), becoming an internet company (hey lets copy google, but without the money/talent), selling core areas of expertise that other companies didn't have (e.g. getting shot of RF/layout designers to STE, selling off the wireless modem division to Renesas).

As you can tell I'm quite bitter that he's getting 4.6M Eur payoff plus compensation for the 100000 shares he had.

I may buy Nokia stock. I expect the value to increase for awhile while Nokia makes some changes. Then I expect the value to drop again.
The trick is to get in for the optimism, then get out before reality is realized.

To me, this signifies the end of Nokia's "maverick" program, which is Internet Tablets and what followed. Agreements with megacorporations like Intel and Microsoft will follow. Nokia will be absorbed and will try to find safety among the giant corporations of the world.

I don't think this is good news from the point of view of our little tablets.
