Elop sent a personal video message, where he said thank you etc.

Well reporters talked to employees in ulm.
The engineers working at ulm are disappointed since they were very enthusiastic about the project they were working on (meltemi). Also people working there are from 30+ countries.
Member of management flew in with security guards (don't know name).
Elop sent a personal video message, where he said thank you etc., obviously the result was some laughter and boos.
One employee says he and many of his co-workers are convinced nokia will be dead (literally translated: go belly up) in a year or so.
Also from here:

I left out the details...

"Originally, Meltemi was developed in collaboration with subcontractor called Nomovok. In spring 2011, all subcontractor contracts were terminated. Meltemi development was continued in Oulu and part of the work was transferred to new location in Ulm,Germany (possibly because the termination of the Bochum plant was proved to be extremely expensive operation). If Nokia had continued to use subcontractors instead of moving the development to new people in new location, the Meltemi phone would have been ready last January. It is possible that McDowell got fired because she could not deliver the Meltemi phones in promised schedule.
Meanwhile, the Android phones have become cheaper and are now competing in the same price points the Meltemi phones were planned to operate, which could be a reason to cancel the Meltemi project. However, Elop has not admitted anything yet. It could be that the Meltemi work still continues in Oulu and the reason to close the Ulm was that they were just incompetent. Nokia still continues to develop QT and now that Symbian is buried, the only reason would be that there will be another QT compatible OS coming. I hope that Maemo/Linux work still continues, but I’m getting more doubtful all the time."

Ridicilous article that gives false hope on something that never will happen.
I guess the blogger havent seen the inteview with Eflop, where almost says Qt soon is dead for Nokia.

If Nokia continues to exist, it will only benefit Microsoft and that is IMHO a really bad thing for the sake of the mobile phone world.
I totally despise the new Nokia.
