Can't say I didn't see it coming.

Sends a message that there's a huge disconnect between the folks that produce the stuff and the management that decides stuff.

Pretty big though indeed.

Is there anything we can do to get our old nokia back??? Like an open letter to the stock holders to fire Elop and stop this madness??
Well, there's things you can do - even though it's unlikely they'll be successful if you're alone.

You can buy Nokias Symbian phones as long as they're available. (I enjoy my C7.) They said they plan to sell quite a few of them during the next years, so... Show them that Symbian is a powerful platform you want, while W7 is not.

If they release a MeeGo powered device, buy it. Show them that MeeGo is the powerful new platform you want, while W7 is not.

Avoid buying any W7 product, Nokia or other.

This is the only language anyone up there will understand. Imagine the situation Flop will find himself in if in February 2012 he has to present figures that show how W7 failed and how an improved Symbian and an exciting new MeeGo keep selling better and better. He will have to answer questions like "Who had this W7 idea in the first place? Why do you still keep this OS alive?"

Well... thats what you could do. And that's what would work 100% if you find enough people to join you. If you don't, you still have a phone. Well...

I am sorry, but this is a baseless dream - without money MeeGo quality will be the same as Maemo5 in Nokia hands. No support, no wishfull features... no big sell.

Obviously I will never buy a wp7 device. But the way nokia is putting everytxhing behind wp7, it will go bankrupt and elop will just go back to Microsoft with a sweet bonus. Looks like we the nokia fans who believed in a cross platform open os are going to be screwed.

Sad thing is, Elop thought this was a fire extinguisher for the burning platform.

Is it possible to fire this guy? Does the board had prerogatives for that? Since this morning I can't breathe, so shocked!

Elop would not have made this announcement unless he knew he had the full backing of the Nokia board.
