TBH the whole board is responsible, one person cannot kill a company, they voted in favor, he did not do it on his own, so the whole board has a problem. I was actually talking to someone about that. Even though there is an investigation, Ms would still not be blamed because they did not make the decision.

Nokia stocks are still going down today. down by 3.74 -0.08‎ (-1.96%‎). I think Elop will now be forced to create a Plan B and he have to make it happen or Elop will get fired.

Don't worry. Elop et al. have a Plan B. Grab golden parachute and land somewhere near Redmond Washington...

If you're referring to the 1 billion $ bribe, well, that was burned within just one (!) quarter. WP has been nothing but a big loss for Nokia till now. But since it's the last remaining option on the table, Nokia has to eat it, or die trying.

Wait! This was one-time only payback??? Had the understanding that as long as Nokia endorses WP those will trickle down... Would keep them lossless at least for some time

*If* Nokia makes WP improvements *that MS accepts* then Nokia can get some royalties.

Great deal, eh?

Plan A is not about phones, it's about ecosystems. (and yes, some people here don't like the word ecosystem). Plan A is to cooperate with MS creating a third ecosystem. Obviously there is no plan B, Nokia cannot create [a competitive] ecosystem for high end smartphones on their own, they tried and failed (Symbian, Maemo).

Nokia needs to lower the prices for Lumias. If they don't, WP will be gone forever, but Nokia will not be gone. As it looks right now (extremely regrettably I must admit) is that in one year we will see the first Nokia PureView running Android.

Not actually. It is supposed to be paid by Microsoft over 4 quarters at US$250 million per quarter. The first bribe was paid in Q4 2011. The second should have just been paid. I take it that Nokia's mega losses are despite these payouts.
