I'd say a lesson learned would be to introduce a Mango phone sooner than later and see how well it sells. And start with a Plan B just in case - this "all-in" strategy has never worked for Nokia.
First Apple horror show and now Nokia horror show. Well, from a corporate point of view Elop (and the rest of Nokia administration) is a genius, or at least it is first class business handywork. They are in deep ****, far above their heads, still they manage to make money. Now, if they only were half as good making/renewing Symbian some 2-3 years ago, none of this would have happened, but that's another matter.

This means that the cooperation with MS isn't all that important as we might believe regarding Nokias survival. It means that the N9 will live on. It means S40 is the future. Nokia must have known where this was heading at least a year ago, and what we are seeing now is a masterpiece of cutting losses and simultaneously they are building the new future fighting off uncertainties along the way. But again, if they only were half as good fixing symbian some 2-3 years ago.

That is one way of looking at this, the positive way, the correct way. Looking forward to mid August (tablet), then September (N9) and Bada 2.0, October (S40+WP).

I'm not arguing with him at all. No need.

But it's rather rare that I turn 180 degrees and agree with a term I previously never believed in. Astroturfing works, even Ars Technica agrees...

Oh well.

then they hit reality and saw that sales were not good and decided not to release any more Windows (insert new marketing name) phones.

I read about that too, but it talks about 'pro' level astroturfing though... when it's done with some some marketing work (website, pamphlets, etc) masquerading as legitimate nonprofits and whatnot.

rofl!

i meant with pro-level marketing spending then the generated image would lend more credibility to the message.

he doesn't have much of that.

pe: moreover, what worked (against me) were those astroturfers with ambiguous names (Donated by people like you, Friends of xxx, and so forth)

Yeah... I was merely joshing. But I totally get what you meant the first time. I just have to state that it's rather entertaining now.

I read his posts in the voice of Brian Blessed trying to whisper.
