Stephen Elop is the Fred Goodwin of the Mobile phone industry, and with him in charge I think Nokia could be ultimately doomed.
Nokia's problems are well known and documented.
Ditching Symbian in the way he did was stupid and harmful to Nokia in the short to medium term.
Ditching Meego was harmful as the success of the N9 has shown. it had a lot of potential, even if there was rough edges still.
I don't think Elop is a planned trojan horse for Microsoft, but it is what he knows, and it probably written though him like a stick of rock, and seemed the safe bet, and along with a massive bung from Microsoft.
A brave Nokia, proud of it's WP devices would have had no fear in pushing the N9 widely - either Nokia or quite possibly Microsoft feared the shadow the N9 would cast over the WP devices. Nokia need to find that brave adventurous streak again, but I am fearful that they won't.

It's just another fondleslab. Same formfactor that's been flooding the market since the launch of the first iPhone.

I got a galaxy note last month. it's pretty good. It is something a bit different and is new and up to date. If only it had maemo5 and a hardware kb it would be the best thing since sliced n900s.
I can see the point of the form factor argument though. Why do companies seem to think we all want a featureless rectangle with no buttons? The note could easily have a camera button on the side and there's plenty of room still for a few more. a camera cover of some kind would have beenn nie too. It's like designers have watched the film 2001 too much. I suppose in the current climate the notes size and s-pen stylus can be seen as pretty innovative in comparison, which is why lots of people like it. Everyone at work wants one too now. With any luck designers might latch on to the success and start adding more varied designs to the market.

I think the only way Nokia can succeed is if they make something of their "special agreement".
They need to pack that polycarbonate with their best quality cameras, largest possible battery, 4G LTE, the fastest available SoC (for WP) and supplement their own User eXperince (a la Swipe UI).
As long as this device is the best crop (spec wise) from Windows Phone, and it looks (polycarbonate) and behaves (SwipeUI) different to the competitors....then NOKIA has a real chance!
Otherwise, they're slowly sinking in the icy waters of the Pacific regardless of how hard they trot
But the greatest impediment to WP is the name Windows Phone itself. Nobody wants Windows on their phones as it is associated with a bloated, buggy, malware infested OS and a monopolistic Microsoft. Of course they are different but the name and automatic association rankles.
MS will lead Nokia to an early grave, no doubt about that.

don't you feel like it will happen the same with google and its android?
from my point of view market needs a real open source OS.
For me maemo series was a gift from Nokia.
MAEMO is the unique OS with SOUL.
