Like it never ever happened that good company was ruined by top managers decisions whose idiocy was immediately obvious to anybody outside the inner circle and with more than two brain cells. You don't even need to go for conspiracy theories, you can explain that with things like group think and group stupidity.

Even if I think it maybe true about Meltemi and QT == dead at nokia, but thing is:
I have not seen ANY official info about that rumor? Except some angry Nokia employers on twitter. But can we REALLY be sure?
AFAIK the R&D was not the once fired...
Second we can hate Elop for stupid decisions in February 2011. But it is NOT only him who ****ed up Nokia.
They should had FIRED every damn ****ing person at the marketing department!

May be there is some truth about the carnivorous behavior of the big companies .When a lion takes over a new pride the very first thing to do is to kill all the cubs, Elop just did that

How long does he think that the "strategy is evolving" bullcrap is going fly? Two years of that same old routine and same old hollow words. At least come up with new punchline for not saying anything with any real content.

Qt is a dead man walking since long back. It's available but very few cares. And why should they?

This goes to show how toothless the board of directors truly are at Nokia. This could have been prevented 5 years ago. Now... 10k+ people are out of a job on this cut. More last year. More next year... watch.

People are temporarily without jobs, but the mobile industry is expanding, so things aren't all black, just shifted.
Back in 2007-2009-ish, the problem at Nokia was commonly known to be that of not being able to execute, not being able to get the stuff out and into the market in a timely fashion with the right quality. Maybe no one had the guts to to what was needed because it would involve sacking half of the employees? Just wondering.
