I still am not getting why people are not getting this right.
There would be no change in what Nokia is doing currently. Symbian^3, Symbian^4, Qt, MeeGo,etc. They all would remain the way they have been planned.
Elop is hired with a hope that he could be a showman for Nokia
That's my concern about his resignation in 6 months. His replacement will have to up the ante quite a bit to sell me as well as he did when he talked.

Really sad news!
since nokia is a finnish company i prefer that the leaders of the company are from finland. there are alot of good intelligent people in finland and theres actually no good reason at all to import staff members from other countries.
its almost like a insult to the finnish people, what nokia does.
sending out a message to the finnish people that they apparantly arent good enough to be on the top ...or maybe the company just got infiltrated :-(
More Finns should be removed from upper management within Nokia and if they are replaced by non-Finns it will almost certainly result in the quality bar being raised immeasurably.
Why the head of Design is a Finn I have no idea, what the hell have Finns ever designed? It all started going wrong with Nokia product designs when Frank Nuovo (an American, the head of Nokias Global Design team) left the company in 2006 to be replaced by... a Finn who knows nothing about product design. Rinse and repeat in pretty much every critical area of Nokia upper management.

hah, this is what people have been saying for so long. Nokia, the days of building a phone only are GONE. that was 10 years ago. people have moved on to services and applications.

And about current desing of touchphones? IMO anyone. Yes anyone could do that shait. Itīs like letīs put this 3-4 inch screen and welllllll letīs try different materials and different corners and maybe keyboard or not. Ohh wow that pure genius. Every touchphone looks like one another to me. Little things but currently UI of smartphone has come the one aspect of design of whole product. Not a long ago it was how you place keyboard and man there was different approaches to that.
Iīm not saying that current design is bad but I do not see it as it needs any expertise. Next thing that might make things different are foldable and rollable displays.
