I guess we can all hope that Microsoft has given billions of dollars to Nokia, and that it turns out Nokia doesn't know how to make hardware anymore either!

if nokia was smart they woulda had harmattan to market on an n9 device last fall.

or even E7.

symbian 3 was a total waste of dev time, they should have stuck with s40 for the kiddie phones and made various flavors of harmattan on all of their E and N series devices. no reason it cant have a lightweight ui for the midrange phones

This piece was published and all over the web.

In the days before the announcement there was also a piece about Nokia's huge R&D spending that suddenly showed up also out of thin air. There are far too many coincidences in the lead up to this event. He decided to go with WP7 long before the day before the announcement as he has said.
On Friday he said Nokia engineers had already been working with Microsoft engineers a couple of months yet on sunday he said the decision to go WP was only made Thursday lol.
The decision in his mind was made long time ago, what he really should of said was he only convinced other on Thursday to get green light

Random troll thought...

Who is going to provide support for Nokia WP 7 devices? I mean Nokia's staff doesn't have a clue . Are they gonna train them or they will hire MS employees?

They'll probably do what most people do, I'm guessing they will just be forwarded to some kind of WP7 helpdesk if it's a software related problem or Nokia themselves if it's hardware related.

Well, thats the Evil side of a public owned corporation:

Finnish Newspaper Reports That American Investors Forced Nokia To Hire Stephen Elop [Nokia's New CEO Is The First Non-Finn In The Company's History - But New Report Claims That Nokia's Hand Was Forced In Hiring

The source of this article is Kauppalehti, a newspaper from Finland. Unfortunately, the investors are unnamed in the report.

Gerbick is now Gerbick of Borg. He's been assimilated.
