What do you mean Elop gave us the N9?, for your information the N9 was in the development stages well before Elop even had anything to do with Nokia.
Your so obsessed with the iphone that you just do not like Nokia one least bit YET you come on a Nokia based forum and tell everyone how bad Nokia is and how good Elop is.... mate you need your head examined if you even think you will gain any popularity from this Nokia based forum !.
I am actually shocked you drag down people who have actually thanked some of your posts.
N9 is an iClone. I will buy it because I think it will be good, it has features that iphone should have. But I will be on record: the battery life will be worse than iphone, the VKB will be worse than iphone and it will be buggy, and no apps. If Elop really wanted to kill N9, he could have easily killed it.

Just look at the worldwide build up surrounding iphone 5, http://www.google.com/trends?q=nokia...ate=ytd&sort=1
Wow, if we don't agree with Elop's idiotic plan, we must be negativists in our regular lives. Dude you have seriously mastered the human psychology.
Elop's plan is nowhere to be seen. He cancelled N950 and if the rumor is true, limited N9 to 100000 devices on tiny markets. It's a wonderful plan to kill devices that raised share prices on announcement, received positive feedback from people and continue stubbornly with his tunnel vision in producing a single WP7 device in Q1 2012. If you were smart, you would just buy an HD2 and install WP7.
CONCLUSION: We are negative because his plan, in short, is CRAP for the consumers, but perfect for bankrupting a company.
as compared to N9. Its amazing how different the two curves are.
The strategy that Elop chose makes more sense than any other strategy. I hope they continue to innovate and continue to produce good hardware. But even that is a problem these days for Nokia: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/...s/td-p/1122467
If I were MS, I would seriously wonder if NOKIA can deliver as a partner. There is something rotten in NOKIA, and Elop may not have been able to remove all the rot yet.

Symbian is a non-factor in the North American market. Symbian isn't a factor in Japan either.

3) Maemo received almost no marketing because of reasons already talked over and over. Now go figure out the most important dependency between 2) and 3).
4) Droids and iPhones provide lesser functionality and easier handling / more visible polishing ("shiny GUI FX and high FPS"), that's the second most important portion of their success story, among way more marketing / a larger salesforce. Most people are technically inept (see trisha02 for an example).

We now return you to your regular thread.
