Anyway Nokia has been FULL OF FAIL for a while now. It may continue to be, but at least there is some direction. A year ago we didn't know what the fuk was up with them. I hate OPK WAY more than Elop.

seriously.Under OPK we would've had no accouncements of any phone till mid 2012, then get a phone released probably early 2013 which probably would've been crappy, like the n96, and the n97. This is how he rolled.
LMAO @marxian...that is someTitanic ish that could very well be true. We'll wait and see. They STILL have an opportunity to change their strategy if/when this current one fails. I can see THIS Nokia and co adjusting. OPK and Co. however would stick with failing strategies for YEARS. Honestly though Nokia has nothing to lose here. WP7 fails you reshuffle funds back to R&D and finish Meego, shouldn't take long at all after seeing meego/harmattan.

How about this: I'd bet you that WP7 sales will pick up SOOOOOO drastically with the second wave of devices... that it will continue to be as irrelevant a platform as it is right now. An also-running third, possibly fourth party to the handset wars the way it is now.
...also: Oh, poor Zune... used as an example of another also-ran!
