*cough* Oh crap.
as I said second ago, value of OPK's work will be harvested in next 1-2 years. after that we know if he was good at his work or not.

If the board and OPK believe in their current strategy, I doubt they'd choose a successor that would be so opposed to it. I see them wanting to change the execution.

OPK was ultimately driven out by the press. It's kind of sad that he leaves the day after "Dow Jones Indexes names Nokia as world's most sustainable technology company for second year in a row".

Loistava!!

Although I love the fact that the dude got a 4.6 million euro severance package. You gotta love the CEO life.

My n900 has taken to freezing on a daily basis (requiring me to pull out the battery). The phone usually rotates to portrait except when it doesn't.

In other words...this news effects me how...???

I can see the news:
*Nokia N8 sells millions
*Qt becomes most used mobile programming language
*Symbian^4 faster, slicker and better
*MeeGo becomes default OS from your mobile to your toilet
*Thanks to a North American Nokia was saved from the incompetent European hands.

Everything is more or less on track for at least some of those to happen. As ossipena said, OPKs work will be harvested in the long run (if the new CEO does not come with an ax) and our brothers from the other side of the ocean can finally rest knowing that another company was "saved" thanks to them.
