My guess is Microsoft cant buy Nokia yet cause of more patents need to be sold to "third party"

I don't know if asking to be allowed to start development at the halfway point of the five year contract is too much to ask, yet they should at least be allowed to start when there are 12-18 months left.
Wont happen.. this will end with MS gobbling up Nokia

1. Fire more people
2. Make sure S40 fails
3. Sell out more patents to lower price for company even more.

While I was in the market for a Nokia Pureview 808 to compliment the N900 I find it sad to discover Nokia succeeded in making the purchase of the probably last Symbian flagship an act of low ethics and moral values.

That doesn't make any sense if you are speaking for the broad number of shareholders. If you are speaking of a small group, that is able to steer a publically traded company like Nokia (a very small minority owner can run a big company like Nokia, if all the other owners are dispersed widely), that is still iffy.

Why would you want a CEO to come and scale down your company by saying your existing products suck, so you're going to stop selling them. Only to replace them by introducting new products that will not sell in the first place, and in the second place will not be available on the market for nearly another year.

I think more of what's happening there is that they hired the goon as a CEO, and are ever since driving themselves harder and harder into a spiral of "our WP strategy is not working because we haven't been committed enough" mentality, which will only end with a total unintended (but foreseeable) collapse of Nokia.

RIP. My N900 was the last of many Nokia devices I bought. It's Android, or Tizen, now baby.

So the Nokia 808 PureView is the last device from Nokia with QT?

This sums up the Elop years very well

And even more close to that BS above:

Yeah, heard that song played far too many times to believe any of it... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me eight or more times...
