Hey, we are positive Nokia is going off a cliff! Isn't that positive enough?

Good one.

Anyone else find anything about the laid off Nokia employees speaking candidly on what the hell is wrong with the company?

Well, he tweeted today:

Quote:

Thanks for the birthday present Mr. Elop. Second Linux platform I work in Nokia, and gets killed. I wonder when will he admit WP failed.
So you can guess what he thinks...

Hmm. Sad.

PS Is there any other brand worth buying from? Samsung seems to be the only other one. I hope they/Google does more on the NFC front. That is really awesome technology

I just don't get how can you make so many inconsistent decisions, one after the other, without getting canned. This is not just about Elop, but for the entire Nokia management. IF there is a binding agreement with M$, why not say: "Hey, we put everything into WP and in return we are helped to our feet by Balmer for X Billion $ a year" or whatever. Now, not only that Nokia killed any competing OS to WP, but no one really knows exactly why. It's that uncertainty that kills shares and stocks.

If really Nokia is welded to Microsoft and they are being supported financially than fine. But if that is NOT the reason why all those projects are being canceled than Nokia will not last.

I hope this is the ABSOLUTE last resort and that their asking prices are ridiculously high.
