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.
In the developed world, consumers want iphones and droids. People have voted loudly with their money. They DO not want Taleban S40 penny phones and Symbian buggy crap. N9 will change nothing. N9 is an iClone. Maemo has been around for years and how well did it sell? N9 offers some improved functionality, but not enough to cause a revolution or change the financial equations. Just look at the worldwide build up surrounding iphone 5, http://www.google.com/trends?q=nokia...ate=ytd&sort=1

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.
