Nokia was not doing great before Elop. Flop after flop and having the largest market share and decent earnings isnt a good enough reason to keep going. Poor management of Nokia lead to the hiring of Elop and we are where we are.

Elop gets a lot of hate - rightly so I believe but who was too focused on Symbian to give any attention to maemo/meego? Pre Elop Nokia management. Symbian was a religion inside Noka. Remember that article?
