Look at the (entirely predictable) consequences. NOKIA have shrivelled to insignificance as a result of Elop opening his star port and allowing Ballmer to dock. It made no sense; the market knew it, the carriers knew it, the retailers knew it, hell even Elop knew it but he had an ulterior motive.

If NOKIA had lost the software 'war' what the hell was the outcome for Microsoft and their laughable little pop-gun? At least Google had got a really big bazooka.

Meanwhile they were totally dominating the rest of the planet - you know, where the overwhelming majority of smartphone buyers live. In Elop's desperate attempt to make NOKIA relevant to America he has surrendered the rest of the planet to Samsung.

To add insult to life-threatening injury Elop didn't even succeed in seducing America, Windows Phone is still an irrelevance even there too.
