wow...nice logic. By all accounts, people were moving away from Symbian Before Elop's arrival; however, it was Mr. Elop's handy work to kill it off - full stop. The mobile division WAS still making money - it was only making less before Elop's takeover. Did Elop make a smart move? Yeah right.... Nokia ended up with NOTHING in the highend(super duper smartphone, costing tonnes of money), NOTHING in mid-range(able to do some nice stuff; but I don't have a 'money-tree') , and NOTHING in the low/bottom of the line(I just want a f##king phone, period, i want it cheap) stuff. Did you check the Nokia's balance sheets for those years? By the way, NOIKA mobile division was a FEW times larger(in terms of valuation) than the raising APPLE(and its new and shinny iStuff) at the time -- BEFORE Mr. Elop's "oversights". So, Mr. Elop took a healthy division and turned it to a dump(and taking the entire company with it).
