Lumiaman, not sure why you feel the need to resort to insults.

It is idiotic to think that a company (Nokia Mobile) with 250 - 300 million customers worldwide is worth $0 period regardless of the OS (around 2010)

It is not stupid to think that converting those customers gracefully over to an alternative OS would have been worth far far more than the measily losers prize of $7b after Elop tanked the Company completely deliberately it would appear.

There would have been no need to sell the company to anyone if Elop hadn't been involved and would have provided the shareholders a far greater return

Only you are making selling the Company the primary goal to try to justify where they are today.

When Elop took over Nokia he destroyed Symbian in one move and threw away around 300 million customers, that has to be the most idiotic stance ever undertaken in the history of all companies.
