Announce that going forward, WP7 is a North American mostly endeavor and that movement towards Apollo is swift and all prior phones will indeed get that update.

Re-announce Symbian Belle as Belle, state that going forward Symbian will enjoy a synergy with Nokia like it's had before and more phones like the 808 are coming down the pipe. Drive costs down by their newly found ability to talk to carriers now for certain phones, re-establish a distribution channel in all countries where Nokia is sold (read: sell directly from their website, give incentives for folks to buy from them directly where they keep the money for themselves much like Apple and Dell do now).

Remove Elop from CEO to Manager of North American Sales and give him a much lesser speaking role.

Rehire (silently) the Harmattan folks, give them ownership over the project, allow them breathing room, set them up nicely and on the way out of the door, close it gently with two words "Create magic" and fund them properly for once. Set up a realistic schedule, look at running on top of Tizen and/or continuing MeeGo 1.3 or bring back Maemo as a new(er) line of phones.

Sell dual-sim phones in countries that like them, understand that the carriers will hate me there. Break into other areas, like China, that are starting to push their own stuff, start hiring local talent and push that as part of your new culture - an expanding culture.

Oh... and learn how to communicate better.
