You're cheap.

I wouldn't open my mouth for less than 300 mill.

I mean really, just look at what Elop has cost Nokia, around 3 billion or so in the last year. (if one extrapolated the upward curve they were on before February to now and compared to current results).

I'm willing to go for only 10% of that.

After that:
- Sure we can do WP, and Android
- We'll do Maemo (or Tizen) as the high end "aspirational models"
- and Symbian will continue, and be eventually transferred to Maemo/Tizen
- We will make no more than 10 different models of phones, no more than 20 different hardware configurations, and no more than 80 possible configurations of hardware and colors. (That should cut down on Nokia's current complication in manufacturing by at least 2/3!)
- I'm going on a extended market research tour to Asia. Stops to include beaches, temples, and monasteries in China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and the Philippines! Due to the importance of this market area I can spend no less than 3 months on this trip.
