The partnership makes little sense. The market is clear in its message. WinMo7 is destined for failure and Elop is bent on taking an awesome company down with it.

WinMo7 is not even close to what Maemo was more than a year ago. It has absolutely nothing to show for in terms for its capability for high-end Enterprise/smartphone use. Current WinMo7 users are not high-end smartphone users.

Is Nokia thinking that it would be able to muscle changes to WinMo7? M$ requirements for manufactures go down to chassis specification. Its a sad day. There seems to be no end to how low Nokia is going in order to "take over" the US market. Most of Finland is probably reeling in shock and disbelief.
