Where's your evidence for that? It seems much more likely Elop's Lord and Master told him he wasn't allowed to play with anything Linux.


The Ashas are more interesting than the Lumias. The Asha 303 looks like it should be a slider, if it was I'd quite like one.


Since dropping Symbian for WP7 NOKIA's gross margin for smartphones has reduced significantly.


Yeah, right...


Say what? What could be more 'blocky' and 'conservative' than WP7? Live Tiles are the blockiest, dullest Plasmoids I've ever seen!
I don't see what Symbian has to do with S40. But you are right, let's attribute everything to a sinister plot to slowly destroy Nokia. And while we're at it, the moon landing never happened and Elvis is alive.
