Clearly you are not quite alone.
Stephen Elop is a genius

This one I really enjoyed reading
Nokia does the Windows Phone death dance
"But looking at how much worse off Nokia is today than 14 months ago, when Elop cut the Microsoft deal, the big Windows Phone turnaround is more Harry Potter magic than Albert Einstein Relativity."

But looking at the trend before Elop got inside, same scenario was very much likely. State of Symbian (n95 et al) discouraged many all-time-nokians from keeping to the same phone. Really, it is not Elop with his announcement (of which only hard-core fans as in this forum heard) that killed Symbian, Symbian killed Symbian with crappy release. Why it got out of UAT/QA stage and onto production??? Those people should have been fired. If iPhone5 will be slow as hell and hanging after 5hrs of usage even iPhone fanbois will get tired of Jobs' cheering. Nokia just lost its credibility as THE phone maker after releasing crap for quite a while

As far as I can tell, you're partially right. It WAS already a sad state of affairs but once Elop took the reigns and started opening his face-hole and saying many stupid things in public and tying the company's karma to an already-established loser really accelerated the downward dive for Nokia. Symbian didn't drive the company into the ground the way Windows Mobile is performing right now.

Hardcore WM fans will tell you you need to just manage runnign apps (yes, WM had true multitasking which was the reason for most complains, little RAM it had made people without some kind of easily accessed task manager installed claim it was OS fault, you can hog N900 too if you don't close any apps, no?). Never had WM crash or BSOD on me. Just that memory management was left to user and micromanagement was painful at times. Symbian on N97 is painful even if you control what is running.
Not sure what you mean by driving company into the ground, in the other thread you replied to a graph that showed symbian rising in Feb-March (never mind what data it is based on). MS could have released WM-Belle that would be on par with Symbian in its current state, but their long-term strategy is different
