Keep blaming Elop long enough and maybe even the Finnish people that created this mess might believe it.

Who in their right mind would give their money to a company that doesn't even want their business?
While I was in the market for a Nokia Pureview 808 to compliment the N900 I find it sad to discover Nokia succeeded in making the purchase of the probably last Symbian flagship an act of low ethics and moral values.

Didn't you see how the N9's swipe-down gesture lives on in Window 8?

totally agree with you marxian...i've the same feelings...i was thinking about helping some people procure 808's from malaysia & singapore as the prices are among the lowest here but after last week's announcement i can't bring myself to spread nokia anymore...no matter how much i love the 808 its getting very hard to make a choice to buy or not...pathetic from the BOD & Elop...

What do you mean by this?

Nokia didn't know what to do or how to effectively market any of those items. It would not have started with the N9. And for the most part, they didn't stand behind the prior items or the N9, their most marketable Maemo device before Elop.

Hate to tear apart what you said - I actually agree with all that you're saying - I just have to inject some realism into what is happening into these conversations.

With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies
Blame Canada!
