I think owning your data is a very old concept. It's just one that has become unfashoinable due to the rise of this cloud computing bollox and the proliferation of social networking services.

In Europe Nokia will sell MS. Everyone knows Nokia but if sales assistants in stores, carriers on their sites and tech sites dont get nokia to sound exciting again this wont work. Nokia has closed its own stores and has left the game to the free market completely.
I say best to them because as much as i dislike nokia's recent decisions i do not want them broken and bought by carnivorous companies who will suck their patents dry and throw out Nokia to the dogs. As much as people want this to happen, the result will not be pretty.

Interesting read. Thanks for the links. Given that MS is already working with a lot of other manufacturers (HTC, LG) in the US - will be fascinating to see how Nokia can enter this market and then overtake them.
The more I read up on this the more I feel the words Nokia/MS are interchangeable. Just makes sense given Nokia's new strategy.
Anyone know what their UK strategy is?

So many drama queens over here. Emotions and business decisions are completely different things.

What else can they do? Even BlackBerry phones are cooler than Nokias now.

None of the headlines read 'London looters organised through Nokia messaging'... because nobody uses Nokia services other than Maps.
