I am so pissed of with Stephen Elop. Nokia was doing great until OPK left. All the problems started since Elop came. Ansi, & Jaaksi left and now Elop has totally destroyed the finnish company. Is there anything we as consumers can do to let the stock holders know our disapproval of Elop's plans? Surely this is not the way to go forward. What will happen to the Finnish economy? What about all the employees at nokia who have been working on symbian and meego?
Is there anything we can do to get our old nokia back??? Like an open letter to the stock holders to fire Elop and stop this madness??
You can buy Nokias Symbian phones as long as they're available. (I enjoy my C7.) They said they plan to sell quite a few of them during the next years, so... Show them that Symbian is a powerful platform you want, while W7 is not.
If they release a MeeGo powered device, buy it. Show them that MeeGo is the powerful new platform you want, while W7 is not.
Avoid buying any W7 product, Nokia or other.
This is the only language anyone up there will understand. Imagine the situation Flop will find himself in if in February 2012 he has to present figures that show how W7 failed and how an improved Symbian and an exciting new MeeGo keep selling better and better. He will have to answer questions like "Who had this W7 idea in the first place? Why do you still keep this OS alive?"
Well... thats what you could do. And that's what would work 100% if you find enough people to join you. If you don't, you still have a phone. Well...

Support Qt, support MeeGo and when that device comes out, hope that it sells like crazy.

Obviously I will never buy a wp7 device. But the way nokia is putting everytxhing behind wp7, it will go bankrupt and elop will just go back to Microsoft with a sweet bonus. Looks like we the nokia fans who believed in a cross platform open os are going to be screwed.

Nokia stock is down 14%.
I think the stockholders already know.

Is it possible to fire this guy? Does the board had prerogatives for that? Since this morning I can't breathe, so shocked!

But seriously, Is it possible that Elop could be somehow fired by the Nokia board

Sends a message that there's a huge disconnect between the folks that produce the stuff and the management that decides stuff.
Pretty big though indeed.
