The "funny" part is that they think that relocating their assembly to Asia will make things right...
... as if they've lost all that market share just because the competition's assembly costs are lower

The rich shaft the poor. That's the way it's always been, and always will be. Ordinary workers are paying the price for Nokia's strategic failures, whilst the people responsible are still in their cushy jobs. Same sh1t, different day.

Not surprising especially since the 900 will be offered at $99 when it is released through at&t in a few months.

This makes the transition to Tizen phones easier for me. I was reluctant to buy an Asian plastic phone because Nokia hardware was so much better quality.
Now that this might be no longer true, I may as well go for other plastic phones. Thanks Nokia!

i totally doubt that.
and if their cost with work in roumania it is because they hired a work plassament company, and they "lease" the workers from them.
so, just another method to steal some money from someone else, or... just bad management.
in two years i'm afraid that nokia will be so small, so small. and samsung will buy them.

Noone can compete with them any more in speed and quality without skyrocketing the costs

It's not even the workers costs alone, petty much all of Nokia's sub-contractors are in Asia, like every other manufacturer from Samsung, Apple, LG, SE etc etc.
It was matter of time.
Around 90% of Nokia phones where already made in Asia, so it's not like much is going to change from past 6 years.
At least 4 out of 6 Nokia major R&D hubs are in West, something you can't say about the other companies. And this soul talk is just funny.
