Definitely not the people that owned $NOK stock. Those people lost their asses on that investment.

Feature phones COULD have been good revenue if they were designed and marketed right but, more importantly, Microsoft couldn't convince people that their disease-ridden, half-assed operating system was something people would want or trust on their phones--especially after screwing past customers repeatedly with every new iteration. Good riddance.

INDEED! IT IS I!

If you can't evolve with beneficial traits to survive the environment, don't be surprised when you die off.

It's the only way Nokia knows how to make money, after Microsoft came in and sucked them dry like a thirsty, horny vampire.

Stock-wise... well, it's up 35% recently but... honestly, it's like saying that you've doubled your profits on an investment of a penny. Big deal. Their income is still sinking pretty badly. What did you expect when your clinically stupid executives decided to gut all your products and leave you with the crap you weren't even known for or best at.

I'm not qualified to give investment advice but ... :P It doesn't look great to me.

Well, as it really happened was that MS got the smelly end of the stick after all; things on the mobile devices division were speeding down the sink when Nokia was able to distangle from it, leaving MS to crash with it. As a consequence Nokia got some money out of a worthless business.

MS was not the cause of the original blunder, that was totally a homemade mess :p

That's all past tense though. Now, $NOK could be seen as a moderate success if you got out before it dropped below $7 USD to like $4 USD and now it's back up to $6 USD.

But if you rode it all the way down, then that's just not smart. The rest is just fan talk. Loved their products, hated their internal politics, who cares in the end if you're an investor. As long as they make you money is the name of the game.

$MSFT stock is doing darn well. So to have the sticky end of the stick, that end must be coated in money as well it seems.

Note: I own both $NOK and $MSFT and have benefitted from both.

Medium just published an article with the full translation of the finnish "Operation Elop" book.
If someone is interested in some necromancing :)

This book will be very interesting.
