This whole thing just seems so far fetched. Even after Elopocalypse. Although I'm entertained imagining danramos rubbing his hands in glee and giggling like a movie bad guy as he reads some of these "panic posts". Love ya Dan :)

I doubt that UK communication director would know anything about the matter anyway. Something like this would be negotiated at the very top of both organizations, and only people on need to know basis and russian bloggers would know about it.

People in the need-to-know circle usually know and plan activities great deal ahead. The commoners, like us, and eldar can only hope to watch for the public activities (the ones the need-to-know can not hide anyway), and extrapolate more or less accurately.

No matter how extrapolation are accurate, they are vigorously denied until rumours become facts.

In this case, we have not seen everything that is cooked in the need-to-know circle.

Besides, I recall that Eldar has managed on several occasions to publish facts about devices available to Nokia employees. So there is almost certainly someone who is leaking (dis)information to Eldar. In this case someone may have shared his/hers concerns about mikrokia partnership.

BTW: How many Nokians are still posting here?

Buying skype didn't make sense but it still happend. It doesn't have to make sense, it's shopping which is always good. The american passtime. Maybe steve's wife asked for a nokia, so he got her one.

Advanced users and developers tend to think that they are the center of the world market but it's not so. It doesn't matter if you have right and it doesn't matter if your idea or your way of thinking is the best, the most practical etc. All it matters for companies is the average user and the average user doesn't give a damn about his/her phone OS. Does it have colors, moving objects and useless hi-tech features? If yes, then it's perfect.

Only companies that target the advanced users and developers can give us what we want. Maemo, meego, Qt etc was too good to be true; considering this market. Cross-platform and open source is bad business.

And the very reason Nokia have teamed with Microsoft because we on here are the elite but not the "average" user by any means.

I agree totally with this post in every way it speaks common sense, well said !!!.

Microsoft is known to produce good mouses, if they bring surface to smartphones this would be the iphone-killer anyway!

Re: Eldarmurtazin: "MS want to buy Nokia Mobile division"
 

Actually it makes sense.

When you are big like Oracle or M$, you need to buy a company or two once in a while in order to demonstrate that you are still fat-mighty-ugly-company no one wants to take on. It is sort of a marketing activity.

Re: Eldarmurtazin: "MS want to buy Nokia Mobile division"
 

It makes sense at that price tag?

How are you gonna make what you paid back ?

Thats the issue here and why ppl say it does not make sense - go read some details about the deal to get an understanding of why people say it does not make sense.
