Typo. I was wondering if that is IT? The next billion touted by Nokia. I mean, it's not too impressive.

a billion new customers would not be impressive? :confused:

Fire the man immediately! A CEO's only job is to create shareholder value,empower staff and make a profit. If the N9 is so hot, Nokia should relase in all markets. If by accident Nokia has made a novel and appealing device that people actually want, it is insane not to move it to the top of the priority list. Let it become the aspirational device that people want-need.

I think it's part of it, not the whole strategy. Isn't part of it Qt going to S40 as well? the new C2 phones will have maps and turn by turn navigation - on a featurephone.

The idea is to bring the S40 one step up to overcome the competition. I would prefer making the S60 to run on the lower-end but what do I know?

Unless there is some super-smart plan unfolding now, I'd guess that the one standing on the burning platform is Elop himself.

Since he took on the job as CEO the stock has roughly shrunk to half the price, and the curve has been steady downwards since that.

On top of that, add all his not-so-consistent roadmap for the future that he's been slaloming through lately.

If the market ditches the WP phones and the media continues to scream for Meego-devices, I'd say he'd better prepare to jump. I'm not so certain that the board and/or shareholders are happy with present business.

symbian was being killed and badmouthed by it CEO.

It would be, if it ever happened. I suspect "next billion" is more wishful thinking and marketing spin than anything resembling reality.

Deep bold voice while playing this in the background would have been better, for current TMO especially N9 related topic lurkers.

Web apps on the S40 isn't exactly impressive when Samsung can deliver genuine smartphones running Bada for the same price and less.

Somebody heard anything new about richard green? The timing of his "medical leave" seems to indicate he wanted to stay until meego is finished and then wait for nokia to make up its mind.
