Re: Elop on Helsingin Sanomat: N9 the last Meego phone even if it is succesfull.
 

I'm fairly certain that overall Elop is executing board's earlier made decisions. But at the same time I assume that former CEO and now the chairman of the board Jorma Ollila wouldn't be this quick to say no to Meego. It's not Elop alone who can kill linux inside Nokia, but of course he's got a lot of power to drive it down.

The history will tell us what Elop was really like as a CEO. Whether he really disses anything else than Microsoft's products remains to be seen.

Personally I'm afraid that he came to Nokia to be prepped to succeed Ballmer as a CEO of Microsoft, and he lets nothing get in the way of Nokia becoming a Windows Phone-only house.

As a Finn and as a European I'm really sad that after Nokia moves to Windows Phone there are only three major players in the mobile OS industry: iOS, Android and WinPhone, and they are all American, and the companies behind them are not exactly the most consumer friendly ones.

Read it again then. It's on economy section.


EDIT: Otsikko on "Elop sulkee pois Meegon paluun". Elopin mukaan...jne. Aika selkeä juttu. Hesarin verkkoversiossa on lyhyeksi pätkitty versio. Puhun nyt siis printtiversiosta.

Yes, maybe the path had been set before. But I don't believe the decision had been final. As far as I can tell from news reports and blogs, even Elop had discussions with Android (although they were short :)). Elop also had back and forths with MeeGo devs about the feasability of future MeeGo device announcements, something I don't think he would have done had all the decisions been taken by the board.

That depends if the remaining board members are still active players (persuaded by Nokia-M$ deal). In that case that leaves a small amount of hope if the sales are proven to be good for N9.

If they are inactive (subdued by Nokia-M$ deal), there is nothing anybody else can do it.
