Elop truly is completely incompetent to run a company like Nokia.
His views are too one-sided and he still seems to take orders from Microsoft.
In this situation a good CEO would praise the device like N9 and re-think his strategy (which crashed Nokia's stock value) after all this positive feedback and response from the customers. But no, let's bash this device and declare it's death!
Nokia Board of Directors, do something before it's too late!
My biggest wish is to read headlines like "Elop sacked as Nokia CEO - now sweeps floors at the warehouse" in the near future. It could be possible if the Board is not full of fools. Well, maybe not the last part of the headline.
There's also another story circulating Finnish news sites this morning: a Nokia engineer Felipe Contreras writes in his blog post that Elop is using false arguments to justify why there are so few Meego-phones coming out. (I tried the search here but couldn't find if this had been posted already.) It seems that Elop just doesn't care about any other OS's than WP inside Nokia.
Previously it's been rumored that Microsoft is paying Nokia a considerable amount of money for the WP-deal. It's likely that Elop and the board are getting a huge bonus too. For Microsoft, MeeGo is just another competitor staying in their way and they'll do whatever it takes to get rid of them. Bribe the right people, and that's it - MeeGo turns into NoGo.
This is off-topic, but that's just insane. Comparing quality newpaper to to a trash tabloid. Helsingin Sanomat is a daily newspaper of the highest quality.
That's not true. It's a local paper for people inside Kehä III (in Helsinki). People outside don't like it and it's left wing/green opinions.
I doubt this. Elop would not officially say such a thing even if he meant it. On the other hand, WP is such a huge move and investment by Nokia, so he probably has to remove any doubt internally that WP is set in stone, even though he does it extremely unproffessionaly.
Symbian is also "dead", but 10 new devices are coming in the next 12 months.
Until I hear something officially from Nokia, this is all bull.
