    Wow.

    I wish I could say I was surprised, but...

    Anyway, instead of laying people off, Nokia should be moving more resources to Ovi.

    This passes for jounalism?

    The store is much more responsive this afternoon as I'm sure the servers got HAMMERED this morning.

    YARR!

    Oh dear.... please forgive me now, but all of you who had to read through my rants about Ovi in the past (how sync doesn't work, how share doesn't work, how chat doesn't live up to my expectations, how the customer support is ridiculously incompetent...) probably will understand if I now say:

    LOL

    What a complete, hard-earned disaster. Come on, Ovi, roll over and die. Nokia, fire the people responsible for all this, hire some talented, musically gifted ones instead and re-build this hulk from the ground up. The trademark Ovi is damaged forever, you'll never see customers walk through this door.

    Does anyone remember the Chinook repository fiasco? What is it with Nokia and their servers? You need to be ready for "extraordinarily high spikes of traffic" guys!

    If Ovi was some little thing by some little company, I would understand. But it is not. Nokia said, "Today is one of those monolithic milestones for Nokia and the advancement of mobiles..."

    Apparently the other 379 related articles on Gooogle News seem to say the same thing. http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&ned=us&topic=t&ict=ln

    The Washington Post is highly respected newsource. Whether the story is true or not-- Nokia's stock prices could be influenced. No doubt about that. This was played in the US press as the "comeback" that was needed by Nokia.

    Nokia should replace all top management taking care of Ovi.
    Clearly the IT guys at Nokia do this type of errors over and over again.

    So, watch the stock prices, and buy low?

    That wasn't really called for.
