LOL I loved it when Elop talked about being the 3rd ecosystem, while the camera panned across the audience - all I saw was Blackberry to the left, Blackberry to the right...

Didn't see many people taking notes on Nokias!
You know that could have been a good plan from Elop... What I mean is the security aspect of smart phones. More and more people* are waking up to the fact that these things are big holes in their security policy and banning them at work. A few sensible people realise that they carry their lives on these things and ID theft is horrible.
Elop could have made a smartphone that was a consumer phone, but as secure as a BB*... Shame I don't think WP7 isn't fips certified!
*people - as in security officers and managers
*BB - Yah I know it can be brought off the shelf but it does have that rep of being a work phone:
This guy think he still works for microsoft! Wake up guy! You're Nokia's CEO! Your competitors are not android and google but Samsung LG HTC Mototola because like them you make hadware! That"s why Elop is a trojan horse!
i love my n900 but fear that when i up grade i will have to go andriod. Because nokia wont get there act together with mego , and i fear more that the microsoft stooge CEO will sell qt and other Open source endevours down the drain while inchage at nokia.
For some reason, even the thread title "Interview w/ Elop" is enough to provoke me these days.
I don't see how this person can talk about creating a third, big ecosystem with Microsoft, when he just landed a killing stab in the back of the ecosystem chosen by the most buyers in the world. How is the WP7 ecosystem bigger than the Symbian one? Is he really thinking that because Ovi Store sucks, Nokia has no ecosystem? If so, that means he's not talking about ecosystems at all, but app sales percentages.
Yeah, Google and Apple have better ecosystems, but it's like Symbian never existed.
@Volt: do you have symbian 'ecosystem' numbers?
I know they sold the most candybar\featurephones, but in terms of apps and contents channeled through Nokia-controlled ecosystems, I'd be surprised if the numbers are any good.

isnt the ovi store the 2nd largest after the apple app store?
