Which brings us to Nokia! sadly, this is one company where the management is hell bent on taking the worst possible decision every single time. It is like they want to deliberately lose every single battle!

I can understand the appeal of this partership for MSFT, but what does NOK get in return? There is not even any exclusivity as far as I can see, for takling all this risk! So if they take all this risk on WP7 (instead of Android) and if they (by some stroke of luck) make WP7 successful, then HTC, MOT, samsung etc. will just move in and eat their lunch 🙂 What a loser management! (Thank god, I don’t own any NOK!!! )

No wonder their employees are pissed and stock is down 15% today!

Well, I have to say, nokia and msft are quickly on the road to becoming irrelevant in the mobile space…

I would think nokia should just switch to android and bite the bullet. As I predicted months ago, WM7 is the ultimate P.O.S…..And I’d like to see Nokia’s tablet story, if they aren’t going to get on the Android bandwagon….Honeycomb anyone?

Well, it could be worse…They could be like HP trying to push the WebOS based tablets and phones…LOL good luck with that one….

Then again, I’m not complaining….Loving the profit I took on Nvidia and Arm so far…. 🙂

Anyway, anyone want to take a swipe on how much longer RIMM has? I’d say 2-3 years, or until Android starts getting serious about business class users…

Earlier today, Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat reported that over 1,000 Nokia employees walked out of company headquarters supposedly in protest of the new partnership with Microsoft. Nokia announced that it will adopt Windows Phone 7 as its primary mobile OS, forgoing years of development with Symbian. As a result, Symbian employees — worried about their job security — staged the walk out.

(Note the symbolic placement of “MeeGo.”)

Lol the new Nokia CEO is an ex-microsoft-er… No wonder….

And the microsoft fraternity of idiots continue….

Nokia is in big trouble, and it knows it. New CEO Stephen Elop has already promised to unveil his new vision on how to save Nokia at a meeting on Friday, but setting the stage for his plan, Elop sent out an internal memo to staff diagnosing Nokia’s problems and telegraphing his intentions: Nokia is going to radically reinvent itself, and heads are going to roll.

In Elop’s 1300-word memo, which has just leaked, the ex-Microsoft exec likens the company to an oil platform burning at sea while the hands try to put out the fire by dousing it in gasoline instead of water.

“We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company through these disruptive times. We had a series of misses,” Elop wrote. “We haven’t been delivering innovation fast enough. We’re not collaborating internally. Nokia, our platform is burning.”

Elop then goes on to lament Nokia’s impotence when it comes to countering Apple and Google.

“The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don’t have a product that is close to their experience. Android came on the scene just over 2 years ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone volumes. Unbelievable,” he said.

But what of MeeGo, Nokia’s next-gen touchscreen OS? Says Elop:

“We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the end of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.”

That comment is fascinating, since many expected the first MeeGo phone to debut this weekend at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. However, sources speaking to Reuters now indicate that Elop has killed off the development of the first MeeGo handset, putting that platform’s debut even further out.

It’s an exciting time in mobile. Nokia’s spent the last four years as the slumbering giant, but in Elop’s hands, it seems as if the colossus is about to waken, dust itself off and go to war. Will the Finnish giant be able to make a dent in the Jupiter and Saturn of iOS and Android? Time will tell, but Elop, at the very least, seems bold enough for the try.
