“mixed”…either Windows phones sell because people like the OS, or they don’t.
In which case Nokia need to globally re-launch the N9 and generate some sales revenue immediately.
Other manufacturers can sell multiple operating systems, so should Nokia.
Failing this, Elop needs to go at the end of Q2 and the MS deal needs to be “renegotiated”.

Not a good idea. Nokia does very well from the cheap phone segment in places like India and the far east.

In fact was Elop said is that 1) it don’t understand all the signals that prove that the ‘Elop effect’ is now an evidence. 2) He don’t recognize the WP client acceptance fiasco even in the best place like UK, US don’t count as you get the phone for free, witch is not a sale, 3) believe that continuing to make bigger errors in a even faster rate will solve the problem.

So sale of Lumia exceeded expectations in the United States? Well, considering that Nokia was practically giving away the device, was that such an achievement?

I think this Windows phone is really going to catch on. Perhaps Nokia will need to restructure their biz model and dump the cheap phone segment. Specialize in Smart Windows phones.
