I still think Nokia failed absolutely miserably in announcing this deal on Friday, causing much unnecessary commotion, but at the Sunday event they started to set things right. My faith in Nokia is much restored.

Anyone who just followed the Engadget coverage of the event should get the information from the horse’s mouth (he’s no trojan though :) from the “Nokia Conversations” channel available in YouTube.

Microsoft will pay billion of dollars to Nokia for using Windows Phone 7.
ps Stephen Elop has 500,000 stock options in Nokia, a fact that has not appeared in Nokia’s insider register on the Internet, even though they provide him a considerably strong incentive.

The proof is in the pudding. Had Nokia followed through on its grande statements of what they are going to do, were going to do, etc., they would be fine but there are too many cooks in the kitchen and though they can all read the recipe, none of them seems to know how to use the bleedin’ stove.

Devs have done EVERYTHING for Nokia. They need to get rid of these idiots with MBAs, who have no clue what they are doing, and let some of the engineers take over.

All of this garbage about “ecosystem” and other Bullsh*t Bingo has GOT to stop, Mr. Elop. Those words are only permissible if you are experiencing growth while leading markets, not when for the past year you have only been able to get one excellent phone, with an OS that the world totally despises, while clinging to the coattails of an ever-shrinking market share.

YOUR COMPANY threw the N900 out there and touted it as the most amazing innovation ever seen, and then you dropped it like a hot potato. Your most faithful customers are now running the show. How LAZY of you.

Is that how you see yourself? Budding off a brand new, totally different piece of kit every few years, but just leaving it behind to sink or swim? If that’s the case, fine, but make it clear that those are your intentions and don’t try to compete with Apple and Android manufacturers, but come back with your tail between your legs crying about new “ecosystems” and “burning platforms” when you hear people disparaging you.

The easy path iss a totally acceptable route, just be more honest about it and be willing to accept the consequences.

The only ones doing anything are your engineers–and guess what–without them, you are a bunch of people in suits sitting around a table talking about “synergy” with no lights on because you have no money. Get up off of your lazy behinds, and actually DO something for once–then stick to it!

i love nokia, hope they dont screw this!
