It was announced like a happy event the death of Nokia mobile unit, after years of mismanagement by Elop, where all profitable units were closed down and good factories sold, he managed to conjure the false feeling of profit to the stockholders by selling Nokias core business, the mobile unit to microsoft for peanuts, just 5 milliard Euro. Of course no customers wants a WP phone, so with todays bad business it’s not worth much of money, but if they had been staying with the much profitable MeeGo and released more of the extremely popular N9/N950 phones, Nokia wouldn’t have lost it’s crown to Samsung. Don’t forget that the N9 was only sold in small markets and the Lumia line was released world wide, and anyhow the N9 out sold the Lumia 3 to 1.
Tomi Ahonen has written a analysis on Nokias horrible microsoft experience, the conclusion should be, never hire a “former” microsoft employee.
Some reaction from Finland, I guess there are quite many volunteering to put a knife in the back of traitor Elop.
