Mailman, 02 Jul 2017Elop wasn't dump but very smart. He did what "big" guys wer... moreThat's like saying Jobs and his team at Apple was dumb to welcome the Coca-Cola guy into the comp. There's a chance of trust being broken in such cases I guess. Where its Elops issue, he kept going back and forth from Microsoft to Nokia I believe.. That might have created some mess-ups in management right? He got a lot of money and left the company in a bad position. But he an Steve Ballmer did make a good Phone line, tho some didn't know how to take it from there back then and even now although Windows Phone is doing way better. Also, the Windows phone was the 1st to have a very similar UI/look to Windows 8.0/.1 ,maybe they used the phone as an experiment at start and now we are using it on Win 10

              Well, it seems a good news for Nokia itself and for their customers, and maybe in general too.

                AnonD-240552, 01 Jul 2017I hope nokia will also build a premium smartwatch to match ... morealready started saving money for that

                  Samsung is now becoming the bad guy in this market....hope that new players will come with consumer side products in this area....

                    hope it will come as a good point for Nokia cause it needs a new refresh marketing strategy start in US and World and hope at the same time not to be as dumb as Elop

                          That would be better if Samsung and Nokia help each other together. But by making a premium smart watch Nokia needs to learn the tricks from Samsung and for high end flagship, the processor has to be better than the U11. As spec don't matter for now, in a few months later it will be very Important. I hope Nokia will do it's best. As for now, they are trying to open their sales around the world wide...but that's just the begining!!!! Hopefully all will be release around the world by July. All the best Nokia and hope your progress will gradually increase.

                            I hope nokia will also build a premium smartwatch to match the upcoming premium phones. I prefer squarish rather than circular because there are few good squarish android smartwatch already in the market.
