    In less than a year, Elop successfully change Nokia from profit to loss. Its time for MS to buy Nokia. What a trick.

      Who cares if Nokia goes down. We still have Apple, samsung, and lg that can make great devices with brilliant innovation. Get Elop out from Nokia, i think that is the only solution.

            Hopefully, Nokia will survive the catastrophe and get back on the road with WP7. I really wish them well. But then again, it does not mean I will buy a WP7 Nokia since I hate Microsoft very much (as of now, I'll hold my N8 tight). In the past, there was a Microsoft "partner" (or shall I say victim?) called "Sendo" which Microsoft bullied and crushed badly.

            Nokia is another victim of Microsoft. They sent Elop to take over a position at Nokia that can control the company. And where is Nokia now? They are deep in the red! All thanks to Elop.
            Olli Kallasvuo was a disaster of a CEO for Nokia, alright. It took him 4 years to mismanage Nokia and transform it to a defenseless creature. But Elop did it in a phenomenal 4 months! 4 years versus 4 months, you do the math. It has always been a strategy of Microsoft. That thing called "ENTRYISM". They do it to kill open-source projects. Remember, MeeGo is based on Linux and we all know how Microsoft constantly bullies Linux. So to bully Linux even more, they had to take control of Nokia which has heavily been banking on MeeGo along with Intel.

            So now Elop is in Nokia, he can easily say, "Let's abandon MeeGo and go for Windows".
            With Elop at Nokia, Nokia will suffer even more. The Nokia-Microsoft deal alone is too abusive for the part of Nokia with Microsoft gaining HUGE advantages.

            FIRE ELOP NOW! URGENTLY!!!

                  Still dont understand why Nokia is not using Andriod. WP7 will be another disaster for them before they file their bankrupcy within 2 years time.

                  Its end of NOKIA.

                    calm before the storm?! yeah right..
                    the N9 will bring a spark of life indeed, liked the design, but symbian's still nothing compared to android or ios even winmo7.. symbian will probably be used for dumbphone or low-end phone.. the thing is, android already rule those segment..

                      Nokia's menu system is logical and user friendly and with Symbian^3 and updates, nokia will rise again. nokia just need to up their cpu and internet browser as they are doing now. Symbian^3 are great!

                            AnonD-1227, 22 Jul 2011This is the calm before the storm. The harmattan/wp7/s40-1g... moreI definitely agree with this phrase. And through an interval way it does make sense. The rumor was that a basic Symbian Belle phone having such high specs, it's only natural to have the mid-tier and high-end phones to be increasingly powerful. Calm before the storm indeed.

                              I broke a 128-bit encryption. Anyway, Nokia and it's fanboys are gonna struggle ahead. While the future was never certain, they can only hope Anna, Belle, Meego and WP7 will save it from being pushed out of the market.

                                      When Nokia was ruler it's give great phones but like langua
                                      ge if it remain alive it should allow changes and new words like English so its time that Nokia give a phone with Android and see no one can beat it.
