    As allways,,companys make bad decisions and its the worker at the bottom who gets the chop..nokia has fallen cause it couldnt make touch screen fones ,,still make good non touch fones,,but nobody wants them anymore,,i dont think windows will be enough to save nokia,,n9 looks good,but they would need to sell about 2 billion units

          Nokia will make a grand comeback with their Sea Ray WP Mango device. It will turn the tide in Nokia's favor and people will see Nokia do a spectacular turn around into profitability similar to what Apple did last decade. WP will be gaining marketshare at the expense of Android and will be the number 1 mobile OS in the near future.

          This is just a temporary setback and Nokia is just enjoying a sweet vacation. They will be back soon and blow away the likes of Samsung and Apple.

            I guess the Romanians are less cheap and less tolerant to workplace abuse than Chinese and Vietnamese. Yep, that's probably why we weren't good enough for Nokia :\

            But anyway, it doesn't matter. Nokia made little difference in making it suck less here. In fact, they couldn't have, really, because this country is screwed up way beyond fixable.

            In fact, we should probably all just emigrate, 'cause if we're all here gathered in one place, general stupidity reaches critical mass and weird "phenomenons" (read: mass corruption and imbecility) start taking place.

            Anyway, we hoped you enjoyed your stay here, Nokia.

            PS: please tell your Chinese buddies over there to up your displays' resolution a few notches. Brightness, contrast ratio and good color reproduction don't really mean much when you can count the damn spaces between the pixels from a mile away. Thank you.

                  I can't believe people here are happy about this news; over 2000 people, already living in poor country, is going to loose their jobs. Where is your compassion? All you care about is bad news for a brand you don't like, you people disgust me.

                    The assumed dead usually life longer...

                    Who will beat European Design, Innovation & Technology at Asian cost level in two years from now? Samung and LG are still copy cats companies in their heart & sould and HTC lacks the brand. Apple is great, but still a niche player when it comes to volumes.... Beware, Elop will turn it around?

                              It's sad, people making fun of this news while the people who will loose there job doesn't feel happy at all. Is Nokia really that bad to make fun with?

                                    i'm using nokia n8 with symbian anna firmware, maybe symbian belle soon, this is a great phone, and easy to use, i think 90-99% person's make nokia phones before show up android or win. Phone or else, soo get power and spirit NOKIA. Makes Phone like phone not anything.
