                    I hate that man. I really think this guy plus Microsoft went finally destroying Nokia. Biggest traytor is Risto Siilasmaki and Nokia board. Nokia never listened to their customers and all I heard from Nokia spokepersons how much they have patents.

                    I never buy Microsoft product again. Microsoft wont miss me and neither do I.

                          oh yeah, MS is evil for charging the world for everything they make and for buying other companies.

                          but Google is the best for giving us their services for free. Never mind the selling of your personal data/location to companies that will bomb you and shape your thoughts with their marketing campaigns. And then using part of that money to force these companies to use only google services.

                          ex. you can't sign up to GSMArena without a google account (yes you can with FB)

                            there is a many ways to kill a cat Microsoft sent him in with the sole goal of destroying the company and making it a cheap buy for Microsoft and then reward him for doing it and probably will make him in charge in place of Steve Balmer.

                                  People are just sympathizing with Nokia. "We" are just stating that this was all planned by Elop. Nokia has been a great company till that mother-father SoB Elop came along. So whatever opinions they have, respect it. Get a life.

                                      No wonder Nokia had to undergo some heavy personnel changes (read: massive layoffs) - they had to gather some top dollar to pay this one fat SoB. Here's some advice for all you future managers - let the company down the drain, you'll receive a giant bonus. This guy knows sh*t about the mobile industry yet still he was in charge of a mobile giant. This puts some faith even in the most useless of humanity.

                                        What did this guy do to deserve that money? I don't know, but hate and disgust is gradually replacing the big sympathy i felt for Nokia once. Other people, other hands, new evil spirit of management, same name,
                                        No, you can't fool us, i will not buy a Nokia anymore, i've been Nokia's biggest fan when everyone hated Nokia, but i can't swallow this, Elop like guys get paid millions while thousands of former employees which are the real backbone of Nokia lost their jobs.
                                        I wish you lots of Karma.
