From what happens to Nokia:
- Elop as CEO
- alliance with Microsoft
- ditching Symbian, Qt and OVI
- also knowing from their employees how poor the management is
it looks like Nokia is going to fall.
It’s a shame because they really used to create great handsets, I still own N95 and remember their old idiot-proof, highly robust and usable devices.
The way to save Nokia right now looks like to evaluate the situation and either upgrade Symbian/QT/Ovi into own powerful platform or go with Android OS; and also do a major re-shake of management at all levels.
Sadly enough, that’s not going to happen. I personally think the chances of Nokia becoming successful with WP7 are minimal. WP7 is not bad and there is a slight chance for success but it just doesn’t make any sense right now, not sure what those guys on Nokia board are thinking about.
