| Elop running out of time to turn Nokia around |
| By Thom Holwerda on 2012-09-19 13:19:36 |
| "Stephen Elop only has a few months to show he can turn Nokia around if he is to survive but the new smartphone is unlikely to woo customers back from Apple and Samsung. Investors and analysts say the chief executive has until early 2013 to prove he made the right choice by partnering with Microsoft Windows or his future at the loss-making company will be called into question." Well, I'll be doing my part. I'm buying a 920. |

And no you will not do enough. Nokia now of all things need strong crier relations. This is primary cause of all those troubles. To solve it Nokia need to change CEO and hire people who know what they are doing. And url do not work. Copied from source code, but still no luck. Maybe copied too much?

If anything I am voting with my wallet and lobbying everyone that I know that would buy a MS-Nokia phone in getting something else. Microsoft (and their puppet Elop) are the other bullies of the mobile world nowadays. Since the announcement that Nokia basically gave up the entire company (including NAVTEQ, App Store, Development tools and so on) to Microsoft in exchange for US$1B "deduction" on the price of a WP license I disliked his management. A once great company that stood up for innovation, taking ownership of its own future (look at all the initiatives that Nokia started and notice that I am not saying that they succeeded in those innovations) backtracked so badly that it needs support from a "sugar daddy" to stay afloat? IMO, Elop should be fired. New CEO should revert some of the policies: partner with Amazon to have access to a great content right out of bat, continue selling WP phones but without being the flag bearer of Microsoft. Elop made sure that there was no going back to "old" Nokia. Sold QT, dismantled App Store, offloaded the "dead beat" Symbian developers and alienated almost the entire developer base. </rant> |

| Apart from ancient Ericsson GH688, all my subsequent Mobile phones were made by Nokia only. I have four phones at the moment (has to be that way). Maybe Nokia should care about the opinion of cush customers of theirs? Well, since two of those four phones are N900 and N9, you probably guess what I think of Mr. Elop... |

| By encouraging users to Android :) Nokia had a huge opportunity with android in India. If win8 does not come under $200 i need not do my part as well. |

It looks like everyone knows that he made a wrong (for Nokia) choice, including himself. What is surprising however, that Nokia shareholders don't seem to care. Edited 2012-09-19 15:01 UTC |

> It looks like everyone knows that he made a wrong (for Nokia) choice, including himself. What is surprising however, that Nokia shareholders don't seem to care. One of the things that puzzled me about the financial crisis was that one of the bogus reasons given for it was that shareholders weren't given enough power to stop bad decisions from happening. Shareholders don't care. They're the ones driving companies to become quarterly voodoo numerologists. |

| Its time to kick the Microsoft Trojan out and hire someone that knows what they are doing. |
