The Microsoft move was smart to me but they are taking forever to ship stuff out and why aren't they supporting updates? I for one would love to own a Nokia once again, their ergonomics and common sense design won me over a long long time ago and if they can fuse it to outlook and the PC in a seamless way then the blackberry will fall and fall hard in the enterprise.

They are behaving funny though kinda like Kencell/Celtel/Zain/Airtel have been perfecting over the years with shooting themselves in the foot,mouth and any nearby appendages. Heck they could even launch slightly different flavours of the windows phone 7 software with the corporate targeted one being heavy on security,privacy encription etc and the regular version having enhancements for photo/music/social media etc.

What is doing them in for the most part is the time wasted in my opinion. ship the dan things and if they have bugs follow up with updates like everyone else. And drop the Symbian thing already.

Interesting how positive this thread has been. Had to go back and read the announcement again. What is black is the Telecom equipment business, the handset business is still in red even after one time deduction discussed here. As for if windows phone 8 will save them, time will tell as Okech said. They have screwed their relationship with carriers apparently and that can be terminal Muriithi

If nokia had two in-house OS releases (fremantle and harmattan) that are arguably better than the competition.

Choosing a more costly, external redundant option is the root of all their current problems.

That and also accepting the cancer seed from redmond that became their supreem leader.
