kowenicki, if I am wrong about Mr. Elop then I apologize. I don't keep up with business news at all. All my info. comes from a wiki :

During the 3 years Elop was Nokia CEO, Nokia revenues fell 40%, Nokia profits fell 95%, Nokia market share collapsed in smartphones from 34% to 3.4%, Nokia's credit rating went from A to junk, Nokia's share price dropped 60% in value and Nokia's market capitalization lost 13 Billion dollars in value.

When Elop joined Nokia, they already missed the smartphone-hype.
Their symbian was dead and on its way out. There was nothing he could have done.

After he joined, he made Nokia re-focus, created the Lumia and finally found their place in the smartphone market.

Under his leadership Nokia changed from a former tech-giant close to bankruptcy to a smaller but healthy company. He saved their asses.


Yeah. He saved nakia. He is not bad as others think.
