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.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

So the dude who is designing the Microsoft Phone is also secretly designing the Xbox1? No? Then it is 3 divisions. Get some logic.

Projects are not divisions my friend.

Read the financial reports, come back and say you are sorry.

Hmm, I do like my Nokia Lumia. Great phone.



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!
