Elop has done this and has dismantled the Linux/MeeGo team that could have the expertise to prepare a plan B based on Android.
Non one other man would have been able to destroy Nokia in so short time as Elop has done, he has been smarter and faster than Gorbaciov in this area!

Where do you think the outdated/obsolete smartphones went? To the junkyard? Nope.. to the second-hand/refurb market, which could be had at almost that price range too.

Hell, if I was them I’d have considered WebOS as well. WebOS’ main issue wasn’t the OS itself, but Palm’s terrible hardware (both in design and in specs). I was totally underwhelmed when the Pre 2 came out looking like a slightly updated Pre Plus…

No need to take Android. The one big mistake that Nokia make was to abandon Symbian. Top developers leave Nokia because of this. If the company fully focused on this OS it would be the no. 1 OS.

While WP7+ in and of itself is an ok OS the problem and stigma attached to it is in the decrepit and uninspiring manufacturer.

Too many companies today are dying because those that CAN create are being managed by those that can’t.

Nokia & RIM had same problems in past. They concentrate on all type of consumers with different handset and designs.
