The 'Nokia phone' is designed and built by Nokia in Finland. The 'Wonkia phone'
is 'designed' by Microsoft and manufactured under licence in China.
Alternative scenario: Investors kick Elop and fifth columnists out and invest
enough to float off Wonkia phone towards an iceberg. Then they rehire the
open-softies and go Android. Suddenly, they have an attractive, quality,
home-built Android phone to compete with Samsung.

So they travel to Norway to get rid of Elop?
Finland is the country of a thousand lakes, but no fjords. They can feed him to
the wild mosquitoes by locking him outside Nokia headquarters in the evening,
does not feel the same as dumping him in the fjord.
The way I see it, they should make te N9 and N950 available everywhere, commit
to supporting Meego (possibly together with some others) as a Debian based
platform and integrating Android support.
They can make very good phones and should focus on quality.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

At least, it works great, at night, as a flashlight!
Admittedly, the light is blue, and activates at
uncertain times ... but, hey!

Then, MS has to buy out a cell phone company? Or their
friends do it for them?
MS is thinking of a plan right now as we debate this, then
can not win without somehow getting the telecos into line
with them, if not thru voluntary methods, then by force.
A back-door take over, just need to muster key MS
shareholders to join as a separate entity, to either put
pressure on teleco management, or to buy out the teleco, all
of course done in a way where MS is out of the picture
avoiding any perceived anti-trust activity (themselves).

In at least one previous case Microsoft's "partner" discovered that in the
contract were terms for Microsoft to get their IP out of their bankruptcy without having to buy them out.
Eerily, 'softies on the
board were part of that deal. In the Sendo case, Marc Brown returned to his Microsoft position
after the company went under. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
