Nokia needs cell phone carriers, period. Can't do it with
MS OS and Skype (they hate both).
The only way they can "break thru" is to use patents to
force themselves onto others.
Nokia, should have done an MS phone, an Android phone, and
other OS phones (offered options to carriers to chose what
they wanted). Now, they have boxed themselves into a corner
so badly by going with only Microsoft/Skype, that they might
never get out.

"It's hard to break through. It's been harder than we expected,"

...they will be rescued by Microsoft, who will buy them
out. Then the proud
people of Finland, who have been
pinching
their noses and buying Nokia's
WinPhones to support their
national symbol, will be suddenly left holding the
bag. How
will they react when the full significance sets in? Their
national
treasure, first destroyed by Microsoft's
confederate, Elop, then delivered into
Microsoft's hands.
They will feel humiliated. Their WinPhones will remind them
of this every time they make a call, and they will hate
them. They will feel
that they have been had, and a mob will
rise up and dump Elop into the nearest
Fjord. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
