That's because the "Devil" is taking them places where few have gone
and lived to tell about it. How exciting, eh? I suppose it's too late for
them to find their "Daniel Webster" (I love that movie, btw)
It happened to Novell and so many others, so why did Nokia think they
would be any different? Maybe they were made to feel that they were
special or something. :)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

How else can Microsoft buy them for a song?
Once that happens though, will any other manufacturer sell Microsoft phones?
Google and Samsung are friends and still Samsung is suss about the Google buyout
of Motorola, even though they know why it needed to happen.
Still, once it's Microkia will anyone else care anymore?
And will the CEO of Nokia's ex-microsoft past hold him to account if they do
fall so far in the toilet that MS buys them?
cheers

"
It is rare, but some new chief executives fail early — just after they begin
their new jobs.":
Elop made one bet on a turnaround of Nokia,
and it may have been his best and only chance. He tethered his company’s success
to that of Microsoft and its troubled Windows Mobile OS. At least Microsoft had
the cash and marketing muscle to press its software into the market, although
those efforts have been failures in the past. Elop’s decision did almost nothing
for Nokia, at least based on the results from the last year. Nokia’s revenue
collapsed along with its market share in smartphones. Microsoft was no help at
all.
So, some analysts have seen the light, "Microsoft was no help
at all".
