"When I was at Nokia and we shipped a Symbian product and it was bad, in
its worst incarnation we knew that if we just flipped the switch, we could move
2.5 to three million units -- overnight, no matter how bad the product," he
tells me. "That was Nokia. That was Nokia's brand, we knew we could count
on that.
"And now look at it -- they flipped the switch and oh, 200,000 [Windows
Phone] units out of the gate. Huh? Only selling in the US, under AT&T's
moniker. If you can't flip the switch like that, Nokia's dead and
devalued."

"I know Jorma," says Williams. "He's Don Quixote. He will go
chase the next windmill before he'll go sell the company. That's why he took
them from tyres to phones in the first place. I think that's why he brought Elop
in. What's happened since then... I'm not sure Jorma or others are doing an
honest assessment of how the guy's performing."
