The Great Debate: The rationality of Nokia's switch to Microsoft's WP
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, October 17 2012 @ 10:28 AM EDT
<BLOCKQUOTE>On the other hand, many concur with Tomi who feels
the WP7 was an illogical choice, and Nokia had a perfectly
workable path forward without it. </BLOCKQUOTE>

If by 'a perfectly workable path forward' you mean less than
2% smartphone market share, I can agree with that. I wouldn't
expect them to compete much better under Android. Windows
phone, with or without MS seed money, is a reasonable bet for
the largest market share.

by that reasoning, make a bike with square wheels, since so many with round wheels are out there

>>others insisting Android wouldn't get them very far with
>>all the Android OEMs already in the market.

That 'logic' makes no sense to me. A ready-to-go OS is out there, available for
free, and it is competing well. So, rather than release a product with that OS,
send one out with distinctly-unimpressive software.

Back to the bike analogy; if you were going to start a bike brand, would you use
square wheels on the logic that too many others are out there with round wheels?
