Nokia's Bad Call on Smartphones
- mtgx 14y ago"Shortly after taking the job, Mr. Elop scrapped work on Nokia's homegrown smartphone software and said the company would use Microsoft Corp.'s MSFT +2.66% Windows mobile operating system. By doing so, he was able to deliver a new line of phones to compete with the iPhone in less than a year, much quicker than if Nokia had stuck with its own software, he says." I keep hearing Elop saying this, but what the hell is he talking about? The N9 was available like a year before they even got their first WP7 product out.
- scriptproof 14y agoThe sum of bad moves from Nokia is atonishing! iPhone-like in 2000, Meego replaced by WP are some examples.
