What an idiotic idea.

Rumour has it Ollila was pressured from US investors to put Elop in charge. Vanjoki was supposed to be the one but instead it was Elop and Vanjoki left the company the day after.

I find this plan very interesting, but i don't knw if it's going to be right. Also, there's a part that seems like revenge, that of "Leadership team shakeup", so I don't know if it's legitimate or just a try to gain better position inside Nokia.
I really like "Aggressively recruit young software talent from top universities", this is already being done by Microsoft and government proyects.
"Restructure alliance with Microsoft as a tactical exercise focused primarily at the North American market" HEY, they are not throwing all to waste, they are proposing a reasonable place for "that thing" called WP7...
The other points... don't really know how real or factible or useful would be... specially R&D schema, I'm not developer so don't know if that Centralization would really help..

I should correct myself. According to this page http://communities-dominate.blogs.co...microsoft.html MS has 3% market share in the smartphone segment, down from 12% last year, but that includes older versions too. WP7 had 1.5% market share in Q4.

Plan B can't be trusted why would shareholders try and cause inner fighting like that and watch there investment plummet.
they have no long term vision they only registered the domain for 1 year.
yet they think they know whats best for nokia in long term lol.
give it a rest you anonymous idiots.

It's like the current one with ms/elop but with hope if their hard work pays off.

And it's based on open-source so the whole of humanity won't end up losers like Nokia's employees, shareholders and stakeholders in the current scenario.

the problem with this is, everyone can set this up.
some point are very good, soms are very questionable.
I think they should come with a new strategy for their own plan.
It doesn't look very real right now.

no offence but that article sounds like it was written by the love child of Texrat and Tomi Ahonen.
So much in common with the style

Agreed and the tone does not match with the regular share-holders official press release. The tone is very straight forward.

Seriously guys get over it. Its not like this is the end of the world. Sure it was not something that was most of the tech. enthusiasts wanted but it was a pure business decision.
