lets give elop a chance and see what he will do. i totally agree that meego is a perfect match for iOS and Android but lets give windows phone a chance as well. one thing elop is doing really good and the thing is that nokia is now more active. devices are launched when they are announced and they doesn't take 4 to 5 months to get released. i just want to see Nokia on the top spot again whether the OS will be Meego or Windows Phone it really doesn't matter. and if windows phone failed then Nokia dont have any option to use Meego and Symbian as their main high end OS. and i also think with Symbian Belle update, Symbian is ready again to fight back.

No need for detailed reasons. Elop is a Microsoft whore....'nuff said.

panjgoori, I grade your post D-
See me after class.
Still, I'd rather have you in charge of Nokia than Elop, because the aimless meandering of your post would fit in nicely with the old pre-Elop management style - failing to see what's in front of them, making vague pronouncements, but at least vaguely well-intentioned. Despite its myriad failings, that old management style at least brought us the N900 and the N9.
...and to address the core of this thread: as others have noted, online petitions aren't worth the paper they're written on.

- Nokia has a problem!
- Something must be done!
- Trashing the roadmap and becoming Microsoft's "partner" is something!
- Therefore that is what must be done!

i just want to see Nokia on the top spot again whether the OS will be Meego or Windows Phone it really doesn't matter.

He destroys everything what Nokia is and turn it to Microsoft or something? I hope that windows phone will not sell well. The N9 is so much better in every way!

someone must be stupid to write this kind of petition. I aasume you don't know how the company works and this petition is a huge crap
Some possible outcomes:
1)Occupiers are ignored (buisness as usual)
2)Elop and board members come down to the lobby and hand out free lumia 800s to everyone. Elop then explains Nokia's global strategic planning. Everyone realizes that he is not such a bad guy and become Elop worshipers.
3)Nokia gives out the remaining N950s to the occupiers and they go away.
4)Nokias calls the police. The occupiers are beaten and dragged away to jail, never to be heard from again....
Any volunteers?

Remember that Elop is not only Microsoft and WP, but also "Internet for the next billion" and a strong focus on Qt and QML. Removing Elop could also endanger those strategies. If Elop really wanted to kill the N9, he would have done this, IMHO, instead of splitting the world into WP and Symbian/MeeGo markets.
He most probably killed the first N9 design because it had serious issues and called people back to the drawing board to make sure the MeeGo phone will rock.
