Seriously, this is ridiculous. They have getting their butts kicked for the past 3 years in the smartphone market and this is the best they can do ? Has nokia ever heard of diversification ?

Yes, MS has TONS of cash, but once that burn starts because they're losing money, it doesn't take very long to bleed to death.

And you're wrong. Nokia isn't basically pulling a hail Mary. The ARE pulling a hail Mary. Elop has been clear about this from day one.

A forum like this is a horrible place to get genuine consumer feedback. Nokia and MS don't have to win the 0.01% extremists like yourself in order to succeed. If companies made decisions based on what was written here, we'd have nothing to buy. Of course companie...
