> people that were actually Nokia employees at the time. >> I was on the Networks unit By the time the board hired Elop Nokia-tanic was already with a giant hull breach. Sure, you can claim what your personal experience of an unrelated unit in Nokia gives you a proper visibility to the circumstances, but what Nokia actually did before the memo is telling what were happening there way better than your experience. And.…
See, by 2010, we were already focusing on Red-Hat Linux.... You have no idea of what visibility I actually had, how Networks worked with Mobile, which buildings we shared, common lunch talks, nor I am going to disclose most of the NDA stuff. So think whatever you want out of it.
Yes.
But I have a very good idea of what products Nokia shipped before the memo and they were quite shit, compared to the other options on the market.
Just re-read the memo itself and explain with a honest heart how exactly Apple got to 61% in 2010? Was that the evil Elop doing things? Or that was Nokia and Nokia employees doing shit for years before 2010?
You are perfectly aware what to lose the market in 2010 you need to make shit products in 2007-2009, because you can't be totally fine all this time and at Dec 31 2010 BAM all the base belong to Apple.
> which buildings we shared, common lunch talks
Puhlease, lunch talks don't push a shitty products to the market. It's the internal bureaucracy, lack of the ability to take the responsibility and overall the bloated and entrenched corporate culture of Nokia what does that.
