Yeah, it's clear that if Elop had his way, the N9 wouldn't be released at all. Either there's an external contract, or there's some internal promise he made to board members/shareholders. This smells a lot like the Kin launch just to meet a contractual obligation between MS and Verizon.

The launch of a doomed product just to meet a contractual obligation--if that's what it is--is going to do a lot for Nokia's relationship with carriers in the future.

Ouch.
