I swear, elop is the most unpopular man in Finland. If not for U.S military might Finland would declare a war because of what he has done to their national crown jewel.

That sentiment is a little short-sighted... Its equivalent to blaming Obama for the poor economy a year into his term. Nokia was on the path of failure long before Elop arrived.

Elop's statements about current products have been really stupid, and that has really hurt sales. Why announce two platforms 'dead' when there's clear path forward for both of them, and now we have seen major updates and announcements for them?

Except for the fact that Elop is a Canadian citizen born in Ontario.

One could argue that his corporate culture (cough-handlers-cough) is really American (cough-Microsoft-cough).

Except that he was at Microsoft less than three years...
stephen elop's only hope is for nokia's vertu sales to remain high.
