Example: $450 + million to buy Intellisync Mobile in early 06 and dumped another 100 million into fixing it, only to shut it down in 08, mobile email solutions never lasted more than 6 months then a new solution came out. OPK led the drive to build a high end Netbook long after they where seen as no longer a hot item., Purchased remaining shares of Symbian foundation 400-500 million, on an OS the world said was old, and dying.
8.5 Billion on Nevteq maps and all the money spent on Ovi.
Every 6 months there was another reorg going on.

Where as Steven Elop walked into a huge mess and has been cleaning it up and trying to turn it around. This my friend takes time and is an up hill battle when you have loss market share and have to reinvent your product line. so I would put 95% blame on the former CEO and his team, and 5% on Elop for the stock price.

Nokia's stock will go up when their products start making bigger headway into the mobile market and make money the old fashion way and earn it and not make it by cuts]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 15:40:20 -0400

He came into Nokia which had been mis-managed by OPK for years. I was in a meeting with his CTO and asked him a question and after hearing his answer I realized both men where clueless about where mobile technology was going. Stephen had to make lots of changes in a hurry and so picking WP OS was one of I am sure a few choices he had. Symbian was a dead OS, MeeGo was good but not in the market yet and would be going head to head with Android and Microsoft was willing to help Nokia make WP 7-8 a mobile OS player. I do wish he had also continued with MeeGo, and partnered with Palm's WebOS to give the world an alternative to Android OS. ]]> Mon, 13 May 2013 10:10:21 -0400 If you had worked at Nokia, then you would know that what has happened at Nokia is not Elops fault!

I hope Nokia does not sell the mobile device business off, because the other software and services business may not be enough to keep them going. What about NSN, will they then buy out Siemens share? What about Navteq ?

Nokia should take Vlingo and intergrate it into Here Maps and make it a total hands free mapping and location finding solution for all devices. The time is right for a voice activated mapping product that never requires and touching of the device.

Ex Nokian !]]> Thu, 14 Feb 2013 16:42:20 -0500

Its not so bad if done right, like the new MKC, which looks to be a hit, and I like the tail lights vs the MKT]]> Thu, 17 Jan 2013 07:53:52 -0500

I think there is a lot of people who love Sports wagons because they need more then a car and do not want an SUV.

As to the MKX yes it is nothing more than an Edge, but for now I hope they can ride it out until they redesign it, The MKT has not done anything to excite me either, I would rather have seen a 2013 Ford Explorer with a lot of sheet metal differences with maybe some of what the new MKC has. ]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2013 05:33:36 -0500

• RIM will also have a host of options depending on need for mobile management.
So do most of the others
• - Don't have any needs - great they support EAS now and you can use Exchange for basic controls
Then they are no different than any other MDM players
• - Don't want to use Blackberry devices - sure their MDM is comparable to anything on the market and cheaper. There is no secret sauce when you manage iOS or Android as they have the same API set Apple and Google release.
Again then they are no different than any other MDM players
• Want further security and sandbox your data on iOS / Android - they have a container much like other MDM
Please explain their container for iOS & Android, because I see no info on this Sandbox client from RIM for non BB devices, Take a look at divide.com sandbox client and this is where the future of BYOD (Business/Personal)with ASE 256 encryption and FIPS 140-2
• Have security needs beyond iOS/Android - BB10 has most of what legacy BB provided and improvements over BES (enterprise App Store, Balance etc).
For Example what Security improvements do they have beyond EAS 14.1]]> Fri, 28 Dec 2012 14:12:16 -0500 So why is the NOC any better ? they had it go down many times and is a single point of failure and most don’t want it or need a NOC service any more

Just hold on and wait for it to turn around I bought in at $5.60 thinking they had hit bottom, but NSN is doing well now, Nevteq is doing well, and WP8 will overtime do well also. Mr. Elop had no choice but to dump Symban and go with another OS.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2012 06:47:07 -0500
