Nokia's main markets are indeed China and India, not the UAE.. (I said that)

I read through the latest Eldar's tweets and these caught my attention:
23 hrs ago:
Selop will resign soon
21 hrs ago:
1. Another piece of puzzle. Nokia landed order for WP7 handset to Compal accordinr to digitimes. They even not used own plants. Weird? No
2. As we know Nokia havent customization for WP7 or any unique features. Now they arent used own production. What thats mean? see #3
3. Nokia trying to secure production of WP7 handests. If they going to sell company, they secure WP7 production. Thats an explanation
4. Thats work which Elop did. Funny thing that Compal will deliver 4.5 mln smartphones in 2011, 125k for Nokia
Question from mobilesguji and answer from Eldar (after the tweets about Nokia outsourcing WP7-manufacturing):
mobilesguruji Ankush Kala
@eldarmurtazin so you mean if Microsoft buys the Nok then there would be lag in the production due antitrust commission and other issues...
eldarmurtazin Eldar Murtazin
@mobilesguruji yes
Another question from mobilesguji and answer from Eldar:
mobilesguruji Ankush Kala
@eldarmurtazin is there any chance that MeeGo comes back if WP7 fails and Msoft doesn't buy Nokia...
eldarmurtazin Eldar Murtazin
@mobilesguruji not for Nokia i think. Not with Elop

My guess is that new "S40" will be like N9 but without possibility for tweaking. Swipe OS is so dead simple and works with 1 ghz hardware..

What's the point in celebrating his resignation?
Here's another conspiracy theory:
Nokia's board of directors was already set on selling the company to M$. The deal was already sealed, and all they had to do was find some way to make it happen... Namely, work around the antitrust commission.
The alleged billions that M$ was injecting into Nokia were to compensate for a share tanking that would take place, purposefully, on the design of both parties, so that antitrust commissions would have a convincing argument that the joining of both M$ and Nokia (henceforth referred to as No-Win) was not the case of two giants joining up, but rather, a much larger company buying a once thriving now failing one.
Elop would play his role as the man behind the share's freefall, the board of directors would get their money in advance, in exchange for not doing a thing while they watched their company sink, M$ would buy the then-failing company, everyone would get a frakkload of bucks, no handsets would spread Linux to desktop stations like wildfire, and that would be it.
Any thoughts on the above?

So far, nothing has indicated that Eldar's been well informed about the buyouts. He did predict (a few days after Elopocalypse) the stocks would keep dropping like crazy though, and they have been.
The article quotes elsewhere said that Nokia stock is now $22 billion, a buyout would be $30 bln. Frankly, that's not a lot - but at the same time the Nokia house is collapsing a little more every day so the rest of the smart (dynamic, doers) employees and the buyers base will all be gone soon.

There is lowest category, which is around 20-30e (you might have never seen such device). This is what sells on Africa and some of the Asia.

All times are GMT. The time now is 20:13.
The board are asking themselves, what are Nokias assets TODAY. The answer is Ovi, it is the N9, it is S40/S30, it is the next billion. They see a CEO that is seemingly downplaying all that for the sake of WP. Even though the board hired him specifically to create an ecosystem with MS and to slim down the company, his toad like behaviour is not beneficial for Nokia any more.
It sure as hell will be fun to watch how this unfolds in the coming months
