Former Nokia Exec: Windows Phone Strategy Doomed

Posted by Unknown on Wednesday March 21, 2012 @04:34AM from the iceberg-ahead dept.

itwbennett writes "Slashdot readers will recall that back in January, Nokia CEO Steven Elop blamed the company's Windows Phone woes on commission-minded salespeople, who pushed phones they thought would actually sell. Now, ex-Nokia exec Tomi Ahonen is calling the Nokia's Windows Phone strategy 'a certain road to death.' He bases this grim assessment on UK market shares from Kantar Worldpanel: 'When Nokia shifted from "the obsolete" Symbian to "the awesome" Windows Phone, Nokia lost a third of its customers! In just one quarter!' Can MeeGo or Tizen save Nokia now?"

The Android kernel is such a pathetic piece of trash. Every Android phone experiences massive battery problems, especially on standby.
