Stephen Elop New Chief Innovator For Australia's Telstra

Posted by timothy on from the telstra's-famous-customer-satisfaction dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes: The former Microsoft executive excoriated by some industry watchers for the collapse of Nokia Mobile Phones, Stephen Elop, has re-emerged down under. Telstra says Elop is being appointed to the new role of Group Executive Technology, Innovation and Strategy, "leading Telstra's strategy to become a world class technology company" (stop giggling, you in the back row). Telstra cites Elop's "deep technology experience" and "innate sense of customer expectations."

    You're ignorant - my N808 running Symbian Belle is still unrivalled as a "camera phone" with 41MP and a Zeiss lens, and my brand new Jolla Sailfish phone from the ex-Nokia crowd is the natural descendant of Meego, Maemo etc. and it runs Android apps just fine, thank you very much.
    Nokia was nowhere near dead, you're just reading from someone else's script ...
