NOKIA'S CEO Stephen Elop might want to take note of this, as The INQUIRER's readers have decided it is a bad move by the Nokia CEO and one-time Microsoft executive to make his last employer's Windows Phone operating system his company's strategic plan.
They think it is so bad that in our latest poll, which just happens to follow Nokia's own poll on its strategic decision, 77 per cent of the respondents so far have indicated that they think that Nokia's Windows Phone strategy for smartphones is a very bad idea indeed.
The question was, "What's exciting about Nokia's deal to become Microsoft's smartphone OEM?" In their responses, 77 per cent of INQUIRER readers chose either "Nothing, it's just stupid" or "It's just Android versus Iphone now".
The latter response is a reference to Elop's claim on 11 February that there is now a three horse race in smartphones - Apple's IOS, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone. But our readers know better.
The responses to the poll's question that saw a paltry 23 per cent appear to accept the suicidal decision by Elop were, "Windows Phone 7 user interface and features", "Windows desktop and Microsoft Office integration" and "Silverlight, Internet Explorer 9, Outlook, Xbox games". However we suspect that those responding to Silverlight and IE9 might have been chortling at the likely problems that might arise.
If Microsoft can't even get its pre-update update right, whatever hope is there for it getting anything else right any time soon? Most of our readers would probably say, "Nothing, it's just stupid."
