Nothing brings me more to Earth than job losses. I still believe in WP, and can see the future as bright for Nokia. I also could see this restructuring happening no matter what. Nokia was overbloated, and that was a huge reason they contracted out Symbian support as they phased it out. Not like I know, but I am willing to bet most of these job losses are due to trimming the R&D from their software department, and the production lines for Symbian devices.

Will give a small prayer for those getting the bad news, or maybe even worse, waiting over the next few months to get the message. I have been through this in 2006 with the automobile industry, and my Wife (retail manager) is going through it right now, as her store may be closed and she might be out of work. This is not fun times.

Anyone remember when Motorola was on its deathbed..? They are only Android now and have a relationship tighter, but similar to the one MS has with Nokia. In the end Nokia will have the last laugh when thier Lumia series increases taking market share. Everyone seems to forget they were so far behind in teh smartphone market before the deal with MS it wasn't funny. Most Symbian phones they sold weren't smart phones but feature phones. The Lumia series are doing more for them than any of their previous "smartphones". So don't count them out right now, they could easily make a comeback as the premiere manufacturer for WindowsPhone8.

Everyone keeps saying window phone will make a come back, it will take down the big two (Android & Apple).

1.Android fans--Loves customize, the power of the hardware,the ability to create roms / Tinkers

2.Apple Fans--Loves simplicity, Applications.

The question is, who will window8 take customers from?, who are they targeting to be their customer?.
