Nokia CEO Elop considers giving up MeeGo system

Nokia’s chief executive, Stephen Elop, recently received an interview with the Finnish Helsingin Sanomat. Last Thursday, Nokia released a brand new N9 mobile phone in Singapore, which received widespread attention. When talking about the N9 and MeeGo operating systems, Elop said: "Even if the N9 is successful, Nokia will not return to MeeGo."

The Nokia N9 mobile phone release time was one year ahead of schedule. The successful listing of the N9 also added a mystery to the future of MeeGo. Elop said: “There are many new breakthroughs in the practicality, design, and materials of the N9. We will continue to carry forward the future models.”

For MeeGo's future, there is news that the Nokia N9 will be the same as the N900, becoming the orphan of the Nokia MeeGo system, and the N9 will be the first MeeGo phone, and the last one. Elop's answer confirms this conjecture: "Even if N9 succeeds, Nokia will not return to MeeGo." "I participated in the work of the consumer testing team, user feedback is very positive, I believe Windows Phone system will be a great success ."

Nokia's business strategy will not return to the MeeGo platform. It seems to be a foregone conclusion. The cooperation between Nokia and Microsoft has been controversial. Some commentators have said that Nokia will become a device manufacturer and a Microsoft subcontractor. Elop refuted this statement: "Nokia will continue its research and development in software, as well as service and device design. We will continue to build new products on Windows Phone, Nokia is able to stand out from the competition, and Bring this advantage to our application developers."

Contrary to CEO Elop’s confidence is Nokia’s current poor performance. Competitors’ sales performance continues to climb, and Nokia’s market share is constantly being grabbed and divided. Since the beginning of this year, Nokia's stock has fallen by more than 40%. Coupled with layoffs, investors have begun to express serious doubts about the development of Nokia. In the forecast made by the Wall Street Journal, Nokia is listed in the list of top ten brands that will disappear in 2012. This former mobile giant is facing an unprecedented disaster.

In response to Nokia's recent turmoil, Elop said: "I fully understand that investors want to see Nokia's complete new strategy, but it will take some time. Once the time is ripe, Nokia will announce a new strategy, when all doubts All will disappear."
