Nokia "business as usual" since Elop joined them as CEO. Always talking about the next product, and not the ones available now.
They killed their Symbian business over a year before WP7 phones were available, killed WP7 business by announcing they wouldn't be upgraded to Win8, and now they launch Win8 by telling everyone to wait a year for the "real" phones!
Its the first time I've seen a company so keen to hammer the nails into its own coffin. I can only assume Elop has a plan that involves MS buying the rump of Nokia at some time in the future at a crazy low price. MS are already moving into hardware with the Surface, so making MS branded phones isn't such a big step (and Nokia have a lot of patents, which seems more important than sales these days!)
