Anssi Vanjoki possibly new CEO of Vertu which ditches Symbian for Android

First and foremost, Anssi Vanjoki might be returning to a once Nokia related position, ex Nokia subsidiary, Vertu. Vertu is the luxury phone brand that defies all sense of logic because people that own it seem to have more money than sense. Well, they just have a lot of money full stop. Nokia decided that it would focus on core businesses and sold off Vertu. Now TechCrunch reckon, Vanjoki may take the position as CEO.

Furthermore, Symbian (only a recent addition to Vertu) will supposedly be ditched in favour of Android. Jordan Crook and Steve O’Hear of TechCrunch see WP8 as more fitting to their luxury OS thing but Android would be easier to sell.

In a small way, since Nokia still owns 10% of Vertu, it’s kinda nice to think Anssi is still somewhat connected again to Nokia (and oddly making Android).
