true , Symbian had issues before 2/2011 .
But , u r wrong , Symbian was growing in 2010 , but at a slower rate than the late , so yes it was growing in sales but losing market share .
Technically , ur right , 2/11 didn`t crash , rumours of the Nokia.MS alliance and rumours of the upcoming burning platform memo did sharply increase the decline . I know , I was there , in the market for a new device and the N8 was a top contender . These rumours were so prevalent that they were widely regarded as true . So while Elop didn`t create Symbian`s troubles , he did make a bad situation MUCH worse ! For that alone , he and the board need to fired immediately !

IP rights were not just licensed to MS for free, thousands of NOKIA patents were transferred into a third party company, Mosaid Technologies, at no cost and MS now receives one third of the licensing revenues from those patents even though they contributed nothing to the development of the technologies.

They also get to use those patents against their competitors.

Waaay better than GB, & fully competitive with the latest iterations if resources didn’t begin dropping dramatically, even before the 1st bridging device was out.

You have to factor in the platform support payments as well, which would bring the effective cost of the license down. The deal was that Microsoft gives them money to start, and then Nokia pays them back in some fashion.

Are there numbers on what Nokia is making for providing Maps for WP8? That should be factored in to whether they’re making money off the deal or losing it.

If Qt were that awesome, how come it’s hard to find KDE apps that are better than what you can get on Windows?

Ehh, no. Maybe better than gingerbread, but that’s it.
