I guess he wanted to avoid such pithy language while still head of the
division;)

Clearly, he does not trust Google. What is less clear is why. My guess
is that he still thinks Nokia should have a stranglehold on the mobile
phone software OS, though they have not even been close for some years
now. The dreams they had when they came up with Symbian die hard:(

Anssi Vanjoki, outgoing head of Nokia’s smartphone division, likens 
mobile phone makers that adopt Google’s software to Finnish boys who“pee 
in their pants” for warmth in the winter. Temporary relief is followed 
by an even worse predicament.

The (preliminary) word that folks at Nokia are giving me is that the
site is legit, though the posts are suspicious, at least.  They're
trying to figure out whether it's a true bad actor or just someone in
marketing run amok.

OK, checked that domain name, and it appears to be hosted out of
Houston TX.  Not at all what I'd expect for a Nokia site.  So odds are
it's a phishing site.

Odd that so much work went into the site -- hard to see what they
expect to gain.

The Nokia platforms running Qt are probably generally friendlier to
the programmer than Android, and market penetration of the Nokia
phones in Europe is quite high.  Plus problems with piracy are much
less.  The main downsides are the crummy pressure-sensitive touch
screens and the short battery life.

That said, this is a really clumsy spamming effort, and I'm a little
surprised that Nokia is (apparently) doing it.  (Unless this is the
first work of that new marketing manager they hired off of Microsoft.)
