Unbelievable. This is just one of many, many pieces of stark knowledge

authenticity, it's notable that the memo contains a portion previously
reported by *The Register* and heard by sources at *TechCrunch Europe*,
so it would seem that we've simply received the whole thing. Elop goes
on to
suggest that his company is standing on a burning platform and must
change [its] behavior, suggesting that the adoption of a non-homegrown
platform like Android http://www.engadget.com/tag/Android/ or Windows
Phone 7 http://www.engadget.com/tag/WindowsPhone7/ is a more realistic
possibility than ever before.

*Update:* We've now heard from multiple trusted sources that this memo
is
indeed real, and was posted to an internal Nokia employee system. That
makes
it one of the most exciting and interesting CEO memos we've ever seen --
and
we're absolutely dying to see how Elop plans to shake things up.

Overall, the communique laments Nokia's lateral movement while Apple and
Google have started eating its lunch on the mid- and high end and
Shenzhen-based off brands have started to cut into its traditional
dominance
in emerging markets, leaving Espoo with virtually zero market
leadership.

,
and that Elop would start looking to Nokia's new Silicon Valley campus
as
its center of gravity, with execs and senior management expected to
start
spending more time outside Finland.

We'll know far, far more about what's going on over in Espoo in the next
few days, but in the meantime, here are some choice quotes from the
memo:

- ...there is intense heat coming from our competitors, more rapidly
than we ever expected. Apple disrupted the market by redefining the
smartphone and attracting developers to a closed, but very powerful
ecosystem.
- They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.
- Google has become a gravitational force, drawing much of the
industry's innovation to its core.
- We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we
are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a
platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the
end
of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.
- ...Symbian is proving to be an increasingly difficult environment
in which to develop to meet the continuously expanding consumer
requirements...
- Our competitors aren't taking our market share with devices; they
are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem.
- We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have
lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company
through
these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been
delivering innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.
Nokia, our platform is burning.

Pagi2 tiba2 ada salah satu boss di kantor bawa Dell Streak 7 yang pas gw
liat dibelakang body-nya ada tulisan LG Engineering Unit jadi agak bingung
sih, apa emang Dell pake Pabrikasi sama dengan LG?

gw mau review dikit walaupun cuma beberapa menit pegangnya :)

Body: overall keren, slim dan gak terkesan murahan... cuma agak berat yah
kalo dibandingin sama ipad
Layar: sangat responsif, enak banget di touch... cuma warna kurang terang,
lupa deh apa karena gw belum setting contrastnya ya :P
OS: running froyo 2.2 masih bawaan dari Dell deh kayanya
Charger: agak aneh bentuknya kaya charger ipad, harusnya kalo pake microSD
mungkin lebih fleksibel yah
Yang paling gw suka adalah, adanya slot hotswap SIMCard dan Memory Card di
sisi kanan, jadi gak repot kalo mau ganti2 nomer atau SD Card
Kamera belum sempet coba2... jadi gak bisa review hehehehe

nih ada foto penampakannya gw attached yah

*Dell Streak 7 ini bukan pengganti Madroid Supersonic yah* #ngarep LOL

The first iPhone shipped in 2007, and we still don't have a product that

ago, and this week they took our leadership position in smartphone
volumes.
Unbelievable. This is just one of many, many pieces of stark knowledge
allegedly dropped by recently-appointed Nokia CEO Stephen Elop
http://www.engadget.com/tag/StephenElop/-- formerly of Microsoft -- in a
roughly 1,300-word memo to the company's
employees that we've received today. Though we can't vouch for the
authenticity, it's notable that the memo contains a portion previously
reported by *The Register* and heard by sources at *TechCrunch Europe*,
so
it would seem that we've simply received the whole thing. Elop goes on to
suggest that his company is standing on a burning platform and must
change [its] behavior, suggesting that the adoption of a non-homegrown
platform like Android http://www.engadget.com/tag/Android/ or Windows
Phone 7 http://www.engadget.com/tag/WindowsPhone7/ is a more realistic
possibility than ever before.

*Update:* We've now heard from multiple trusted sources that this memo is
indeed real, and was posted to an internal Nokia employee system. That
makes
it one of the most exciting and interesting CEO memos we've ever seen --
and
we're absolutely dying to see how Elop plans to shake things up.

Overall, the communique laments Nokia's lateral movement while Apple and
Google have started eating its lunch on the mid- and high end and
Shenzhen-based off brands have started to cut into its traditional
dominance
in emerging markets, leaving Espoo with virtually zero market leadership.
It's a stark revelation that seems befitting of a man brought in from the
outside -- he's neither Finnish, nor raised in the Nokia system -- and he
promises to start revealing the way forward this Friday at the company's
Capital Markets Day event where grandiose plans have been unveiled in the
past
http://www.engadget.com/2008/12/08/mysterious-new-nokia-touchscreen-interface-and-handset-unveiled/

Whether the memo is legitimate or not, the frequency and intensity of

we've heard they'll be announcing a partnership with Microsoft
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/04/nokia-microsoft-announcing-partnership-next-week-possibly-invo/possibly
revolving around Windows Phone 7, that a boatload of executives
would be shown the door

,
and that Elop would start looking to Nokia's new Silicon Valley campus as
its center of gravity, with execs and senior management expected to start
spending more time outside Finland.

We'll know far, far more about what's going on over in Espoo in the next
few days, but in the meantime, here are some choice quotes from the memo:

- ...there is intense heat coming from our competitors, more rapidly
than we ever expected. Apple disrupted the market by redefining the
smartphone and attracting developers to a closed, but very powerful
ecosystem.
- They changed the game, and today, Apple owns the high-end range.
- Google has become a gravitational force, drawing much of the
industry's innovation to its core.
- We have some brilliant sources of innovation inside Nokia, but we
are not bringing it to market fast enough. We thought MeeGo would be a
platform for winning high-end smartphones. However, at this rate, by the
end
of 2011, we might have only one MeeGo product in the market.
- ...Symbian is proving to be an increasingly difficult environment in
which to develop to meet the continuously expanding consumer
requirements...
- Our competitors aren't taking our market share with devices; they
are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem.
- We poured gasoline on our own burning platform. I believe we have
lacked accountability and leadership to align and direct the company
through
these disruptive times. We had a series of misses. We haven't been
delivering innovation fast enough. We're not collaborating internally.
Nokia, our platform is burning.
