Finesse 'Trojan Horse' and the Shifting Symbian

Keep in mind, the budget division of R & D Nokia in the last year reached USD 4.3 Million. These costs are more than twice as Apple simply takes USD 1.78 million in the same year. Because here's CEO Stephen Elop issued a policy.

The news was less reassure began in early April for the division of research and development (R & D) Nokia as trimming the number of employees. Nokia has 16,134 employees in the division of R & D. Globally, the division's employees will be reduced by 38 percent.

Accenture will take over the activities of Nokia's Symbian software development in the future. While Nokia itself will focus on Microsoft as a new partner by bringing up Windows Phone as the primary OS.

Once the R & D division, now turn to outsource Symbian developers hit 'unlucky'. Of 4,000 people, about 3,000 employees will be passed to a company called Accenture. However, Nokia also offered other positions before some of the employees taken over Accenture.


What If Nokia Wrong Strategy?

Some people are blaming the CEO Stephen Elop as the thorn 'drojan horse' of Microsoft's embedded in Nokia.

Observe only very recently. Ovi Chat and Ovi Mail on merger with Yahoo. Services 'Comes with Music' international closed. Ovi Files service closed. Not to mention how the continuation of the fate of the OS Maemo and MeeGo project.

Admittedly there was a time all. Likewise with Symbian now being dimmed. Symbian fans speck of hope still exists on the shoulders of 'Symbian Anna (PR 2.0)', which is an improved Symbian ^ 3.

But what if the whole policy of cuts and massive savings proved wrong. What if started early 2012, Nokia with Windows Phone, it proved it was also able to captivate the hearts of consumers. So if the 'trojan horse' to blame?
