Nokia: ‘We don’t have a Plan B’

Posted on 08 February 2012 by

Wander into Nokia’s corporate HQ and, if Victor Saejis is to believed, you’ll be hard pressed to find any manilla folder bearing the legend “Plan B.” The handset maker’s European Manager told Swedish financial daily Dagens Industri that the company has no contingency plan in the event that Windows Phone loses out to Android and iOS saying that “Plan B is that Plan A is to succeed.” It’s a pretty unequivocal statement that Espoo’s betting the farm on consumers embracing Microsoft’s OS. Commenting on the company’s recent troubles and winding down of Symbian and demise of MeeGo, he said “it’s like starting all over again. But we must succeed in the U.S. if we are to succeed in the world” — pretty honest, if a little disappointing to anyone who hoped there was an Android-powered white N9 lying in a Finnish skunkworks.
