What is stephen elop doing?

Stephen Elop, Nokia's new CEO, is struggling with competition from Apple Inc, maker of the iPhone, and Google Inc, whose Android software is used in smartphones made by Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc and Samsung Electronics Co. Elop, the first non-Finn to run the company, has yet to present his long-term plans for Nokia after almost four months on the job.


What is he waiting for? Is nokia going to end it's production lines and move on to telephony service solutions. Or will it just take another turn and move onto a new industry like it did a few times before it beame a communications company.. they used to make rubber boots at very cheap rates you know.

Nokia X7
Nokia has cancelled it's planned release of the Nokia X7 multimedia phone along with AT&T. 

Nokia had planned to offer the touch phone this year exclusively on AT&T's US network.

Last year, Nokia delayed its N8 smartphone by at least three months due to production delays. It remains to be seen whether this is the reason for this years delays as well. Laurie Armstrong, a spokeswoman for Nokia, said the company doesn't comment on plans with wireless carriers.

The Nokia X7 also runs the symbian 3rd iteration operating system which is a very unappealing operating software. The delay could also be due to the OS having problem which is a very probable cause. The symbian website was taken down last year. It's last theme was a cartoony design which was a last ditch effort by thr Symbian foundation to revamp their pblic face.
