361 Degrees episode 9

This podcast was recorded on Thursday 16th June (i.e. before Nokia Connection).

This week we talk about Nokia... How has it come to this and what next for the big firm?

We discuss:

  • The history behind the current problems.
       
  • How and why the firm has to change.
       
  • Windows Phone, the new strategy... and the parts which are often forgotten.
       
  • Whether Nokia can recover and what its first Windows Phone device will mean.
       

It all gets a bit heated this week... Ewan accuses Rafe of not seeing the warning signs and Rafe explains that the Silicon Valley view is too limited. Ben plays referee and offers some dire warnings about the short-term.
