Nokia smartphone sales down significantly in 4Q. Should Ballmer be fired for buying them? http://bgr.com/2014/01/23/nokia-earnings-q4-2013-analysis/ …
@TheRomit I’m looking at quarter to quarter growth rates, which is a YoY measure. Totally valid (and common) approach

@monkbent 8.2MM vs 4.4MM? -
@TheRomit problem is decrease in growth rate from 130% to 80% (plus the profit issues, obv) -
@monkbent Also, while all unit sales are still small, isn't 130% last year over an even smaller starting # than the 80% this year? -
@TheRomit 130% last quarter -
@monkbent Going back to original question, assuming MS wanted to stay the WP course, was there an option for them besides buying Nokia? -
@TheRomit I think I nailed it day of :)http://stratechery.com/2013/the-deal-that-makes-no-sense/ … -
@monkbent Right, goes against the assumption I made in my previous reply :-) [That MS wants to stay the WP course] -
@TheRomit I assume they do, but think they shouldn’t - 1 more reply
