Now Nokia's championing Windows phones...

... will JPZR get his job back?

Just wondering...

It's official: Nokia bets on Microsoft for smartphones

Oh, the sweet irony...

A long time ago (about nine years) in a country far, far away (Finland) there was a young man called JPZR. He used to wax lyrically about the failings of Nokia phones and the company's lack of insight as to what people wanted. He said there should be music players, long before Nokia put MP3 capability on their phones, and so on.

Unfortunately, young JPRZ had a not so good way of expressing himself. In stead of saying, for ex. "I say, these phones are rather lacking in trendy features." It would come out something like "F#&%ing Nokia have f!?&ed up again. The Nokia N785037 is total sh!t!!!" If you get my drift. This was a pity, as he often had a valid point. He would often compare Nokia phones with Microsoft based ones. However, most folk took him up on his presentation rather than his technical content.

He was also pretty keen on the Microsoft OS for phones, even, IRC, contributing in some form. This didn't sit too well with his employer, either. Which just happened to be Nokia. Poor JPZR was cast out, branded a traitor and gob-shite.

Looks like he gets the last laugh!
