Can Nokia be saved by a visionary?

After a disastrous turmoil in the market, a new face came to buoy the sinking fleet of Nokia...

Mr. Stephen Elop. A person with a massive track record of making thing fall in place, he joined the organization as the spearhead. The motive... To help Nokia recover from the trauma it suffered from the slap in the face from Android and Apple.

He came, he saw, did he conquer?
There is nothing that can be said so far.

Since the alliance of the "once upon a time" greatest handset manufacturer and Microsoft, times have not changed enough for Nokia.
The mobile market for 2012 has began with a blast as Samsung announced 12 new models for the year.
On the parallel lines, HTC, Sony and Apple are not far behind.
Android (which has already grabbed enough pace) is undergoing an awaited update...
On this complete scenario what we have from Nokia?
Lumia 800 and 701... These phones would have definitely been the apple of the eye had these been released ages ago.
Nokia is not coming out with something outrageously different that can register the company's trademark comeback in this competitive "ecosystem".

Personally speaking, I have too much respect for Mr. S. Elop (he stands right in my list of "The Respected's" after the all great Mr. Steve Jobs).
However, I expect a slash of brilliance from Nokia to shut the mouths of Nokia non-believers.

Wish all the very best to Nokia.
