Wander into Nokia’s corporate HQ and, if Victor Saejis is to said, you’ll be hard pushed to find any manilla folder bearing the legend “Plot B.” The handset maker’s European Manager told Swedish financial daily Dagens Industri that the company has no contingency plot in the event that Windows Phone loses out to Android and iOS saying that “Plot B is that Plot A is to make it.” It’s a pretty undeniable statement that Espoo’s betting the farm on consumers embracing Microsoft‘s OS. Commenting on the company‘s recent troubles, the winding down of Symbian and the demise of MeeGo, he said “it’s like starting all over again. But we must make it in the U.S. if we are to make it in the world” — pretty honest, if a small disappointing to anyone who hoped there was an Android-powered white N9 lying in a Finnish skunkworks.
