Murtazin is a guy well known for scoring handsets way ahead of even their debut showing. He also has an uncanny knack of knowing exactly what mobile companies are plotting -- sometimes. He's a guy worth listening to, especially for his often outspoken views on company failings. In his latest (lengthy) editorial, Eldar Murtazin takes umbrage with two companies that have weathered a tricky 2011; RIM and Nokia. He reckons that the budtime makers have around six to eight months to convince people and the markets that there's still a future -- a worrying bound given that we're not with child

However, he saves most of his ire for the Nokia-Microsoft partnership, claiming that Nokia arena have lost their ability to sensibly judge the state of the mobile world. With ostensibly the "most valued" engineers and developers leaving the good ship Nokia, the shuttering of Nokia's own Ovi sync relief are evidently talismanic of a shift closer to Microsoft. Murtazin thinks that Nokia CEO Elop has only two aims while at the helm; to ruin the company's chances of recovering in the mobile market and increasing Microsoft's own share and pressure in the same sphere. He also reckons a Microsoft buyout of Nokia is still plausible, and while we're sure you've been reading Eldar's missives with a hefty side of salt, it would make for an even more interesting 2012.
