Nokia Microsoft revolt brews with Plan B "manifesto"

[Basil Chupin]

A small group of Nokia shareholders who claim to be former employees are 
attempting to orchestrate a revolt against the mobile behemoth's 
smartphone partnership with Microsoft.

The Nokia Plan B "manifesto" <http://nokiaplanb.com/> was published on 
Tuesday, containing a pitch to remove former Microsoft executive and now 
Nokia's boss, Stephen Elop from the company.

If the nine investors were voted to the board of directors, they 
promised an "immediate discharge of Stephen Elop" as president and CEO 
of Nokia.

They said they would replace him with a mobile industry insider and 
isolate the Microsoft deal to North America, while maintaining MeeGo as 
Nokia's primary smartphone platform.

The group intends to protest at Nokia's May 3 annual general meeting.
