Agreed. I was trying to say that the develpers have talent and if Accenture can work with them, they can move them on to other projects. Also as Symbian declines the cvalue of the remainnig developers with Symbian knowledge goes up - good for themand good for accenture. No price has been put on hte deal. looks like clever play by Acenture becuse as others have commmented, they get to be a preferred partner with NOkia on Windows mobile as well. Nokia may have shot itself in the foot again, losing loads of talent that it ends up hiring back from Accenture. That said, Nokia is in hte mess it is because the management and porbably the developers couldm't adapt quickly enough. Accenture will have to change that culture.
