Earlier today I posted the press release that Nokia issued this morning about Rick Simonson leaving his post as CFO to head the mobile phones unit. Reuters managed to digg up some more details. The Devices Unit is now split into three subunits, not two as I said this morning. Mobile Phones, which does S30 and S40 based devices, will be headed by Rick Simonson. Smartphones, which will work on Symbian based devices, will be headed by Jo Harlow. Mobile Computers will be headed by former Apple Vice President John Martin and will focus soley on Maemo. Good luck gentlemen.
