Eh, I dunno, there was some sensible action in there. Reducing to two locations the enormous, global oilslick that is Nokia's R&D seems like a good idea. Gutting all the outsourcing seems like a good idea. De-bureaucratizing and de-cluttering the organization seems, to me, a lot more sensible than outsourcing the very soul of your product's user experience and becoming little more than a commodity electronics manufacturer.
Like Tony Hsieh says, you can't be successful by outsourcing something that should be your core competency.
