You notice a recommendation of the board to invite a veteran in the industry called Stephen Elop, however you ignore the staff in risk of jeopardizing the company and assign Marko Ahtisaari to the head of devices
He proceeds with nuking the Symbian division, transferring their team and put all development efforts into finishing the N9-01 project, by mid 2011 the device is finished and released, Nokia releases a development plan to bring high profile application developers to the platform and sinks money into advertisement.
6 months later we do a price cut for the Nokia N9 and release the Nokia Lauta (Branded as Nokia N950) as a Prosumer device and the Nokia A9 as an entry device (Sub 200USD) with the slogan "For a better everyday", the price cut with the N9 and the A9 makes Nokia a success with the crowd again, developers and /g/ neckbeards N950 and pushes other manufacturers to not step away from QWERTY entirely
While developing a Meego Harmattan tablet the development team realizes that they can make applications that scale from Mobile to Desktop with the Qt SDK using the same code, they Start researching convergence/continuum in 2011, unlike WP8/W8 that would soon come these apps are truthly universal
RIM can't keep up with the current market since Nokia still owns the Qt SDK and can't develop BB10 with proper pace, we buy Blackberry team in 2012 when they are at it's bottom peak after Nokia becomes a market leader again, reveal Nokia Tablet at an appealing price point (200USD) following what HP and Amazon has done, with the difference that this can run desktop-grade applications with the same user friendliness of mobile
By 2016, Thanks to Nokia, Marko Ahtisaari becomes the wealthiest man in Europe, Free Software becomes acceptable on the daily usage, Desktops are almost entirely replaced by Convergence hybrids from Nokia and other manufacturers, the conflicts in Syria and Iraq never happen and the western civilization never collapses
