Nokia sticking with symbian is pointless (it would have only been a matter of time before they become extint), we all know that symbian has come of age. Meego on the other hand didn't take off (at least not as nokia expected). Reciting meego meego meego meego doesn't change the fact that nokia has been able to deliver a meego device yet and it already about three years ago the first iPhone was released. Not one of Nokia's present phone is close to good enough to compete with iPhone and Android.<br /><br />This is a risk nokia had to take, for a minute put your sentiments and bias glasses on the shelves and look at the reality. WP7 is not a bad OS, and Nokia needed an OS (not Symbian) and meego is not even close to ready. IMHO, WP7 was a smart move by Nokia but only time will tell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5018276662070689531.post-5564860664355464002011-02-12T00:22:33.405+01:002011-02-12T00:22:33.405+01:00tja.. nokia din't have a real choice, I feel.

That's only marginally less Dead-on-Arrival than Maemo.<br /><br />One thing is true, Nokia can't run complimenting services to save their lives. OVI is useless and they've closed several parts of it over the last year.<br /><br />But it didn't have to be an all-or-nothing deal. They could have reached out to Yahoo and the other big web-service people to make something truly great.<br /><br />WP7 will be the death of Nokia. And it looks like my ageing N900 will be my last Nokia phone.<br /><br />I hate to speculate what this is going to do to the money Nokia throws as open source projects like Qt.Oli Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188539368728448045noreply@blogger.com
