Re: Nokia Windows Phone!!!!

Guys, don't be so hard on the guy just because he lives on a distant planet approximately 78 billion km away. He posted as soon as the news reached him. :)

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

I like how you managed to miss the whole point completely. But I'll leave it at that. The thought of having to engage in a debate with you even over such mundane things like current weather makes me...

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

Nokia has been developing most of Harmattan behind closed doors, so unsurprisingly not many outside Nokia can tell you that. We'll be the judges when they get the "MeeGo related device" out. Certain...

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

There was a plausible alternative offered, that was the old strategy. Are you familiar with it? Even if you are, I'll just have to disagree with you.

This will not speed up anything. They probably...

Re: Maybe the unpleasant truth is that MeeGo really was too late and/or not good enough?

For me the biggest insanity in this isn't about WP7 being bad, or some ideological openness question. It's the seemingly disproportionate ratio between what Nokia is giving up (past, present and...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

And do that while Nokia was still number 2 in profits (Q4) only topped by Apple, and still leading in market share in both overall and smartphones, although in decline.

They waste just as much...

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego? Hello WP7!!

Seriously, this is about the worst case scenario for Nokia. They totally crapped on their Qt strategy. They gave up Ovi Store to MS. They dumped billions of investment in existing ecosystem an Qt....

Don't know if I should laugh or cry. :P

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

They essentially gave up all their chances to build something unique. Good luck differentiating on "imaging" then. Merging Ovi Store with MS Marketplace? I think they pissed in their pants for warmth.

Re: Alien Dalvik, run android apps on non android phones (Like N900)

Re: Nokia CEO Elop lays groundwork for new strategy to be announced next month, a move away from meego?

The partnership was announced already in August 2009. At one point Nokia had a ton of job listings looking for people to do the development. Interestingly, the Microsoft counterpart of the deal was...

Re: MeeGo reference devices - possible N9 prototypes?

Nokia doesn't seem to separate Linux and other devices with the RX and RM anymore. All those listed above are dug out from Meego sources, Linux kernel sources, bug reports etc. so they are or have...

Re: MeeGo reference devices - possible N9 prototypes?

Interesting, RM-716 is a new one. Others I've bumped into are

- RX-71
- RM-581
- RM-660
- RM-680
- RM-690
- RM-696.

Edit: A bit of googling with RM-716 also reveals an RM-742.

I think you're a bit hasty to rub it in, unless your prediction was that media is going to speculate on Nokia adopting WP7 which really earns no bragging rights.

On a related note, I'm constantly...

Re: Nokia is partnering with Yahoo! (for ovi mail)

Re: Nokia spending big bucks on MeeGo

Numbers in the original article (http://digitaldaily.allthingsd.com/20110203/not-seeing-much-return-on-that-massive-rd-spend-are-you-nokia/) don't quite add up. The Bernstein's breakdown chart says...

Re: Elop said N9 is a 2011 event. It's 2011! Where is it?

It wasn't even a rumour. It was an open letter(I guess not very open 'cause I couldn't find it) by a bank analyst to Elop and Ballmer and from the excerpts a very trollish one. One article in...

Re: MeeGo reference devices - possible N9 prototypes?

1) You are dismissing Harmattan, which IMO is likelier on the first Nokia "MeeGo" device than MeeGo proper. That testing wouldn't be done in the open.

2) I'm pretty sure Nokia has their own...
