Re: Sad news; Nokia apparently killed Meltemi

Not even a hardware unit - Nokia will only be a design house for Microsoft. The phone hardware build is being farmed out as well.

It is really sad to see what was a great European corporation...

Re: Let's talk Nokia stock!

Splitting Nokia up is not the answer, and will only trash the company further.

Re: Nokia on the brink of failure

This all shows that Nokia was batshit crazy to ditch Maemo/Meego and Symbian in favour of Windows Phone.

They should (but wont) release the N9 worldwide ASAP. And start work on a couple of extra...

Re: N810 as front end to media center?

Really depends on what you expect your use case to be, and the applications you intend to use on the server.
