maemo.org - Talk - Let's talk Nokia stock. Really.

I think it a quote from an article written 6 years after the fact based on anonomous contributions from ex-Nokia employees who were pretty much all in the MAemo camp, and thus likely to be a bit jaundiced in their views about Symbian.

Whilst they have some (perhaps many) legitimate gripes about the politics that did for Maemo, the quote is substantially misleading.

Here's an alternative point of view from Michal Jerz of my-symbian.com:

His point really - and keeping vaguely on topic concerning share price - is that Nokia made some poor management decisions that had long term repercussions.

Michael's point is interesting as he pushes the fork in the road much earlier than 2005 and 2006, and above comment probably refers to the Symbian that was available in 2005 and 2006. Nonetheless, he makes interesting points in pretty much pushing the blame to pre-2005 NOKIA.

Nokias new motto could be:

"If you thought we sucked before, wait until Elop starts making decisions"

@Lumiaman

Are you really trying to suggest that what amounts to little more than corporate in fighting and empire building around 6 years earlier in some way accounts for the catastrophic failures of Nokia under Elop?

I think the phrase you are looking for is

Clutching at straws.

And here's an illuminating blog post from a named source who worked on MeeGo.

There'd be no resurrection of Symbian.

Read the above blog to get some idea why MeeGo, Android, Sailfish OS, Firefox OS, Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, etc... are all Linux based.

Digia have announced the next version of Qt will fully support development for Android and iOS. So that's Android, iOS, Sailfish OS, Ubuntu Touch, BB10 plus any desktop you care to think of.

Mmm... Linux + Qt + NOKIA hardware :cool:

But why not? According to you Symbian is the strongest OS in the history of mankind. Symbian still rules the world in 2/3 of your brain.
So why wouldnt King of Symbian resurrect it????? OH my....I guess Symbian wasnt that hot after all.

The above blog is a joke of someones conversation with Elop. See the article I gave above that was based on multiple resources and trumps anything you have shown so far.
