Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

If you have everything in a device, what would compel you to buy the next one?

I noticed that 90% of the feature requests are WONTFIX'd for Maemo 5.

Hardware upgrades

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

Can you provide some proof for your number?

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

Sorry, it is just an arbitrary number. I wanted to mean "very much".
No offense.

Just look at the bugzilla links in people's signatures, and stuff. I just looked at my votes in the bugzilla.
I voted at only a few (about 15 or so) bugs. I don't know if I will care to vote again, because most of them won't be fixed anyway.

Eg. anything that is an enhancement and not a major one gets low priority, and some are not even bothered to be set as WONTFIX, they are just left as is.

Examples: an app manager improvement from 2006, the issue about the camera app not working together with media player and phone, printing support, and more minor stuff.

It is no big deal, but I pity those people for whom these features would be essential.

Business concept for Nokia:
1. Sell phones
2. ??????
3. Profit

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

Not 110% sure if I searched correctly, but this is what I got from Bugzilla advanced search.

Classification: - Maemo Official Applications, Maemo Official Platform
Severity: - Enhancement
Hardware: - N900

492 Enhancements (Out of which 65 Unconfirmed)

17 Enhancements ------(Res-Fixed)
1 Enhancement ---------(Status-Assigned)
4 Enhancements --------(Status-Re-Opened)

36 Enhancements ------(Res-Wont-fix)
90 Enhancements ------(Res-Moved) (To Brainstorm from what I saw in the bug comments)

Brainstorm is good I agree, but I don't see Nokia responding by any significant action(irrespective of any number of votes).

So my thanks go the community members who did pick things up from the Brainstorm & implemented them :)

But yeah coming back to the original topic.
I agree completely with Venemo. Seems like enhancements aren't really a priority to Nokia anymore. The only conclusion I can draw is that's because Maemo resources/focus has to moved to Harmattan/MeeGo.

It is understandable considering the bigger picture and Nokia's need for success in their future software strategy.

Still sad though for current users of the Maemo5 platform :(

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

Duh, that's exactly the current problem.

They profit from step 1, then there's nothing afterward and that's where the problem begins...

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

You should be used to it by now. Hasn't that been the way with every Meamo platform?

Hopefully people will see that and start making Nokia's future software strategy mean something on today's hardware too (and yesterday's, if they're as truly committed to open-source as they insist).

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

with a device exposing bugs and design flaws on a "were they thinking at all?" base and little visible inclination in doing better, what would compel you to buy your next phone from the very same company again?

Re: Business concept for Nokia
 

I think querying with "Hardware" set to "N900" will bring misleading results as there is also much stuff under "All" and requests filed for the N8*0 that were fixed for the N900...
