I was thinking Symbian, but yeah, the N900 applies as well.

The only way Elop's announcement could have been be palatable was if he had a WP7 Nokia phone on his hand when he did, with all the features current Symbian phones had.

Now what's gonna happen is that the MeeGo phone is going to be released before, and be more capable. The irony!

Then in the long term, this is risky (and risk has to be paid by lower share price) because will Microsoft succed in being a leader in this market? And another risk is the fact that profitability is expected to be down as the OS is no longer Nokia but a royalty to Microsoft.

What Nokia gain is still unclear. So the market is pricing down the company. It will be even worst if S&P is pushing down the note.

Did you short Nokia ? If not, why not, since it was so ''obvious''

"RBS downgraded shares of Nokia (NYSE: NOK) all the way from Buy to Sell this morning."

Currently Nokia dropped back to:
Feb/22/2011
8.87
-0.32 (-3.48%)
After the downgrade warning.

With nothing to show yet from this strategic partnership the decline will continue.

Well I never like to see a company go bankrupt I would rather see a company become stable and remain in play giving consumers more options, this goes for Nokia as well.

Unfortunately I don't see Nokia sticking around long due to the reasons you mentioned. Nokia seems to suffer from corporate ADD and can't seem to stick with a scalable track for more then 3 years at a time which is why they have been blundering around the last 4+ years, but at least they were staying in the same ballpark. The MS deal is just so far off track and due to the way they handled it I don't see them being able to recover from this maneuver if\when it fails.

Iīm not surprised.

Frankly I just hope they disappear with their WP, and that someone else will arrive with the OS offering that polishing the N900 Maemo 5 couldīve given.

Maemo 5 is a little rough on the edges, but itīs still just so awesome, and so nice to be able to tinker with it. Iīm not a FOSS fanatic by any means, and am even a little suspicious of the evangelists, but this compartmentalising of data on WP and iOS is just stupid.

I donīt like invasive and excessive "look-good-but-useless" measures done in the name of "safety" or "security". That goes for both TSA/air travel charade and the kind that doesnīt allow you to save a PDF down in the web browser and open it in the PDF reader.

Hardware wise I wasnīt all that impressed with the N900, this especially has to do with the camera. From a available 3rd party software perspective, Iīve been disappointed. Well even from a Ovi Maps perspective Iīve been disappointed...

But Maemo 5 itself is nice and makes the N900 worth using and keeping.
