Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

Hello guys

I used to own an n900 but got rid of it for various reasons

I posted last year http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=59484 that
nokia should either TRULY open source the n900 or use Android

Well it seems now that microsoft simply HAS to get a large market share of the mobile OS or it is in trouble, deep trouble

I *can* really see M$ buying Nokia, esp with falling share price (anyone else see a connection between the M$ Trojan Horse and Share Price)

This is a double win for microsoft, not only has it a acquired a handset manufacturer but equally important is Nokias patent portfolio and this is where it does, in ,my opinion get scary

And if I remember rightly didnt Nokia buy QT ?? If so think Oracle Java Android.....................looks like another fork to join open office etc

bad times for open source lie ahead...........bad news indeed

I get this gut feeling that Nokia will be bought by M$ to attack android

I guess there is ZERO chance that Nokia will GPL the closed binaries now.................

I'm willing to sell my perfectly sound N900 with Nitroid and 8GB card. How much can i get for it?

Never once it showed any hardware issue.

Just found someone twitter, that Elop is one of tens biggest stockholders at Microsoft.

And we wonder why they go WP7 :mad:

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

apparantly the new CEO of nokia is even worse piece of sh*t compared to the old CEO.

these decisions the last year about maemo, and now also meego, is really disguisting...

Dear Elop,

you're such a a**hole:

I hope you know that such an arrogant behavior will also hurt you sooner or later! There are rules, even in your business.

rest in peace nokia....N900 my last nokia???

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

I absolutely agree with you. Elop did the right thing and I have no doubt that Nokia will use MS for their middle and low end touch phones to safeguard their marketplace they are losing to Android, while developing new top dogs like Meego and its derivatives.

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

Then you have far more faith in Elop's (and thus, Nokia's) independence from Microsoft than I. Not to be too sarcastic but, uh, good luck with that ;)

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

Its my hope. Elop did say that partnership with MS will allow them to differentiate. I think that Elop had to stop the slide in marketshare and he chose the most logical choice. Exchange Symbian for MS while developing new OS

Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 

After viewing the shrinking R&D budgets for OS's and how Symbian disappeared basically... no new OS's will be in Nokia's future unless Microsoft decides on a new OS.
