Ask the Linux fan. They want everybody to switch to Linux. Or ask the Mac fan... they sure as hell want everybody to switch to OS X. The move to monolithic groups controlling damn near everything - whether it's anarchy, full-blown submission, or kowtowing to a new master next week... the want for to be accepted by others is just plain human. With that said, I once thought I'd love to see Nokia produce an Android phone. It would be one of the best built Android phones out there. But now? Not so much. I fear what they'd do to the UI. Or to the Android Market. |

As you may have noticed, user experience is a very subjective thing. If someone feels that the product has failed, your attempts to show how good the device is, are in vain; the product has failed. We all should care, otherwise developing for N900 and for Maemo should be stopped immediately. Either there is no point in developing in anymore since we do not care or, there is no point in developing because Maemo has become as good as it ever can get. |

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
I know this is very open and friendly community. But I'm alredy getting furious when people start bragging about Android on Nokia phones and especially N900. Want an Android? GO GET IT. Lots of devices on the market. Simple as that.

Re: The end of the Nokia Smart phone dream
Hey, wow a lot of answers already to the post. Will be kind of overwhelming to answer and start sub-threads with everyone but here are some key points that I picked up on.
No I don't think the N900 should be an Android device, I really loved the idea of Maemo when it was launched. My argument is its too little too late. Nokia needs to build a new Android device if they want to compete in the smart phone market. A lot of people are saying the N900 isn't for me which in retrospect is probably true. But, I am quite technically proficient but there are times that this phone feel beyond even my abilities. Commercially (Nokia is in the business of seller lots of phones) it doesn't make sense to create a top spec smart phone for a niche audience. I remember the hype when it was launched (which is why I got it) and they will definitely pitching it at the top of the market with the iPhones and the Androids. What is the point of a smart phone that only a tiny few people will use. The economies of scale wont add up. |
