To further undergrid your point that it is really all Microsoft's dirty tactics to destroy a free software friendly Nokia, take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb_beDIaa1w This was 4 years ago, when Microsoft "just began". Their fight against "us" is now at a whole new level... By the way, I suspect that this was started way earlier than with Elop. There must have been some pressure on the Nokia board by Microsoft starting a long time ago to make this all happen. |
Re: Nokia will probably not survive 2012 :-(
Hi there.
I have so many questions for you. But let's just start at point number one. Can you provide some backup to this 'fact': (links or urls are preferable) Quote:

"brainwashed" I think means:
Doesn't it seem logical, that under these conditions, every employee gets a different kind of world view than a free software hacker? |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
I have found one link for the "All Microsoft profits come from Windows and Office" fact:

Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
Can anyone show me anywhere, where it is proven that Nokia had some kind of contract with Intel or any other group associated with Meego to release a Meego phone?
This keeps getting stated as fact but i'm yet to see anything to back it up. Would love to see something solid to support this as opposed to opinion and fud |

However, 3rd party reports do say contractual obligation but don't exactly back it up. |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
Aaah. The old "3rd party report"....
I took the unusual step of spending time exchanging emails with the editor of a web based consumer site in an attempt to correct some of inaccuracies in a piece they did about the N9 and Meego. The basis for the "facts" they included were from 3rd party reports via Google.... nothing as substantial as press releases that actually came from Nokia.... |

the more I think about the wp7 decision the more I'm pissed about it. Wp7 is nowhere near a complete OS and lacks critical features. How much worse could meego be? Don't get it. Then look at the r&d nokia spends on Meego, its definitely not the world. |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
OMG and HA-HA. If Nokia drops MeeGo and stucks with WP7 it will be gigantic mistake.
I found these from Twitter just minute ago (in addition to Engadget praising etc) - Cult of Mac (yeah, cult of mac): http://www.cultofmac.com/things-to-a...opinion/102107 (read commentary also) - http://37signals.com/svn/posts/2959-...-is-all-i-need And finally: Luovanto tweeted that 38% of visitors at swipe.nokia.com comes from United States. Elop: It's o'**** moment NOW! OH ****! OH ****! and 10000x OMG.:D:D:D |

- China (population) - Vietnam (population) - Russia (population) - Australia - Austria - Finland - Sweden - Switzerland - Portugal - Slovenia The surprising thing is that some of the countries were missed out: - US - UK - France - Germany - ... But there are some unusual countries where average monthly income is well bellow the suspected price tag: - Romania - Bulgaria - Serbia - Croatia - ... Except for Romania (~20m), all of the later are countries are really small markets. Combined with the low average income this makes it poor place to promote high-price-tag devices. Even today the S40 is actually ruling those markets. Bare in mind that in most of these countries support is really rudimentary. My guess is that legal conditions allow Nokia to experiment there with less of legal liabilities. What do you make of this country list? |

Btw: I`ve just realized that the N900 is obviously not available any longer, neither in the Nokia online shop nor through Skype (http://shop.skype.com/intl/de/phones/). Hopefully, Skype will offer the N9 as well. However, since Skype belongs to Microsoft now, I rather doubt that. |

That list looks pretty crappy, though. The "Switzerlang" typo has been there for almost a week uncorrected. |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
By the way, does anybody here remeber the legendary Palm Foleo?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Foleo It was a Linux based netbook that was ready to hit the stores in 2007, just before the netbook boom began. The project was abandoned by Palm last minute - and we all know what happend to Palm later - they completely missed the Netbook boom and eventually went into bancrypty. For me it seems obvious that Nokia has choosen the same direction. |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
Elop has been quiet since Friday. Is it a good sign?
Or has he made any new statements? |

It seems all development activities are gradually moved out of Nokia. What will remain? Design studio?

N950 on ebay
Does anybody know what to think about this?
http://www.gomonews.com/ebayer-comes...go-developers/ The seller claims to be a developer who could get his hands on the N950 devices. Given the fact there are loads of N950 phones available which were initially produced for pubilc release but later abandoned in favor of the N9, this could on the one hand be true. However, This guy already sold more than 20 phones, which I find to be quite a large number of devices for a single developer. I´d therefore guess it´s a fake auction... what would you think? Would be really nice if it was true, though. |

Ballmer admits win 7 phone is not a success so far. Windows is not on fire. I only see some smoke. Don't think we will see any fire. |

If indeed there are any surplus N950's I'm sure they'll pop up through known and reputable channels before long. I wouldn't buy anything from anyone until they had a demonstrable history of selling that product. |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire

Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
well that its , even ballmer admits it.
wp7 sales are terrible. nokia is in deep ****, ballmer probably expect nokia to carry wp7 by brand name |
Re: Microsoft, your platform is on fire
And that's who Elop chose to partner with.
Yeah. Makes a lot of sense. |
