Another brick with no support and no apps?

No thanks. Meego just got killed, lets face it.

There will never be a Meego phone (from Nokia). There might be a tablet at some point, but I bet no phone.

Re: Amazing - Elop lays the axe on Symbian, MeeGo and QT

Indeed. Up until today it was android or meego. I guess it's now android or WM7. I still prefer android by far, but am intrigued as to what the nokia/ms alliance may bring, especially as nokia HW hasn't been in question, and froma quick play WM7 is actually pretty nice UI-wise, just somewhat feature limited (apple-esque?)

Did you not notice the stream of people resigning from Nokia after his arrival?

When Ari Jaaski went the writing was plain on the wall...

... funny how many posters here said Ari's departure meant nothing and Meego was fine ...

Bright minds of Nokia (ex employees) + Aava + Intel and other partners who are ready to make their own ecosystem start building up something wonderful.

My fairytale dream is that Anssi Vanjoki uses those millions he has made to buy Aava.

And yes, I'm aware that denial is not a river in Egypt. It's just going to take few days.

Re: Amazing - Elop lays the axe on Symbian, MeeGo and QT

you know wat they say about change?
you do the same, and you will ALWAYS get the same.
So for all you people that are like "meego's doomed :( "... you need to sit and think about why nokia had to make a change. at the rate they were going, they would lose thier place as the #1 phone maker. They made a change, which is exactly wat's required. half of you have never owned a god damn wm7 phone and you're here bad mouthing. you might aswell go to android or apple cause thats wat those fans are like. I thought nokia fans are supposed to be non-judgemental. F***in' hypocrits.

and in case you dont realise, meamo only came out with ONE device since the release of the n900. so even if meego comes out with 1 (like nokia is puting out in the second half of the year), wats wrong with that? and meego will comeout with more than one device.
i gaurentee more than 80% of you who say you'll switch to android, are gona be the first ones drooling and pleading on ur hands and knees for a nokia wen they release meego.

Elop doesn't give a rat's *** about the Nokia userbase. He cares about the shareholders (whoever the hell they are) and reversing Nokia's sliding market share. The old Nokia (of late, anyway) couldn't decide or execute. Moving to WP7 may not be the popular move (it sure as hell isn't around this place), *but* it may actually, you know, materialize, unlike the mythical Step 5.

Edit: who the fcuk censors the word @ss?
