Re: Goodbye Meego, goodbye Nokia
 
How can you say that canabal? Bill Gates would laugh at you and as for Nokia, well at least someone got sense to push them in this direction, i would if it was my company thats for sure because it has no choice but to drag them out of the pit and into salvation but yes i agree with your remarks because upto now no device manufacturer can get even close to the numbers Nokia push out, so the malgamation of these 2 has to be 100% positive.

Yes they screwed up big time with the N900 but still you got to remember here that we do own one and still need it to perform to our needs.

IF you do not own a Nokia device then why are you on this forum? (that goes to everyone on here).

As someone who incessantly extols the pleasures of "partnering" with MS (yeah, studying contemporary history is overrated... :rolleyes:)

Could you kindly elaborate on your absolute guarantee that Nokia will bounce back!!?? Like, in what kind of disguise might that be??

Because while I can certainly see Nokia ending up with a very different form after MS-Elop's play has played itself out, I can't even at my most charitable see it as "bouncing back"!

It actually answers itself looking at history ! can you see Bill Gates going bankrupt? i can see Nokia going that way if they dont do something radical.

In life if you want to get somewhere you get involved with someone going up the ladder not down, so now look at Microsoft and as much as people hate them they certainly never dwain !.

Put aside all feelings and look at this meger for what it is and the very fact of who is actually merging together !.
Me thinks you better read the news frequently and see just what happens.

I think there may have been an amusing US/UK communication gap here. Abil_UK has suddenly started talking about people here who don't own Nokia products. I think most people here DO own Nokia products or have owned them or have considered owning them, but...

When earlier in the thread someone said they were glad they had sold all their Nokia stock, I think one person from the UK thought he was talking about having sold his Nokia products. No! He was referring to stock as in stock market.

Well, it's 4 a.m. here in Calif, i may be wrong...

- rant mode on -
BTW for everyone finding this thread a bit "too much", consider the fact that we are all consumers voicing (mostly...) our disapproval of Nokia's latest strategy change. Consumers buy devices. Without consumers no devices. Even better: we are early adopters, investing relatively much money in our devices - for any leading brand we are pretty important as we can 'set the tone'. How would you think Apple got big ? Thus: it is important to let our voices get heard here, even though it is 'just a phone', it is also something we like to spend our money on == boosts the economy. When we go look for other brands, Nokia head office should start to worry.

Too little too late for Nokia I feel. Although this is a better way forward than helping to produce a mobile operating system then not developing it, I think Google have too much of a head start on Microsoft.

The sooner I get rid of this phone the better. I look forward to a phone which doesn't supply updates to the Flashlight on a weekly basis.

Maybe you should choose your words more carefully then Geneven ... no love lost between you and i thats for sure so i think we can agree to diasagree but as you well know on this forum i am not always the easiest charactor to get along with as i speak my mind in a realistic way... unlike some aye !.

I have loved my n900 and will continue to love it, as a backup device, but I am buying a nexus S tomorrow.

Damn. Well I wouldn't care if there were many GNU Linux phones out there. But this isn't the case. You can forget about Android. So what now? I have read about a new OpenMoko smartphone.
I just hope we will see more GNU Linux smartphones in the future.
