Nokia dont do a Microsoft/HTC
 

Today it was made official that HTC much hyped and the model HTC HD2 will not get Windows 7 series update and HTC is mum on that.

HTC HD2 clients will be feeling much dejected and anger by this announcement.

Microsoft is too big to get influenced by a HTC.

Many client will not buy MSoft or HTC products due to this.

Nokia dont to a Microsoft on your clients of N900.

The hardware provider is yourself nokia and the software partner and provider is yourself.

Make the N900 complete by making it compatible with Meego.

The ball is in your court, dont behave like a big corporation but please respect the open nature and this platform and the effort of this comunity and the loyal consumers.

anismistry : I totally agree with you...!!!

Nokia :Make the N900 complete by making it compatible with Meego.

Re: Nokia dont do a Microsoft/HTC
 

Different business model.

Microsoft spends their r&d funds on a new mobile OS, then sells license of it to OEMs to let them use the OS on a certain device for a certain number of production units and with that license they include a certain span of support, including (but not limited to) service packs and incremental OS updates.

For any major OS updates, this has to be negotiated separately afaik.

You tried....

Re: Nokia dont do a Microsoft/HTC
 

For Nokia now N900 is a niche product. Nokia risks infuriating the techy bleeding edge with a lack of Meego compatibility but in terms of N900 unit numbers I doubt they feel any real responsibility to the piddly user base. And I mean the form factor of the N900 isn't too bad but it could be improved; if the Meego-based N910? (or other Meego mass market devices) were sleeker, slimmer, with better a keyboard who wouldn't upgrade?

Probably just those who can't afford 600€ on a new device every year :P

Re: Nokia dont do a Microsoft/HTC
 

Actually, I have to grudgingly give Microsoft credit for acknowledging before the device is sold that HTC HD2 won't be upgradeable to Windows Series 7 .

Re: Nokia dont do a Microsoft/HTC
 

They've actually announced that not a single existing Windows Mobile phone is upgradable to Windows Mobile 7, and that apps are not compatible either.
