Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

They just bought another OS today, that's right another OS.

I think we need to start a kitty for psychiatric services for Nokia's management. They obviously have no idea what direction they are going in.

As much as I hate to say it they really should have just went with android, it could have been one single platform for all their phones. In the US we have seen $50 unsubsidized android phones, so it could have easily spanned from flagship to feature phone.

Then maybe their so called pet project (maemo/meego) development could have continued.

WTF I MEAN WTF can they just wake the **** up and work with android.

Looks like some of the basic Java/Symbianism OS's that you would see on the Chinese Clone phones

Why would buy this, is it all apart of plan for global domination? ;)

How many OSes can a manufacturer have??

Not enough, clearly!

Happy Friday everyone :)

I got a feeling Nokia bought it for some element on it that it adds to S40 or meltemi.
Would make no sense to use it as it is.... i hope.


I hope not and thankfully neither are they going to. Just pick one you like from the +100 manufacturers making Android phones already.

- S30
- S40
- Symbian S60
- Symbian^3
- Maemo
- MeeGo
- Windows Phone
- Meltemi
- Some New OS

They just ditched the great OS's (Maemo/MeeGo/Symbian) and now they just bought another OS...

Seriously?... wtf?

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

I thinik I can see Nokias plan to gain their their place in the mobile OS world.

Step 1: Ditch the OSes you have been working for years and spent billions on

Step 2: Pick up random OSes noone likes or knows (WPhail and random norwigian OS)

Step 3: ????

Step 4: Profit

Sounds like a good plan

It's not uncommon for companies to buy crap to prevent competition. They probably won't do anything with it and bought it to kill it for some reason.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

that seems to be their forte.

On another note I learned that they no longer control symbian, they farmed the management out to accenture?!?
