Re: Nokia employees protest due to massive layoff

I find it interesting that Elop is planning to lay off the "on-the-ground" people instead of chopping off the incompetent management that is killing Nokia.

It's an unbridled disaster and I'm...

Re: MeeGo is not dead! (Or, put your money where your mouth is)

Depends on the price to be honest and if you're one of those techie hacker types. At this point my next phone will be an Android, I think. Love the N900 mind you but it's too niche for most people.

Re: breaking news:nokia partners with microsoft

Actually, I think Nokia is way too bloated and has too much dead weight; why else do you think it takes them an eternity to release anything? They have to get approval from 50 different people to...

Re: After Nokia/WP7, what will you buy next?

They're not simply adding an OS, they're putting Meego on the backburner before it's even out and killing off Symbian (a good thing). At least they're brave enough to admit they will not be...

Re: Poll: Would you buy a phone running WP7?

Never. RIP Nokia. I'm waiting for Microsoft to buy up Nokia at this point.

Re: Steve Elop's "burning platform" memo

Again, the entire situation around Nokia is pretty...

Seems interesting, how hard would it be to compile this plug-in for MicroB?

Re: Elop just said in Nokia results conference: "it's clear that first Meego device is 2011 event".

I can still hope that Symbian will cease to exist. Sucks that people had to be let go but if you have that many people working on it and it's still a mess.... then it's time to fire some people. :D

Re: This is why Nokia is in the mess it is and us with it

Their main problem is still making too many phones, and releasing overpriced crap like the N97. The N900 has been a lot better but they already gave up supporting it fully (now you gotta pay another...

Re: New N8 games (in QT??)

The N8 has some slow FPS on some of those games. Need for Speed 3D or whatever is particularly bad.

Re: N900 getting Meego in end of october?

The chance of Nokia delivering on any shipping promise is equal to the probability that pig spontaneously grow wings and fly.
