Hmm not entirely getting the point/s you're trying to make.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree/misunderstand one another

I do agree their software dev. has been an utter shambles...
But I do feel they were finally "turning the corner" just as Elop "pulled the plug".
And since that whole change in strategy, everything has been made twice as hard for them.
Their work is almost futile/pointless now....
If I was one of the Nokia Harmattan devs, I would've given up & moved on by now.
So, massive respect to those that have "hung tight".
