2) If they are successful with WP7 i sure like to see them go full into MeeGo development and not to forget the wishes of exsisting customers because without that there stakeholders lose out and so do we.
1) I agree that symbian should have been dropped earlier. I would like to have had another OS on my N8 - but there where no alternative. Nokia will not go to Android and which other OS should have been implemented? We may like the Maemo, but it is not mainstream enough and WP7 wasn't ready - Windows 6.5 well have anyone tried it? I had an HTC with it as business phone and honestly my N95 was used 99% of the time...

Maybe Nokia didn't put more focus on Meego because they could see where symbian was heading - symbian Anna and Belle will actually be ok - still not fancy but much more smooth and with better browser = more competitive and maybe even an alternative to iOS and Android.
However the development of Anna and Belle took forever which made N8, C7 ect a mid-end product - at best.

2) the stakeholders opinion with Nokia depends on WP7 devices - Meego doesn't matter (unfortunately)
