Bingo. And that's not until mid-2012 by all guesstimates. I just know that Nokia doesn't have until then to do or release anything. A steady 20%+ drop in share in just one year or so.

Windows 8 + WP7 (or WP8) + Unified UX might be a blockbuster in quite a few areas. It'll be convenient to marry all of that together - and plus... Win8 finally is when Microsoft will start dropping legacy support and start looking only forward.

I can't wait personally for that.

Nokia cannot keep waiting. February 2010, they "went" with MeeGo. February 2011, they "dropped" MeeGo. June/July 2011, they soft-announce the Nokia N9. August 2011, the N9 isn't out yet nor do they have dates for bigger markets - no Germany, no France, no England (not directly), no USA, no Canada... not yet. But Kazakhstan, South Africa and Austria all have dates... wtf.

Anyway, let's see. I just don't like this whole fight from a hole strategy.
