I never suggested symbian should have been killed off. I've never supported the move away from Meego. I'm not an apologist for Elop and most certainly not a supporter of WP.
It wasn't Elop but the lazy, monolithic beast that the symbian development group within Nokia that killed symbian off.
Had they pulled their fingers out 4, 3 even 2 years ago and provided the sort of productive up to date releases that have we've seen in the last 12 months, they may have been able to stay competitive.


I've never suggested that these companies are selling them by the bucket load either. It's not exactly a secret that NOBODY is doing well with WP handsets. Product/range diversification breeds brand loyalty and I'm surethe likes of Samsung, LG etc will see creep from their WP handsets across to their other offerings.

As for engaging my mind, well it was, but I slipped it back into neutral when you chose to move away from your original assertions wrt "contractual obligation", pointing to other websites that have also printed the same baseless comments without any evidence, you chose to introduce a new argument.

I'm still waiting for actual evidence of this contract, that you and many others have referred to....

I wasn't trying to single you out, so much as highlight how FUD spreads like herpes, and like herpes, once you have it, it sticks around forever.
