I think Lumiaman called Nokia Symbian/Meego users Taliban. Not sure where it came from, I may be wrong but I think it may have arisen from some racist undertone and the fact that Symbian/meego Nokia users are multicultural and from all over the world. He seems to have a problem with that. I think this was the original post from him that mentioned anything outside the US as Taliban.

It remains to be seen how well is Lumia 900 doing in US. If it truly exceeds the expectations, then WP8, with upgrades that will hopefully make it rival the other OSs, has a good chance of being a viable third competitior in this arena. If not, NOKIA will become a Taliban phone company, and that is it. The Meego and Maemo apologizers are few. The market showed that these devices are no good at making money.

I think that the Taliban on these boards are overtly negative. NOKIA is a solid company that has a solid roadmap to success. It is trying hard to enter into the US market, and LUMIA 900 is the best device to do it. Instead of supporting it, the Taliban here are biting the hand that feeds them. Who supports this website? Who gave you Linux devices to play with? Be happy and root for the success of MS-NOKIA.
