Maemo is as open source as Android - not 100% in either case.

And to add, the argument about being open source doesn't exactly help Nokia's position at this moment. At best, it's a petty discussion that derails the main conversation that people should be having... what can Nokia do to turn things around.

Fanboys will say Maemo. It never sold in millions upon millions of devices - otherwise this forum would be bigger and a **** load more active. Think XDA.

Android lovers will say that Android should have been an option. I disagree. They would have been an "android also" developer. HTC isn't exactly setting the world afire with their sales.

Bada lovers will have to hush up. Bada's dead basically.

Tizen lovers... well, asking for patience in this part of the game isn't exactly what's recommended.

WP7 lovers... you're also asking for patience for WP8. Elop's had more than a year, this turn of events are seriously bad for Nokia, nothing is looking good for them. They sold 1 million Lumia 900's you say? They used to sell 5 million N95's at their heyday, more than that on other devices.

Meltemi? Symbian rebooted? All of that requires patience. Nothing immediate can save them. Nothing that we know about.

And sorry... open source immediately won't save them. We've never gotten everything fully open from Nokia.
