So why did you even bother asking if I've ever used a Lumia 900 or 800, if you yourself haven't even used an Android device?



...And a couple of Elop/Microsoft apologists.



I hear you.. I agree.. but seriously, they're proving how dead Maemo, MeeGo and Nokia in general really are by simply making THIS topic part of the busiest thread on the site. I mean, really.. is there anywhere else to go when Nokia's led us into a dead end? There isn't much else to develop or look forward to. Right?

We're on a sinking ship. While most people have already jumped ship and forgotten about TMO, there's some folks sticking around.. some playing their music, others watching horrifically, and a couple of them are denying that the ship is sinking but that it's instead improving its chances of floating by sinking faster.

Who cares what you want. The company wants to make what the common denominator desires. They clearly desire a closed system. When Nokia alwas wealthy they tossed few hack able phones your way. They have no money to toss free bones, and they clearly need a software partner. Maybe Jolla will prove me wrong, and I would like them to prove me wrong, but if this is the same team that brought on the market imperfect Maemo 5 and Harmattan, I don't hold much hope.
The OS needs to be as smooth as ios or WP. None of the nokia devices had it. There is no room for imperfection in today's markets as the bar has been set high. Nokia hardware is great but software inferior, hence WP. Sales will depend on the common man and woman and not on the extremes from the mean. lumia just started selling since the beginning of the year. We will know in 18 months where they stand.
