Nokia had the hardware, had the OS and they blew it for me, personally.
What I meant was see; Nokia had chosen to use an external OS and they had 2 options; WP or Android...They chose WP as they felt this is where they will make more money in the future and NOT because WP is closed-source...

If you read quotes by Elop he has admitted that going down the WP path would give smaller profit margins compared to the in-house OSes which were to a large extent open-source...

So how are they making more money by going closed source? Its not about the openness but the $$$ that made Nokia's decision...

I've never been a fan of the WP decision as I felt the Harmattan path was better but it has been chosen and till the end of the WP-contract its nearly impossible to do anything about it no matter how much we hate Nokia for it...

Will I buy a Nokia after my n9 dies? Well I'm not too sure...After all, its based on my needs and I'll choose something I feel comfortable with but at this point I'm hoping Jolla do something good to convince me...
