Personally I predict Microsoft WPanything is not going to grow into an ecosystem of any consequence.

This is why I am right and you sir, are wrong. I see things as they are, you see things as you would like them to be. The crash of Symbian is the biggest crash of any OS. It crashed because Nokia didn't manage to make it competitive in the new world of easy going touch screen smartphones.

Maemo/Meego crashed because it had no ecosystem backup or direction even though the concept is excellent. It could have survived as a niche, but even Jolla has got this megalomaniac world market leader wannabe bug in it's veins. So Jolla will also crash and burn.

Having said that, I think I actually will get myself an 808. The last pure enthusiast phone left today.
