I put a link there--everyone else can go ahead and read it and form their own opinion. Nice try at spinning the way it happened, though, but even the others reading the current thread pointed it out. It was a pretty fun re-read. Oh God, I didn't realize how bad it was. Do you need donations or anything? I hope you aren't forced to eat the awful things that grow up from the ground in such a dreadful place. They both ran for the hills! ...Toward which successful OS? Was it Windows Phone? Was it? How comparatively well did the Symbian-dropping companies do that DID adopt Windows Phone versus the ones that went with some other OS other than Windows Phone (you can name any competitor to compare to)? No, the end was written on the press releases and statements that Elop made. Until then, Symbian was doing fine compared to all other competitors, even Android and iPhone until Elop's appalling public blathering about a burning platform, which I'd argue only turned it into a self-fulfilling prophesy rather than an accurate accounting of what, even now, still is far more popular platform than Windows Phone has proven itself to be. You keep telling everyone else they're not getting it but it's pretty clear you're in a severe minority arguing for a platform of severe minority.
