Official statement? No, these are just facts. Nokia licenses the information/SDKs/etc from TI, they don't have the power to open up the information themselves.

Again, Nokia has very strong relations with TI and uses their OMAP chips in a lot of their phones. They know the hardware, and they get it for cheap. It would be stupid for them to forgo what they know and have access to to provide an open platform for a few thousand geeks.

Remember, at the end of the day, Nokia is a business, and the hardline OSS-mentality doesn't move units.

I have never applied for nor received a discount code for any Nokia device. The reason I'm a fan has everything to with the product Nokia has delivered and nothing to do with the bribes you think I've received.

Well, Full Disclosure, they're sending me a t-shirt for the time I've invested in bugzilla.
