As said repeatedly, the Maemo SW team is growing and for what I see there are no intentions for cut-off's (but yes, global economy can prove this wrong tomorrow and the same could apply to all your jobs).

texrat has a strong emotional link to Maemo but his current role is not linked, being in another unit, function, location and etc.

texrat, I'm really sorry to hear your news today.

One possibility is that you are a short term victim of a general rule but will recover (soon?) when finding out the exceptions. At the end Nokia as a whole keeps having a stable workforce, if not growing. You have been promoted in your role, which means that the company thinks you're a good employee. Now macro decisions have affected this, but you keep your chances in the micro moves since Nokia is keeping buildings and operations in the city you currently work.
