Plenty of fancy acronyms.The articles were not about technical issues, they were about enthusiasm at trade fairs and developer interest. I found it very fascinating to see that trade fair behavior corresponds to general "street level" feeling so well. Frankly I would've expected the Symbian gatherings to be more lively than the descriptions say. The poster even made a point of saying that "he doesn't believe anybody is claiming Symbian will die fast", yet you jumped down his throat for posting pretty interesting articles.

To many users (me included), Symbian is the most boring of these systems. Like the poster said, it doesn't mean that Nokia will stop selling Symbian phones or that Symbian marketshare will plummet in a year. Nobody claimed that. I found the articles highly interesting as they seem to show that developer / Symbian community moods are, in fact, tied to the general "word on the street" moods. It's been years since anybody I know has been truly excited about a Nokia phone they have, the N900 is the first in a long time to generate some sort of a "buzz".

By the way, none of this has absolutely nothing to do with the original topic, but oh well, most of this thread hasn't.
