I'd say Nokia feels that this is where their bottom line lies, at least for the high end.
Lol, I didn't know they're such fanbois themselves...

Seriously though... yeah, I guess NIH seems to run quite thick in their decisions.

I can see the long term (hugeeee) benefit of having maemo/MeeGo executed successfully and also the strategic value if they can help Intel realize a viable alternative mobile platform (to ARM). But those two... they seem too distant and moving so very slowly while the competitors are gaining much steam.
