Its stock is still being hammered and downgraded by analysts on Symbian concern.

I think there is a real possibility that if the stock drops another 30% from here, Nokia will be forced to dump symbian and fast track Meego or even buy palm or even Android. No matter what Symbian fan-boys think, the shareholders will force the managements hand.

The thing is that Symbian that Nokia bought couple of years ago is now Symbian Foundation that got companies like Samsung, SE and Nokia. All of them making phones for S^3 and is more connected to Nokia future than MeeGo. It's part of the QT future of Nokia that will be first fulfilled by Harmattan/MeeGo in Q4 and Symbian^4 in Q1 2011.

S40 wont cut it on the mid and low end anymore because of Samsungs Bada. Remember that Symbians max priced devices for next year is 450 euros and is meant for low and mid end.
It's not about MeeGo vs Symbian. It's Symbian taking S40 place and MeeGo going for high end.

Trust me it's not first time i hear these analysts that know about 10% of what people here know as how these OS's really are connected to Nokia core. Buying WebOS would be throwing all the Trolltech and Symbian buying away and starting from start when non of the plans have not even seen yet. It wont happen, trust me.
