Do you realise that using patents as a reason for closeness is the dumbest argument that can be made?

Unless, of course, the claim is that Nokia try to hide which patents they use from the patent owners.

I dont know about the wifi/bt driver but maybe those driver is not open sourced.

So stop blame Nokia for everything! This is how bussiness work we will NEVER see fully open sourced drivers and so on. Not even Meego Hardware will have fully open sourced drivers etc...
If you don't know, why do you feel such a strong urge to participate in this thread? What is the relevance of drivers to this thread?

Phone application is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

Contacts application is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

SMS application is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

Network management system is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

cherry trojan is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

Map application is owned by Nokia - no third party to blame - close.

Etc. etc. etc.

I hope you know more now.
