Erm... what deception!? I'm all for discussion; however there are some things that just... well, don't make much sense sometimes.

I swear some folks just type out some inane rhetoric that sounds cool, but it's honestly drivel. What does ads have to do with Nokia possibly working with Microsoft?

From what I see... absolutely nothing.

Let's be honest for a moment. Nokia needs to have deeper enterprise integration. Heck, Evolution does damn near everything that Nokia needed for Maemo... they didn't port it, include it, optimize it, or take parts of it. Modest sucked. I have no kind words for it other than... it "worked".

Mind you, I'm not for Microsoft and Nokia working together - their cultures couldn't be further apart. But as it stands, some things stated in this thread make sense... some just don't.

I'm not picking on you, vkv.raju, you honestly tend to be one of the more sane voices around here. But at the same time, I fear that Nokia needs to do something better than the others. Android isn't enterprise ready; not as well as Blackberry is at least. Apple is starting to learn how to be enterprise ready, but it feels really tacked on.

And the days where the Nokia communicators were the de facto manner to edit docs, connect to an enterprise network, "get stuff done"... that's all somewhat in the past if you're in North America.

If Nokia needs to do anything, it's to take existing abilities, keep their existing build quality, advertise a bit more effectively and above all... finish and support a project for more than a few months.
