Btw, that's not saying that Nokia doesn't have the right engineering talent. The crappiest outcome is probably because the right people are not in the right place. It happens quite often (in big organisations) actually!
What I heard of is that N900/N800 was developed by small team of "geeks" inside Nokia and the Symbian guys "laughted" at them. So fact is that they lacked engineers working on Maemo. That probadly the reason the phonestack sucks on N900 for example :-(

I guess many old Symbian developers(osr as some hear wanna say it "dinosaurs" dont wanna see changes: "symbian is my baby" syndrome. Same probadly goes for us users who prefer Linux/Windows whatever

But now Nokia must change and hopefully some of the symbian people has changed mind or get kicked, and isn't that stupid and realise that Meeego is a MUST on highend devices!

That doesnt mean Symbian get killed, Symbian 3 is still good in mid/lowend and probadly more powersave than Meego atm..

But the rest of the symbian(v1,S40 whatever crap) versions will probadly die soon...

Atleast what I hope Elop will say 11 february...
