I don't think this decision is very rational, it seems Nokia is very much afraid of google.

I mean we'll see WP7 devices by the end of the year. I cannot believe that the meego people would not have been able to produce a superb OS by then. Including a good Ovi Maps implementation and lots of Qt apps. I mean android is not super-polished or perfect, nevertheless it sells.

To the end user Nokia's WP7 phones will not be different from others.
I mean the Ovi brand was not big, but it was developing, maybe not in the US, but in other places.

It really does not make much sense to me.
