A very sad day for all Nokia, Symbian, Meamo, QT and Meego-lovers.

This was a very bad move for Nokia - WP7 was in dire straits before this was announced, in a much worse position than symbian or meego. I don't think Nokia and WP7 will sell. The Nokia/Symbian crowd, which make up most of profit of Nokia, like and use symbian, and won't wish to downgrade. The American market will still see Nokia as a foreign and leftfield phone manufacturer, WP7 or not.

It looks like the N900 is the first and last truly open-source phone? Though, as others have said, I'll be looking to android and webos.

What makes me angry is that just one ex-microsoft employee can **** all over several great open-source projects and a great company in one fell sweep. It's like once a microsoft employee, always a microsoft employee.
