Reading through this thread was actually rather interesting.

I'm obviously disappointed and wanted to see a Nokia Meego phone, I've half jumped on the Android bandwagon (still use my N900, but have a galaxy tab as well) and I've been tossing up between waiting for the the n9(-00/-01/whatever) and moving to an Android smartphone (This made the decision a whole lot easier.)

However does the decision really surprise anyone? Symbian has no future. Trying to improve Symbian is kinda like having a holocaust themed amusement park, wondering why nobody is coming through the gates, and saying "maybe we need to build bigger rides..".
There is too much history and negative press to ever get people interested again except for maybe the fanatics.

With Meego, Elop has probably gotten considerable 1 on 1 time with the device Nokia had planned, we haven't even really seen it yet... so to the people saying "whyyy????? " ....because obviously in the state it was in the device was crap (not competitive) and releasing another N97 is only going to send Nokia further down the toilet.

So I guess rather than wishing the N9 was released, I wish the N9 was good enough to be released...

Oh well... Android here I come
