I can! You see, if Nokia kept trying to make MeeGo there was never going to be MeeGo because before long there wouldn't be a Nokia. Now that there's no more MeeGo there's still a Nokia which means when there's really a market for MeeGo there may yet still be a MeeGo. Easy to follow?

It's like loving a book trilogy and hearing they're going to make movies out of it. The director hired for the first film is terrible and the leaked copy of the initial screenplay is even worse. In that case you hope the movie doesn't get made. If it gets made in its current state it will fail and the 2nd and 3rd movies will never get made. If the first movie doesn't get made, there's a chance someone else will eventually buy the rights and they'll make better writing and directing choices and all three movies will get made. MeeGo is the hastily written and not really finished screenplay that needs about seven more re-writes.

We had to destroy MeeGo in order to save it. A half-baked MeeGo phone will be the sure death of MeeGo. MeeGo being released when its done can only be good for MeeGo. Waiting around doing nothing while MeeGo is finished would be the death of Nokia and MeeGo, so they needed WP7.

That paragraph needs to be put in small print in the banner for this website.
