I guess what it comes down to is, out of the whole market, Nokia is the only company with a record of being able and willing to deliver the mobile devices that most meets our needs and wants (why else would we be here?). As it stands today, if Nokia is no longer willing to do that, there aren't really any viable alternatives. Frankly, as sad as it sounds, I'm having trouble coping with the idea of a mobile future where there isn't a single manufacturer seeking to meet my needs as a consumer. I've invested nearly 6 years of my time and energy into the Nokia open source endeavor once called Maemo and seeing it tossed aside for MeeGo was hard enough, but now seeing all hope of a friendly open source future in mobile technology now set back by years (or destroyed) . . . well, it hurts. It's only logical that people would seek explain the how and the why of such a world-shaking decision. It wouldn't be so bad if we had choices, but, without Nokia, we really don't.
