You face bankruptcy and want to continue paying millions for an ~eternity~ in the accelerated 21st century product lifecycles to prop up the dead guy from Weekend at Bernie’s? Not good. End-of-life time.



2) You don’t have time or the strength to go head-to-head with iStore or google-social networking. It is time for judo and that judo move is called android-under-maemo/meego. Deliver phones that do *more* than any android phone simply by adding the android execution environment to linux – whatever can ship today:

You throw around the word ‘agile’ without understanding what it means. Definitely need some brains in that outfit – just not yours.
Lifespan of five years for symbian may sound dumb but fact is not all people want smartphones or similar "complicated phones". Old people just want to have a very siomple phone. Thats where symbian40 still is valid.

and in european people still using symbian phones without dislike it ... My guess is that E7 can success or could until idiot elop scared them away by saying symbian is dead.
