The problem with Nokia is not software or hardware....i don't care what OS they're bringing out. It don't matter if they have the slickest OS, what ultimately matter is support and advertisement. Let the world know what you have and they're horrible at that. When Nokia N900 came out, nobody really know what the hell it is. Now compare that to Android, Google advertise the hell out of their product before it even came out...nobody really know what Droid is, but after seeing ads almost daily on TV, everybody is hyped up for the product. This is why Androids has become popular today, they hyped up the product by advertise the hell out of it on TV. On the other hand, Nokia is gathering around doing a few shows to promote N900? TERRIBLE marketing!!! So i don't see Nokia going anywhere soon.

Human being likes attractive/beautiful stuff by nature. But how many of Nokia phones in the market nowaday have good appearance ? There may be more sales of N900 if it is half as thick and have a larger yet ideal screen size.
Stop chasing, Nokia. And start creating.

You mean something like this which was cranked out by one dude in under a month using meego.

There is NOTHING else like that ui in the wild right now.

Calling someone on their trolling is not trolling. It's moderating.

Then it would help to be that specific in the first place.

On that note, the desktop is already losing ground. Mobile is overtaking it. Android's success shows that Linux can actually have a better shot than purely proprietary alternatives.

There are many figures floating around, some even giving Linux a higher share than OSX, but ultimately any conversation about "market share" is misguided. Linux simply doesn't play that game, there's no single corporation behind it and it doesn't need to produce good quarterly results to survive. In other words, it cannot fail :-)

Probably for some very good reason. Until that UI can be controlled by thought then it would be a nightmare to navigate and use. It gives me a headache just looking at it.

I object to this statement. Nokia is better at pushing hardware features noone else have yet gotten to. One of the reasons I am not currently jumping ships, is because of the Android hardware.

The biggest problem for nokia is that a lot of stuff clearly just isn't finished or in a transitional state. Some examples:

-The N8 ships with an old version of Qt (no QML and no OpenGL)
-the UI of Symbian^3 is still very much menu based (like original symbian)
-the N9 is delayed to next year
-N9 will be based on the older maemo base (renamed MeeGo)
-the Nokia Qt SDK on Linux doesn't support Symbian yet
-the Nokia Qt SDK is still Qt 4.6 based ( no QML etc.)
-the Nokia supported PySide Qt binding are still in beta

Getting a new CEO with software experience seems a good thing since these are software development related. Will it be better for Nokia to abandon the software development and switch to google or microsoft software? Difficult to say, also becaus a lot of stuff isn't finished. But since Nokia does make money they can effort to finish the current plans and evaluate afterwards. If it isn't successful then they can still switch strategy.

Long on hyperbole and speculation and short on facts.

So? Android and iOS fanbois would say the same of maemo/meego and of each other.

Would've been better if it sounds like it comes from an objective person. Putting a fanboy as the mouthpiece IMHO lowers the credibility.
