MeeGo will be turned into an "experimental" OS (just like maemo was...)

Symbian needed to go sooner or later.
I just wonder who's more hated. Muburak or Elop right now.
I predict a riot.

I actually like the idea of nokia and ms. Nokia still make the best hardware for me.Their build quality is great too
Lets not forget samsung take ages to release updates - e.g all the galaxy range ( and yes i own a tab and a galaxy s)
sony ericsson - look at the x10 and others, no 2.2 for them at all and no xda devs port so far.
lg - piss poor in general.
htc are ok but still make hardware which is questionable in terms of durability - screen issues and the old htc tytn 2/ nearly all htc phones video driver problem for which i have not forgiven them ( i owned a tytn2).
the only other option is th eiphone and ill be lloking closely at the iphone 5 but id rather a nokia build with wp7. ultimatley we all more or less started with win mo anyway so its just continuing the trend.
theres no need for anyone to abandon ship unless you think for some reason the grass is greener on the other side.
still happy with my n900.
Guess the community supported patches etc are looking pretty damn good now eh

This sucks.
I'll ignore nokia for a couple years, probably won't visit this forum anymore (whats the point? lol)
I've started developing my android app and I've installed android on my old phone thanks to the XDA devel guys.
Good times.

All times are GMT. The time now is 10:39.
- continue with Symbian. With the rate of market share loss it it would be single digits marketshare in 4 years
- focus on Meego. Chances are, the team on meego are the same team on Maemo. The team did not have the experience/prosessionalism to produce a finished/polished produce for mass market.
- If Meego failed (unpolished produce, 3rd party devs not adopting it) the company would be in dire dire trouble because of Symbian adoption rates
- go with Android, Google would probably not provide any special support.. treating them the same as motorola,HTC etc
If the Maemo team had taken the effort to produce a polished N900, i think the decision to go full bore with Meego would have been a no brainer.
