It's obvious that Nokia really doesn't have anything for me in the future, and the only reason I visit this place is because I still have my N900, although I'm probably going to give it away and dive all the way to Android. Last week there were published some beautiful Android phones with 4.3" screens and fast processors. Especially the LG Optimus 3D with dual-core processor, 3d-screen and 3d-camera with dual lenses seems nice
At the moment I have my puny little ZTE Blade Android-phone, but I want something better.

He put his money where his mouth is - I'd be more concerned if he didn't. By the sound of it, he did it after the deal was announced, which is quite legitimate.

Bollocks. If it could have, it would have provided something that we could use on the n900. It didn't, it won't, and it can't.
I don't understand psychopaths either - doesn't mean I give them the benefit of the doubt and let them carry on doing what makes sense to them.

This was my next (or second next?) post on it:
"Right. The 'trojan horse' term isn't helping proceedings at all, and we don't need any term to acknowledge that Elop has just chased the money. Whether that's being a TH to MS or just offering Nokia to the highest bidder is irrelevant, the end result (or initial goal) is hardly too different."
In any case, your posts were logical, but logical answers? I'm not so sure. From my own humble perspective, here's what would have been the best thing to do:
1) Continue Symbian. The N8 alone sold 5million handsets in its first 2 months, there IS demand for this OS and it's what keeps Nokia afloat.
2) Continue developing MeeGo.
3) Join MS with WP7 so that top-end devices can come out pretty quick, apps already exist, Nokia can hit the North American market etc etc all the reasons Elop gave for the merge.
4) When MeeGo is ready, release it.
This strategy is multi-purpose. Firstly, it keeps the huge userbase in Asia who use Symbian. Whether the OS gets phased out in a year's time or not is irrelevant, keep it going until you put something else on the market. This is especially important considering most of Nokia's earnings are from feature phones, not smartphones. Secondly, it still has 'live' OSs on the market. Thirdly, they have two high-end OSs on the market by this time next year. Destroying existing OSs on the market and putting everything into an unproven one is not sensible.

It already is a mobile OS - it works on various devices, including the N900. Now, how much is it feature complete, how consistent and sexy is its UI/UX and so on, is a whole different story...
You can use it on the N900...
In all honesty, I'm pretty much sure that you (or some manager for that matter) don't understand either quantum physics or genetic engeneering, does that mean we should close CERN or various genetic labs across the little rock we call the Earth? After all why would you give those guys the benefit of the doubt when you can't make any sense out of it?
Just because your highness doesn't understand something it doesn't mean it's BS, it just means - you don't understand it.
I'm not saying that Nokia should've put all their eggs in the MeeGo basket and/or gamble their future on it, but your 'arguments' and your uninformed opinion is as valid as of those people that claim the exact opposite -_-

Given that half of the drivel are categorically either baseless claims, continued MS (aptly labeled M$) nerd drama or a dislike of Ballmer (he does come off as trustworthy as an used car salesman), you will have a hard time finding arguments for or against this new direction beyond the aforesaid reasons.
That's, of course, not 100% true, but common sense is giving way to conspiracy theory and MS hate for some reason.
I've officially taken a "wait and see" stance. Despite that, I've also stated that I'll buy a Nokia WP7 phone if it were to happen. Now I have to buy one...
