The sales figures suggest the 'masses' don't find WP7 very 'attractive' at all.

Despite NOKIA loading WP7 on by far the best looking hardware currently available on the market (imo) it just wont sell.

The problem's clearly the software, it doesn't matter which manufacturer's tried it WP7 has failed to sell in any quantity.

Hell, even putting Series 40 with the swipe UI on these things would be a big step forward, at least we'd have full bluetooth connectivity, USB MS, etc...

Just a reminder for the R&D discussion: the partnership with Microsoft is an important part of the Nokia strategy but there is more. See http://www.nokia.com/global/about-no...t-us/about-us/

Good stuff, but totally lost it here...

"And MeeGo?

To make sure we get ahead of the game on industry innovation evolution, our MeeGo efforts will transition into an ongoing long-term market exploration of the next generation of devices, platforms and user experiences.

It's nothing else than the Nokia Strategy as explained after feb11: Nokia Windows Phone, Next Billion, Future Disruptions.

From the very same page (and stated as a key goal):

Regaining leadership in the smartphone space

To help us achieve our mission, Nokia has formed a strategic partnership with Microsoft that will, we hope, see us regain lost ground in the smartphone market. Together, we intend to build a global ecosystem that surpasses anything currently in existence. The Nokia-Microsoft ecosystem will deliver differentiated and innovative products with unrivalled scale in terms of product breadth, geographical reach and brand identity.
So, they've partnered with Microsoft to regain their leadership in the smartphone space - the very same leadership they've lost after the partnership was announced and signed. Boy, this Elop is not only a genius, but clearly also a clairvoyant sage. Nokia is truly lucky to have him. Next Feb'11 he should gift each and every employee of Nokia, if there are some left by then, THIS book to celebrate his immense visionary decisions. Maybe he'll serve as an example in the 3rd edition...

I'm not discussing beliefs, only reminding that Nokia has R&D teams working to make that strategy successful in all fronts.

We haven't seen the contract between Nokia and Microsoft, it is not published, but there won't be any real "future disruptions" as long the contract is in effect. And there won't be any 3rd MS+Nokia ecosystem, it has already failed, but eventually that is only a good thing for the world.

I'm pretty sure Elop will sell everything MeeGo related away just to be absolutely sure that there's no going back. He probably did this already..
