You've paid ten times over the odds for a crippled feature phone, sucker! I bet you bought cabbage patch dolls, pet rocks and go-go hamsters too.
Even the 'ecosystem' is all smoke and mirrors - a gazillion fart apps and the worst mapping system in the entire history of the cosmos, you'd be better off navigating by the stars.

Too bad the world's ecosystems (nature) are in a serious downturn and are severely polluted. Maybe that's what he's honestly referencing... the polluted ecosystems all around us.
Just look at Nokia for evidence of contamination.

@Lumiaman
Apples closed ecosystem was built before Android, its not surprising it attracted a strong following.
Androids open ecosystem is now striding past Apple without so much as a backward glance.
The very best Nokia/Microsoft can hope to do by building yet another closed ecosystem is far worse than Apple.
The very best Nokia could do without Microsoft by opening its hardware fully would be far better than Android alone.
simples.

It's a two man fight. The rest is just not in the fight!

Now N900, could have been much better, when everyone was doing capacitive, they went to resistant screen, it was a good phone, but not what people wanted.

Sorry to help you with math. Do I see 50% rise in WP (Lumia numbers). You prove my point.

...........try it again with numbers that deal with actual devices sold (hint)

Jolla should stay independent.
NOKIA should negotiate a licensing agreement with Jolla though so they can give their hardware the high calibre OS it deserves.

Unlike Mr. Lumianian though, I do not see any sign of that gamble paying out yet.
The only reason why Nokia went with WP instead of Android is because Microsoft bribed them. That's it. There's nothing else. If Nokia had gone with Android their long term possibilities could have been endless.
It was a desperate, stupid, myopic choice.

What is this open versus closed delusion? The only reason Android has such domination is because they copied what MS did to Apple ages ago, by just being software company and providing their OS to multiple manufacturers. The same model that MS did for PCs and tries to do now. Android just got there ahead of MS, and is riding high. Openess is important in your minds, but not in the business models.
