Will Nokia be allowed to start the development of a new OS before the Microsoft-Nokia contract is up? When the contract eventually ends the possibility of it not getting renewed has to be considered. I'm hoping Microsoft understands and gives Nokia the space to develop their own mid-range/high-end smartphone OS. I don't know if asking to be allowed to start development at the halfway point of the five year contract is too much to ask, yet they should at least be allowed to start when there are 12-18 months left.

While I was in the market for a Nokia Pureview 808 to compliment the N900 I find it sad to discover Nokia succeeded in making the purchase of the probably last Symbian flagship an act of low ethics and moral values.

What Elop is doing is what the shareholders want him to do and that is scaling down a company to fit in with whoever takes them over and as we all know in this case it is Microsoft.
Why would you want a CEO to come and scale down your company by saying your existing products suck, so you're going to stop selling them. Only to replace them by introducting new products that will not sell in the first place, and in the second place will not be available on the market for nearly another year.
I think more of what's happening there is that they hired the goon as a CEO, and are ever since driving themselves harder and harder into a spiral of "our WP strategy is not working because we haven't been committed enough" mentality, which will only end with a total unintended (but foreseeable) collapse of Nokia.
RIP. My N900 was the last of many Nokia devices I bought. It's Android, or Tizen, now baby.

So the Nokia 808 PureView is the last device from Nokia with QT?

Yeah, heard that song played far too many times to believe any of it... Fool me once, shame on you; fool me eight or more times...
