I had three iPhones. They officially bore me.

What's your backup device o' choice?

I had the original iPhone, iPhone 3G and the iPhone 3GS. Skipped the iPhone 4 - opted to test & develop on the iPad instead.

Superior isn't the first thing that comes to mind. And right now, I'm switching between a Motorola Atrix and Dell Venue Pro. On the tablet front, I have a Motorola Xoom, the aforementioned iPad, and since I was able to save $200 off, I got the 16GB HP TouchPad just yesterday.

So yeah... I was seriously asking. Do I expect an answer? Hell yes.

The people on the council are much smarter and involved in this community than I could fathom or commit.

And I'm far from brilliant. My company gives me the chance to test cool stuff. Sadly, Nokia has not been on my list, so I grabbed that as a hobbyist instead.

Respect the council. Those dudes are trying hard to represent us.

I can't wait personally for that.

Nokia cannot keep waiting. February 2010, they "went" with MeeGo. February 2011, they "dropped" MeeGo. June/July 2011, they soft-announce the Nokia N9. August 2011, the N9 isn't out yet nor do they have dates for bigger markets - no Germany, no France, no England (not directly), no USA, no Canada... not yet. But Kazakhstan, South Africa and Austria all have dates... wtf.

Anyway, let's see. I just don't like this whole fight from a hole strategy.
I get the feeling that Nokia can actually wait until mid-2012, and I base that on the expectation that the company won't be shipping WP phones in volume until 2012. Put simply, they opted for this strategic direction knowing this full well, which means it's likely that they have the financial capacity to do so. Will they continue to lose marketshare? Sure. But marketshare can be rebuilt, and certainly it's easier to do when done on the back of a new headline OS and an accompanying reboot of consumer perception.

But yeah, all we can really do is speculate. I hope that Nokia succeeds because I like both WP7 & Nokia hardware. In a year's time we'll be able to see whether or not this strategy was the right one.

You reckon something new every day, it's not really worth regarding your opinion.

By 2012, they will be 3rd or 4th in the world. Their stock will be still around $5.00 USD. And the losses will be intense. Long term planning better be clearer than it is now. Otherwise, the lost market share will not be able to be reclaimed - nobody will know what's next.

You like WP7? Strange hearing that on these boards.
