And Nokia abandoned Maemo/MeeGo.

This patent business is getting out of hand. In a month or two, someone will patent the color orange so we would have to shell out a buck or two for every orange pixel in TMO.

and going to abandon symbian too,..!

ya, usually one of the most prominent country likes to patent pretty much everything in the world..... including things that are naturally occurring for millions of years

M$ is so last century

Just as an aside, I found this interesting story on how Symbian came into being and almost never made it.

It also shows that Microsoft wanted to take it over too!

It's quite long, but a very informative read!

keep hatin all you want. Its like US Foreign Policy, everyone hates them but guess what they are still the top dog lol So your comment is utterly mistaken, Microsoft will have their ups and downs but they will still be there to bug the crap out of the world

yeah but am i sure microsoft still want windows phone to take over the market and outsell android because 100 buck per unit is better than 5 bucks for unit

History tells us that big empires always fall so Microsoft or the US for that matter won't last forever.
