Soon enough, the new line will be, "This used to be talk.MAEMO.org..."

Apple the world’s largest smartphone vendor, Samsung knocks Nokia from 2nd place

Seems like Nokia is on a RAPID decline--worldwide.

And you must have a constant hard-on because of it. Isn't that what you've been wanting all the time? Been reading your posts here and I can't really understand why you spend your time here if you practically only celebrate Nokia's decline. Haven't you been an android user for ages already?

If Nokia are going to screw everyone yet again with the N9 as they did with the N900 then quite frankly they deserve to go down to stop everyone losing out all the time.

Only thing you can hope for is Elop and his WP device(s) because Nokia have shut down on everything else and yes that means EVERYTHING else.

Given Windows Phone 7's track record so far, it's not optimistic. I suspect most of Microsoft's problems are probably mainly their history of screwing the industry (from customers to salespeople to vendors) repeatedly. Windows Phone 7 does seem like a FAR better device than its predecessors, in the Windows CE/Mobile lineage, but that might be cold comfort to everyone for whom they've ruined their brand. Nokia has managed to do similar brand-destroying mistakes and both of them joining together is unlikely to do anything to repair that no matter how good their product might end up being to some people.

Yes this is very true to say because we all know the hatred even on here for Microsoft due to the very reasons you have said and there is the problem no matter what or how good the WP device is that many will boycott it because of the already exsisting hatred for MS.

People say Elop is doing the right thing and in some parts he is by getting out staff within Nokia that have failed Nokia in the past with software development BUT he seems to have put all his eggs in one basket with this joint venture and totally obliterated all of Nokia's os's from one end to the other.

Looking at it from a pure business perspective he has obvivously left himself nothing but WP and that is looking to be a fatal situation, relying on purely one os and nothing else.

No news from the Nokia stable of anything but WP so we are all in for a rough ride i think.

Incidently i have also noticed more and more Nokia outlets are shut down and still shutting down so it is not looking good is it, rather like what everyone seems to be saying ... The beggining of the end.

How far will this so called Nokia loyalty go i wonder !, let's see how many fanboys are going to be left .

This seems like the right thread for this as well:
In June, Elop offered an audience a glimpse of what looked like a Nokia N9 smartphone running Windows Phone. The N9, which currently runs a MeeGo operating system slated for mothballing by Nokia, married a curved 3.9-inch AMOLED (active-matrix organic LED) screen to a body engineered from a single piece of polycarbonate. The first Nokia devices running Windows Phone are slated to make their debut at the end of 2011.

News that Nokia will abandon its homegrown Symbian operating system, however, has led to a significant dip in Symbian handset sales, as customers flee the platform in favor of one that offers continuing support. That’s led to analyst pessimism about Nokia’s prospects over the next several quarters.

They're hopping off toward other platforms as QUICKLY as possible to where they'll be SUPPORTED. Key word, there.

Elop pissed into Nokia's ecosystem and polluted it:
Let's be very clear, and first copy his exact words here. This is what Stephen Elop wrote about ecosystems and Nokia:

"The battle of devices has now become a war of ecosystems, where ecosystems include not only the hardware and software of the device, but developers, applications, ecommerce, advertising, search, social applications, location-based services, unified communications and many other things. Our competitors aren’t taking our market share with devices; they are taking our market share with an entire ecosystem. This means we’re going to have to decide how we either build, catalyze or join an ecosystem."

While it all sounds great, a bizarre thing happened between February and today. According to dozens of executives we spoke with, Nokia developers have abandoned Nokia's platforms and even more alarmingly, are not embracing Microsoft's WP7 ecosystem instead.
