No, but we have a choice without Nokia. We don't have to pin our flag to the Nokia mast. I'm quite happy to jump ship if I don't like the direction it's sailing in.

I don't think there are many Nokia fanboys remaining. If another manufacturer were to offer a compelling MeeGo device, I'm sure many people would leave Nokia without a second thought. Sadly, it appears that MeeGo is stillborn (in terms of widespread adoption), and there won't be any more Maemo devices, so it's difficult to know which is the best future direction. Personally, I'm going to stick with my N900 until there is a true replacement. I'd like to see this place head back towards the ITT format, so we can openly discuss all available alternatives without any whiff of allegiance to a particular manufacturer.

Microsoft, as any corporation (Google, Apple, etc) is in the business to make money. Just because they aren't making money right now doesn't mean they won't be going to make it later. Just look at the entertainment division, they were bleeding cash a few years ago, and now it's profitable.
the entertainment division still is billions on the hole.

only saving grace forced xbox live income.

I'm really really hoping, that Elop would see the sales and response from the n9 and be FORCED to continue it. Oh i wish. Also wish Samsung might pick it up but seems like they're going with their bada platform tsk tsk.

@abill
typing any more responses to your spam is a waste of time...everyone in the forum feels the same way I'm sure this is my last....

We still dont know what the sales will be. The fact that Finnshave preordered a lot of N9s doesnt mean much. There arent many Finns in the world anyways. Only time will tell.

I got it from The Register.

If you don't believe it I'll be most interested to hear your theory for NOKIA designing and building the best smart phone in its history and then not releasing it in any of its major markets.
