Oh g*ddammit... I thought that Elop actually had a brain, but this...is just huge pile of stinking ********.

Ok, Nokia has had problems executing strategy and creating their ecosystem. Not enough speed they say. And what do they do? They effectively kill the ecosystem they have been working on for long time and start over! That's just instane! They won't get anything out of their new ecosystem until 2012 and yet they say they do it for "more speed".

Only bright side on this is that MeeGo was not killed, not at least yet. Personally I will not buy a device based on WP, as I would not want to buy a device based on iOS. I will probably get a MeeGo device, but not a WP device. This also means that I will have to start thinking alternatives to mobile phone policy of our company. Just...********.

Yes, it seems a complete win for MS and a surrender from Nokia.

Ill take a dual boot option if they are offering it. Or a free phone to compensate the fact that they sold me the n900 on the false promise that it was the next step on the path to maemo 6.

From the official press release: "MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project"

A "project". Well, so was Maemo. And it had all the official focus that such "projects" have in companies. It will not be Nokia's focus and is unlikely to produce any seriously supported handsets.

And we already know what that feels like...(owner of 770, N800, N900).

Do recall Qt has VS plugins.

With the Linux Foundation, GM, BMW, and a few other OEM instances out there, I'm quite sure that Nokia will not exactly drop it wholesale.

I don't mind admitting that I'm likely wrong, but what I read sounds like Nokia will still have a MeeGo device out later this year.

If anything, I see this like when Samsung brought out their Android devices while they worked on Bada. If the MeeGo device proves itself to be a big seller, it'll end up being their high end as originally planned.

That's my take.

Well, I like it anyway. No need to get harsh now though, guys! ;-)
Are you ******ed? Do you remember vista?

**** this

**** THIS.

NOW I AM PISSED.

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME NOKIA?

I HAVE WAITED DECADES FOR A DEVICE LIKE THE N900 AND NOW THE WHOLE **** HAS BEEN KILLED OFF STONE DEAD.
