what will i buy next? Android probably.

i would still prefer to have a Meego device but after today's symphony of unmitigated cretinism i simply don't trust Nokia to execute it competently.

Meego no longer a platform = stupid stupid idea!
No QT on nokia Win7 phones = stupid stupid idea!

how does nokia manage to be this incompetent?

Because the Nokia board of directors responsible for the decline of Nokia are still present on the board with a new CEO ex-microsoft director who is still loyal to Microsoft.

Elop just said that some hardware that already was developed for Meego, is going to be used for windows phone

It's clear that Nokia have been given a large sack of cash to go Microsoft, by doing so Nokia has now lost even more customers. Seems Mr Elop doesn't actually understand how business work (TIP: Make customers happy not angry)
are you sure they're going to loose customer??

reading some italian forums I saw so many enthusiastic opinions...

What I'm wondering:

Is W7 a smartphone OS at all? I know that the definition of smartphone is somewhat vague, no matter how you look at it. But there's a set of features that I simply expect in a smartphone, therefore they (for me) define a smartphone. These features are a combination of "what I expect from the computer-side of the smartphone" and "what I expect from the high end phone side". Examples: full multitasking, file system access, full controll of what can be shared (and how) via bluetooth/USB, copy/paste, freedom to install anything from any install-file you find on the web, video calls, MMS, ... Few smartphones have them all, but they have at least most of them. (And before you ask: No. I never considered any iPhone version a smartphone. Because of the features it lacks.)

Now W7 not only lacks some or many of these features. It lacks most or all of them, as far as I know. How come anyone calls it a smartphone-OS? What does W7 offer me as a (admittedly very demanding) consumer that S40 cannot provide? How can it compete with the platforms Nokia is about to abandon?

All those lessons learned from the N770 through til the modern day N900 because the maemo users lived and developed to push the project along the 5 steps, now being diverted into developing Nokia's new range of Windows handsets. That's cold.

A sh**load of money, marketing and a phone company in cardiac arrest.

It's not competition it's euthenasia.


Nokia are replacing one limited OS with another. It makes no sense to normal people.
