The tale of the ecosystems:
[...]
And that's it. Without an ecosystem you are nothing but an OEM, a servant for the sneaky-company, doomed to do nothing but slash prices for the rest of time. The Nokia board want Nokia to be much more than a servant, and that's why the ecosystem is what it's all about.

How did any technology company ever get anything done before the word 'ecosystem' appeared on the lips of analysts/CEOs/bloggers?

You don't even need them to push an update. Doesn't Windows Phone disable all cellular functions once battery is down to 15%?

mind telling us in how far NOKIA being an OEM solely for m@ke$$h!t is any better then being an OEM for Android devices or even both for Android devices and LostDOS Paralysed?
Android is free, as you pointed out yourself, thus it offers better margins or allows lower prices.
what makes m@ke$$h!t's LostDOS Paralysed better?
the applications are not free? that's certainly helping
they are as buggy as any crap from Redmont; after 15 yrs of enjoying that on their PCs, ppl can't wait to have THAT on their phones, that's for sure
as i pointed out to daperl, m@ke$$h!t least to kill Symbian faster
imagine, you just need to call 911 when m@ke$$h!t decides to push an upgrade down your throat. your GF dies from an haemorrhage after slipping on a icy patch because you couldn't call an ambulance...
you aren't Flop, you are Balmer

It's not a big change. Bing maps already used only Navteq data long before Elopcalypse and Nokia had partnenership on location based services with MS. Bing maps on WP7 will be now just rebranded to Nokia maps. On the other hand, it doesn't really help Nokia neither as nothing really changes.

This just proves how bad M$ are at developing software as even with the same Navteq data as Nokia Maps Bing maps is nowhere near as good or as popular. Nobody would buy a WP7 device for Bing maps however Nokia Maps is a different proposition.
