Elop gave you N9. Nokia is stupid in even doing that. When survival is on the line, you have to focus on your best chances. Meego isnt it

I'm pretty sure me, my friends, associates and customers have been quite happy, and not really looked back at Nokia (despite my constant hope that Nokia would be smarter than this). I, for one, am better than being led down the blind path you're traveling and drinking that WP7 Kool-Aid. Let's see if it'll keep hobbling along as if it had injured legs like it has for the past decade. I'll bet it'll end up showing Balmer sweat-stains for trying.

See... y'all laughed at me when I mentioned the lack of sweat stains in the prior bicycling image that was supposed to look like him.

Ballmer is a definite sweating type of dude. But I fear that looks more like drool stains.

This has gotten a bit heated. Exchanging opinions is fine, even emphatically, but cut the personal slams.

Limiting markets and production of N9 is also inexplicable, or Elop is just packing it all much earlier in a coffin.

Unfortunately, for WP7, it has not been such a case. Also, current sales of WP7 prove the acceptance it got from people.

No doubt...and I have NEVER said otherwise. As i said before going WP7 is not the problem, the problem is focusing solely on it, and that is what I don't like about Elop.
I'm also unsure as to why you say Meego etc are way ahead of WP7, because from what I've seen they're not. Each has stuff that the other lacks and vice versa. eg Can u edit documents on n9? no you can't at least not yet. Does WP7 have vpn? no it doesn't not yet.

I also agree that going WP7 is inexplicable, very unnecessary. We are on the same page minus the Microsoft hate.

Listen, the reception for initial release of wp7 was bad yes, but not set in stone. They've improved it drastically. They rushed it out to market and the lacklustre hardware attempts from the OEMs didn't help either, considering the alternatives, it was bound to be sucky. Are you all REALLY not seeing ANY merit in wp7 platform? really? How many of you have used a phone with WP7 mango?
