That and I have long been in alignment with the Dilbertesque view of marketing.
. It was your sarcasm that kind of threw me off I think.. "a marketing guy stuck to the script!".. I mean, I do see the humor in it of course.. it's just in this specific instance either the marketing guy.. or the script.. simply sucked .. back-side.

That's fair. I have a lot of Adobe folks I follow because of prior interaction with them on Flash, Flex, Flash Catalyst, Creative Suite (beta testing) whatnot.
I follow a rather small set of folks, the people that follow me... they endure my rants about everything.
I pity them.
Therefore if people have a specific reason to use it... fine, so be it. Your favorite idol is on it? Great, your job collaborates on it? Great... It's popular now and not a surprise..
It's just for me.. I have no reason to use it. I have not found any hole in my life that twitter is the proper fit for just yet. That is the only point I've been trying to make.. I am not saying everybody else should go cancel their twitter account and boycot social networking.. I just said it wasn't for me.
I am still perplexed at the sarcasm I was given for that.. (not from you, gerbick.)

This goes into the lose-lose part of forum management.

I totally get your point. Not everything is for everybody. The sarcasm tossed at you; I didn't understand it either.
Stay strong. Don't fall into the Twitter trap.

Okay, to go back to topic here...
Am I the only person that finds it weird that the Nokia dude is putting so much faith into the N8, but it represents the last Symbian N-series phone. It's like putting faith into the last standing pair of dodo birds... that happen to both be male.
If they're this vocal about the N8, and they continue down this path of non-vocal behind the upcoming MeeGo series as they were with the N900, what kind of conflicted message does that really send?

Now.. you know Intel and Nokia were in talks before even the N900 was released. I mean, these are two giants of corporations here. They don't do anything without.. well..
without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
Anyway.. the point of all of this can easily be summed up:
"That's just par for the course for Nokia."

In my opinion, every device we buy is going to lose support in the long run. Symbian^3 will be around for short while and then replaced with Symbian^4, but afterall, we have not seen a single Symbian device that can be updated with new version of Symbian OS. Symbian^4 devices are about one year ahead (plus delays), so it gives N8 reasonable time to be on the market, this time being "one of a kind." Fact is, Nokia simply cannot stick with S60 for one additional year waiting to jump straight to Symbian^4. Qt will bring at least some backwards compatibility, so N8 might be actually a good buy if you don't want to wait for MeeGo to be available for our N900's or pay higher price for new MeeGo-device. At least if software doesn't suffer too many problems.
