Not sure where you are located at but Nokia appears a lot in our (India) TV and also on our streets too.
Japan also. No marketing presence there - well, none in my last three trips at least.
But I totally agree to the sentiment here that there is a LOT to improve in this area for Nokia. I would not consider posts on Twitter, Facebook, mailing-lists, Nokia-Blogs as marketing at all.
I am just curious to know one thing. Whats Nokia's opinion on this? I mean do they consider what they are doing as enough marketing or are they thinking that marketing is not that much needed for their products. Anyways, either way, I would go with Fire-&-Hire if I had the option.

I've promoted vkv.raju's post linking to the "MeeGo's Community Woes" article to it's own thread.

In all the 20 years that I am using Windows (various versions)
and Unix/Linux, it was always that the Windows OS sucks.
Some applications were very good - but this was not Windows
or Microsoft. Very often Microsoft OS hindered those better
applications because of crashes, slow motion <name your favourite> or even other bad applications/drivers.
Whereas in Linux these issues were at the very beginning
(somehow compareable with Windows 2.x or 3.x).
Nowadays I see blue screens on Windows 7 at work,
still some dual core machines that are slowed down by
Windows 7 and so forth.
Windows HAS NOT improved lately.
Maybe there was some improvement between Windows NT and XP.
But that was one time and only something that was necessary.
Thinking about this, it would be a big mistake for Nokia
to follow Windows on smartphones (and we are only talking about
smartphones here, nobody is interested in Windows, Android or Apple on cheap phones).

Sorry to be blunt, but that sounds like it came from a person who hasn't really tried the alternatives.
For 20 years.
And I have enough from Microsoft fooling their customers all
the time !
The things that I've seen from Apple and Google are not that
bad as Microsoft, but I am still not convinced.

It is the result of 20 years fiddling around with MS-OS.

shortly.
But for MS I can tell for sure.

Did you ever try to run old 16bit programs?

By the end of 2011 there will be only 1 meego device?
And that was supposed to be released 2010!!!

Not interested in anything else out there right now, N900 does it all for me. Nokia's bad management decisions don't stop me enjoying using the device and looking forward to the rest of the year (at least) keeping hold of it. I've used friends' android and iOS phones - as someone in another thread mentioned - they're like toys compared to the N900. If a solid MeeGo device comes out in 2011 I'd be interested, but happy to wait until 2012 to be honest.

Elop is the fire, we're the guy standing on the edge of the platform. Instead of pissing in our pants, we need to piss on Elop and put him out.
(Hey, I've got statistics to back that up...)
