I'm sorry and i appreciate your work for the community, but now i finally think you either lost your sense for appropriate reactions / reality, or are being simply too diplomatic, in an UN way. This is sad.
Shhh... stop that, or you'll end up convincing him to stop the petty behavior that comes along with the Windows brand name! I'd like to say that I find his namecalling creatively amusing, but it's not very creative and still doesn't beat out my favorite so far: Negatron Dan. Decepticons forever!!

I wouldn't accept that snarky little offer. As he already pointed out, too many low-quality knock-offs, plus far too few health and safety regulations and the pay is extremely low. Naw--you're better off getting whatever you can get in CA.

Wow, missed that part. As a taliban (I hope I'm in those ranks, greatest military Russian/US didn't manage to wipe them out of the face of earth... oh **** he has a point, Elop did fail as long as the community here is strong) I hope qgil was not promoting trolling by giving a job offer, just trying to silence one. Btw, could I get such a job by any chance? I LOVE lumias, they are silky-smooth, have great MS-Office compatibility and the price... is just right. Pretty please???

So in light of Nokia giving away many patents to mosaid so they can patent troll for Microhard and Nokia I'd like you to watch a TED talk about patent trolls and the destruction they cause and how this guy beat one.

Hardly applicable. Nokia did not patent generic internet services usage (email notifications - newsfeed - rss as is case in the video), neither are they trolling. Each closed source package on maemo is also not a oblong-rounded-touchscreen device Apple tried to patent and lost. We're talking about real development/programming man-hours put into developing working solutions.

Correct, but actually owning and using a Maemo/Meego device produced during the last couple of years does make it easier for you to be taken seriously. just saying.

Back to topic. Nokia is not on the brink of failure. Nokia is one failure after the other ever since the N95. Right now it's more a matter of saving what's left of value. This is also the upside, there's lots of valuable stuff within Nokia.

Should Nokia go with Android? No, not from a corporate point of view. However, since the alternative (WP) simply is not competitive - and Nokia/MS does not seem to be able to make it competitive, they should go for Android. And so on.

Couldn't agree more with you there. It funny how the idea of "pee-ing in your pants just to stay warm" seems more attractive these days.

Just accept it. You are all fringers here, the less than 5% outliers. Looking for something other than iPhone, just because it's different from iPhone. Nokia should not be listening to fringers here as you don't represent the mainstream. Maemo and meego didn't do well. It's a good phone for the fringers or Taliban, but most people shy away from it. WP will succeed with itinerations. MS just posted huge profit and they will keep pouring money into this project. And fringers can hope that down the line, when in better financial situation, Nokia will throw them some bone

Sure. That's exactly how i like my life to be. Going with the chosen few, being in control and making self-aware, informed decisions backed by my own, evolved set of standards, rather than belonging to the cloned 90%ers roaming the streets out there.

Life's harder (and more expensive, time-consuming) this way, but entirely more fulfilling.

Now, gimme a Psion to work with...
