Well,
I see it in this way: someone has to take over, why not get organized around this community? I mean the momentum is here, everything is evolving, let's take over. I mean there are serious software people here and folks who have the right assets.
I am being serious.

If Samsung takes that damn Tizen serious why the **** do they bother add Android support? Anbd where is the damn devices!?
Tizen will never success they to damn scared going that direction. Tizen is just a way to scare Google a bit but it will NEVER be mainstream. Not even released for geeks. Just a few crapdevices.
Its just a ****ing hype to make geeks hope for something that never will appear.
Will you people NEVER LEARN from what we already has seen this years!?
Maemo4, Maemo5, Meego, WebOS and so on?
STOP DREAM. we will NEVER see a fully opensource platform.

Insanity continues; Sweden England 2-3. 
Now even football fails me this week. At least I, unlike Nokia, have a Plan B. It's called Denmark. Danmark, Tuborg og søde piger i Jylland. My heart goes to Meltemi people who were locked out of their source code and internal servers yesterday before the annoucement and to the Tre kronor. I'm also drunk and depressed at the moment. So pretty much all normal and regular for a finn.
More seriously, it would be nice if we could somehow get Nokia to release closed and unreleased code from Maemo, Meego and Meltemi projects. They won't be using it, nor will be the corporation that will buyout Nokia before or after the bankruptcy. All that code will just rot away. Now is the time to get Nokia to release it before it's too late. Its going to be too late quite soon.
Maybe we could start stalking and begging Elop in front of his apartment in Katajanokka. Those two bodyguards currently tailing him due to lay offs might be a problem. Lets just say that we come in peace and take us to your leader.

On the other hand, it has a magnetic compass, USB host out of the box, FM transmitter, 512MB RAM and built-in navigation board (pressure sensor, magnetometer, gyroscope, ...). Oh and tons of GPIO/SPI ports and a removable battery.
And complete schematics + open drivers to about everything (there is a GPU blob).

Think I'll wait till there's actually devices before I start wasting my time though...
I have some faint hope for RIM too, don't think it's fair to rule-them-out entirely just yet...
Still like iOS/Android, & to a lesser extent WP, but my 1st love is a full FOSS mobile stack (within reason ofc).
I want to see that dream FINALLY realised beyond serial experimental launches; ALA Nokia.
