Java is dead

I should have made myself more clear. S40 development using J2ME is dead. That essentially means there is nothing for developers to work with on S40 devices (which are still selling in their hundreds of millions). Nokia aren't simply going to abandon this market to Android, so that means they need a strategy. Windows Phone is not an alternative for a number of reasons. Firstly, Windows Phone won't scale to lower end devices. Secondly, the licence for Windows Phone is apparently $30 a device - far too high. Other than supporting Android (which I can't see happening), that only leaves Nokia with the option of porting Qt to S40.

I'm afraid the feature phone division seems to be next on Elop's 'to destroy' list.

There's far too much legacy crud assoc. w/S40, it's not practical, they're walking away from Qt.
There's so much info. out there pointing to that, I dont know how anyone could conclude otherwise.
Most recently this talk by qgil himself:

Just let this thread die already, start a new more relevant one if you want.
