Many people said they loved Zune too--that didn't help it at all. That was potentially successful too, but not realized success, no.
Oh yes, microsoft is an utter failure in the mobile space. I'm really just considering the WinMo > WP7 transistion, based on the hypothesis that given sufficient pressure, a corporate may change. Linear extrapolation disagrees obviously

Regarding the brand, I doubt that so many smartphones users have any idea that WinMo ever existed, but as often, this might be market/country dependant.

The board didn't "panic", they responded to a quick drop in marketshare in Q4 2010 that looked like it had no sign of stopping. They took stock of all their options and WP7 is where they arrived. You have no insight into their decision-making process and neither do I, so we can't say HOW they came to this conclusion. However I'm willing to bet they didn't just go Leon on the situation

WAKE UP

TIME TO DIE

Seriously, most people in the world have more common sense than you do. You should probably try and remember that.
The UI has been rewritten latest release of Symbian and still improves. However Elop is the one helping killing Symbian future. And u naive enoughgt think Elop is "the good guy for Nokia". I doubt...

I give up this is just plain stupid discussion. You actually has been brainwatched by Elops lies about "burning platforms".

This MAY depend on country people here seems to forget that Nokia is GLOBAL. It may very well be supported in small countrys like norteuropean. And also Austria/INdia seems to be N9 country?

Nokia sweden seems to marketing it very well already and many carriers will sell it here.

Sometimes I think Nokia "northeuropean" is not the same company as global Nokia who seems to fail escpecially in US as already stated...


Btw... about the VKB in harmattan it is using Maliit(openSource):

you'd be surprised how stupid carrier employees can be. Without marketing there will undoubtly be quite a few employees who will think Meego is a new Symbian update (it shares the same icons) - maybe the codename for Belle or whatever.
