Re: Microsoft buying Nokia's devices & services

Can anyone clue me in: how can Microsoft buy Nokia for $7.2 billion, if the current market cap for NOK is $14 billion? How does acquisition of publicly traded companies work?

Re: N900 was(is) not the Only MAEMO phone meet N500 & Friends :)

What's with all the "it's not real Maemo" posts: could those device makers legally download and install Maemo on their phones? If not, then why not? Wasn't Maemo supposed to be open? If we had it...

This will be of no use for Facebook and e-mail though.

Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro or Xperia mini pro should be better options.

Sad indeed. That, and the fact that it is now off-topic.
