Somebody should sue them for abandoning MeeGo, because it truly was the way to salvation. Basically the only thing missing is a huge apps catalog, which they could have easily made themselves with the 4,000 or so Symbian guys they had. You know, keeping them fulltime, but asking them to make apps for MeeGo instead of wasting time with Symbian (maybe some nice bonuses for teams making good apps..). Within months there would have been 10s of thousands of quality apps. Instead they decided to abandon years of work and start buying a marginal OS from MS. Oh, and on the topic of Symbian, why was it so god damn difficult to make a nice GUI for it? I mean, basically, that was all that it needed to succeed (or rather, continue success), no? What the hell were they thinking? I'm not saying all MS cooperation is bad, e.g. Nokia Windows 8 tablets is a great idea IMO. However, abandoning MeeGo was a major mistake. F*** Elop and the incompetent Nokia board. They should all be fired.
