"What happened to the project...."
Is a very valid question here.

"...why Nokia is not thinking about reviving this Magnificent piece of ART or put it under her wing??!!!!!!!!!!!...."
deserves either to be asked in one of the many many many threads created since Nokia moved on...
Or it deserves it's own thread.

Frankly though ...the answer is pretty clear... it is what it is....
the devices are niche.
the majority of the planet are not interested....
Or else everyone from 2010 on...would have had a n900 in their hand...
android and iphone would be scrambling to try to kick nokia off the top of the pyramid....and all would be right with the universe...
unfortunately that "verse" ...ain't this one....
We have android and iphone owning the planet...terrorism rampant ...global warming...and Trump tweeting...

Sooooo...
Bigger question is...
Can we build a dimensional portal to the "verse" where we should have turned "left" instead of "right" and jump through from this mad mad place ... to a proper Nxx0 dominated "verse" where sanity may still hold sway?..
XD
