Nokia saw no other alternative than going WP or Android. They chose WP because that was a better deal than Android. We will never know all the details, but MS surely has loads of money, and WP will always be "higher end" than Android. MS will keep on hammering until WP is the best OS overall. Then there is S40. Going WP allows Nokia to steam ahead with S40 and the S40 ecosystem (Ovi). This is all Nokia, and it is steaming ahead right now, growing like no other ecosystems. Android would eat into that as well.

The N9 UI does look comfortable i have to admit but i will wait and see all the reviews when it has been out a while before committing myself, maybe as Nokia have stated there will be no support forthcoming and this i do not think will happen IF it takes off anything like i think it will..... BUT what will Elop do if and when this situation arises because no way will he want the popularity on anything but WP ! so there might be a problem !.

I don't think anyone was upset about Nokia releasing WP phones. The problem is, Nokia gave up its OSes (especially Symbian, which had a HUGE worldwide market).
A smart CEO would have said something like: Starting sometime next year, we are going to release some WP phones. We will also improve Symbian and Meego.

The first Windows Phone with 7.5 Mango is the Toshiba IS12t, and this smartphone will come with awesome tiles, mobile version of Office, Xbox LIVE integration and so much more, to give you more of what it will feature a new video has been release.

NITDroid exists on the N900.
Not quite sure what you're complaining about... both relate to Nokia and invariably will receive support after Maemo/MeeGo is truly dumped by Nokia.
