Anyway, you say that as if WP has got a lot of support. The amount of official app support is just as dire on WP, most the apps are unofficial or do not exist. I get by just fine with the amount of apps on Maemo because alternatives exist I even get more full fledged programs because I can install Easy Debian packages. Does not mean I wouldn't like more official apps but the situation isn't any better on WP, they sit and pray with their fingers crossed that the latest greatest app is coming to their platform too and it often doesn't.
I wasn't thinking about WP, I was thinking in general terms. The ability to multitask several programs isn't a good measure for a smartphone OS. Multitasking is almost irrelevant, secondary at best.

True multitasking may be irrelevant, but I feel I never can predict precisely what the Lumia will do when I switch apps (will the app remember the exact position and state where I left it? usually it does not) or push the back button (will it go back one step in the app, or will it kill the app?)

This is frustrating and gives a bad user experience.

I agree it's by no means the main reason to fault any OS but I don't think that choosing multitasking over app count is unimaginable or dishonest at all.

Actually, having a huge number of apps is irrelevant. The cake is having the key applications available. The almost as important factor is being able to use them in a functional practical environment. I have that already with the N900. Meggo too. Tons more apps is the icing.

With Nokia on a patent crusade maybe the stocks will rise a bit? Some fresh money for Nokia is sure to come out of this.

Nokia has become a low life patent troll.
Suing everyone from left and right and on all continents.

Long gone are the times when Nokia declared they use patents only defensic way.

I hope MS+Nokia will be ordered to open their agreements to harm OSS; http://www.groklaw.net/article.php?s...11208101818692

Here's some recent and INTERNATIONAL perspective on Nokia's outlook, for the people that keep claiming it's all the Americans' fault:

Well, they filed against Apple directly. However now Sisvel and MOSAID have Nokia's patents who go after others.
