Nokia should have stuck with Maemo and optimized it till it was smooth and fluid like iphone OS. Jumping from maemo to Meego and giving us the same jerky and uncool UI tells me that NOKIA is NOT a software company. Meego was supposed to be the 6th itineration of their vision, and they still COULD NOT get it right. There is only ONE conclusion buds. NOKIA was good while competition sucked. When competition decided to enter the cellphone world because of many benefits that became clear (GOOGLE, APPLE), NOKIAs weaknesses were exposed. NOKIA is NOT a software company. It could not handle the competition, and ever more complicated optimization necessary to run the beautiful, fluid, eye catchy and seamless UI. So NOKIA had to chose to work with a software company. Perhaps they chose wrong, only time will tell.

OK, back to work...

Really, you keep telling us about how bad your user experience is but I do not believe I have ever seen one post from you asking how to resolve these problems you have. You never know maybe a member of the boards could recognise what is causing your issues? If you are not interested in having your problems resolved, then quit banging on about it.

You are never going to get good apps with NOKIA. There is no money in NOKIA apps.
QtCreator was only in beta at that point in time too so it's highly likely that success would have accelerated once the better developer tools were officially released.
If you're correct that there is now no money to be made from creating apps for NOKIA then that's another disaster visited on them by Elop's incompetence (sabotage?).

Instead of going with Android, Nokia should have had invested more into Marketing and improving the OS to a point where its Android looks smaller!

For developers it was a nightmare that they dropped at a tip of a hat for solidified iOS experience (no more looking for 20*x people to test if it works at all, one test - works? we promote to PROD). And yes, there was no money in creating apps for Nokia, as QA/support swallowed all that awesome money you speak of without quoting figures. People who paid even 1$ expected a working app, fragmentation of Nokia's marketplace prepared the floor for its demise. Elop wasn't even around back then.
