I wouldn't be so sure. From my experience working in and with US-based IT companies, they are pretty good at brainwashing people to be loyal to the brand forever. I have seen it time and time again.

I read it too. I would translate "According to Elop, Nokia will not continue with Meego even if it proves to be a success."


The title is "Elop sulkee pois Meegon paluun", "Elop rules out the return of Meego"

SO why would you buy a dead unsupported phones?? A waste of investment imo.
Oh shut up with your american ******** perspective.

Elop is the one to blame!

Good thing Nokia isn't the owner of MeeGo then, or I might have to actually worry. Intel will bring us MeeGo phones... if not, we are doomed to use crappy chinese knockoffs. At least those would be cheap.

Sometimes I do feel like Elop is doing his best to kill Nokia. He wants instant success so he decided on Windows Phone instead of Android. In house they have a great product that can be a success and rule their own f* ecosystem but no let's dump it even before it get to consumers and start from the beginning. He said many great features found in N9 will be available on WP, does he mean the lack of HDMI or the swipe UI that got praised all over the web? Seriously, what the hell ??


PS. I need some coffee

Elop is a Microsoft guy through and through. Therefore, I'm not too surprised he'd take this stance.

However, if the N9/950 do prove to be a hit, I suspect the Board may push him in another direction and force him to reconsider.

From what I've seen on the Tech websites, the N9 is generating many positive reactions. And, I'm sure Nokia's Board will take notice of this and if Elop doesn't comply with their wishes he will be forced out.

Nokia have the makings of a beautiful 'eco system' with MeeGo, if they choose to drive it forward.
