Maybe they bring out the ultimative Smartphone with MeeGo
and without Nokia? Would be hard for them, I know...

Lots of people have cancer but that doesn't mean it's popular.

Wow, last time I saw a forum as hot as this was when Sony canned Linux from the PS3...and look what happened to that?
Im concerned for Nokia now. They have alienated the only supportive smartphone users they have. It could take years for them to reverse the perception this causes.
Im not particularly a Nokia fanboy; the N900 was my first Nokia for years. However, it is without doubt the most flexible phone around and that is despite no meaningful official support since its launch. Im annoyed that I am being forced down a jailbroke Android / Apple.
Pah!

Don't do this often, but I have to congratulate Balmer for a job very well done (honestly and without any sarcasm). He did a brilliant coup. Saved tens of billions that buying Nokia would have required.

Nokia doesn't have search... google has search. Does Nokia have a presence in the online advertising market? What's the current state of Nokia's marketplace? Nokia doesn't have any of these things and they're letting an honest-to-goodness software company lend them theirs or create what needs to be created rather than trying to do it all themselves.
For all those trashing WP7... whatever you think about WP7 without actually having used it... that's only half as bad as what the rest of the world thinks about MeeGo, without being able to use it. You know all those articles trashing Nokia that everyone hates? That's the same as what you're writing right now. Microsoft actually upgraded their aging OS to a new version... how's the Maemo to MeeGo transformation going, even with MeeGo being a whole lot of Moblin underneath? Help from Microsoft can't make things worse for Nokia, only better. They haven't imploded the company! They've actually gained a working OS that's being brought up to speed at a very quick rate. How is that a bad thing? They went with the partner that will give them major input on shaping how the OS works, which they would not have been able to get from Google. How is that a bad thing? Other companies put WP7 on their phones and no one screamed that companies like HTC or Dell were going to go out of business as a result. Why is this going to kill Nokia? Seriously... it would be nice if someone predicting the end of Nokia would explain why this is so bad. Please keep in mind that almost no one outside this website knows who or what a MeeGo is or uses Linux or knows what root means in a computer sense when forumulating your explanations. Also please note that the zillion iPhone users show that phone buyers don't view software as politics or ideology. Thanks.
