What a very sad day for Finland and Europe in general, I feared the worse with a North American CEO running the show, we can now all be subjected to the US style hyped, dumbed down, closed, mass market consumer products like the iCrap.

I'm still having trouble comprehending how Nokia threw away such a unpolished diamond like the N900 and Maemo 5, it's unreal.

I think innovators like Ari Jaaksi saw all this coming hence his move to HP/webOS.

The only thing certain now is that I will be buying another N900, I can only urge the community to re-double our efforts in advancing Maemo 5 with or without Nokia.

No, it was a plan. This rogue guy had this in mind from the beginning, I think.

Sure - Intel started hiring Android people month ago.

Shame on you, Elop.
And do that while Nokia was still number 2 in profits (Q4) only topped by Apple, and still leading in market share in both overall and smartphones, although in decline.

They waste just as much time with this strategy shift while giving up all the trump cards they had. Their scale is now against them. It only serves to drive Microsoft's ecosystem. I bet competitors are ramping up their WP7 projects already because suddenly that might be a viable competitor to Android and iOS and now you can out-do Nokia with HW only. They should've taken their scale advantage to drive their own ecosystem, to competitors' disadvantage but now they're totally playing for everyone else but themselves.

Anyone any idea's?.
Hmm. You have just underestimated this news value. This news is going to be here in Finland on EVERY SINGLE PAPERs first page tomorrow and probably on coming weeks. There will be thousands of ex Nokian sw-devels quite soon on job market :|

And for N900. I donīt know. If you have read any posts here especially threads where qgil explains why making stuff open source is not free I would guess that nothing changes. Things go on as they have. We as hobbyist keep on fooling around with our little toys etc. Meego will be released.

Only thing what Iīm worried alot is Qt.

That's nothing... Copy/paste and multitasking, that is something my old Nokia 7650 had 8 years ago!

Since 1999, I've bought about 15-20 cell phones -- all of them made by Nokia. However, I doubt my next phone will be a Nokia. I just can't see myself using a Windows Phone. I'm going to try to keep an open mind, and hope for the best, but I'm not expecting much.

Like many on here, I'm feeling angry and disappointed.
