Only in terms of UI. On the other terms, its way behind. No multitasking, no customizable UI, localization is incomplete, features missing... it's much like iPhoney first was. Restricted, closed but pretty. However, Microsoft doesn't have reputation and brand as strong as Apple did. Yet, markets are different now, so IF there is going to be deep collaboration on Nokia and WP, it needs to develop rapidly to catch Symbian in terms of functionality and reliability.

That's why he's got adopted by uncle Intel, and this rich uncle renamed your brother MeeGo. With your dad's permission of course.

Unfortunately brother MeeGo is still not ready to take over your dad's work yet and your dad's new wife (Mama Elop) does not have much faith in your father or brother's work.

What to do?
It's like a bad daytime soapie...

Symbian = Ageing Dad
Elop = Dad's New Wife
MeeGo = Son
Intel = Rich Uncle
Microsoft = Prospective Lover

Will the wife leave her husband for the new lover?
Will they then murder poor old Symbian?
What the about the son MeeGo, will they kill him as well?

:eek:

Tune in tomorrow.

Hey folks!

Check out Ovi Store. Noticed quite a lot of new apps added recently. Please select "New" from the drop down option.

I still don't understand the comparisons to WP7 when MeeGo really isn't out in a final, purchasable form on any device - the N900 as a test device isn't the same as a new, higher spec'd device.

Complaints about the UI are going to happen; just do so without a bias.

And somewhere in this... I read "no zune" - can't remember otherwise I would quote it. Um... do you folks mean no Zune on the hardware or no Zune in your country?

If the latter, that's easily resolved. And it's not like "Comes with Music" is still in operation. If you meant on the phone, you can't be more wrong. And if you meant no Zune on your OS of choice - it at least functions on 64-bit Windows. The flasher didn't do that.

Anyway, enough talk about WP7. I still don't think that's the immediate future for Nokia. Y'all speculating worse than a butthurt ex-lover about what's going to happen. One more day, you'll find out the truth.

And while you're waiting, go play with the other OS's talked about in this thread. 3 days with a WP7 phone and I'm somewhat impressed; however they're all running on at least 1ghz on similar hardware at the moment. I'm waiting on them - for a 1.0 release especially - to add in the features that I will like.

meego and winmo7 have only one thing in difference: other has been released. both of 'em are not polished or anything and both have excellent concepts concerning usage.

no zune = no zune service available in Finland. Isn't this a clear marker about platform not being quite ready yet? iTunes works, android market works, ...

Nokia became currupted and became a sector of microsoft known as MicroNokosoft. All rebelious who against the move of this merge created a small underground community called TMO revolution which extensive ans secretly working on reviving the abandon empire of MeeGO and Maemo...
A year from now, new section on TMO:

maemo.org > Talk > OS / Platform > Alternatives > Hacks for Installing MeeGo on the latest Nokia

Subforums:
  • Dualboot with WP7 from SD card
  • How to enable the touchscreen
  • Restoring 3G functionality
  • Porting the WP7 Flash version

:eek:

Looks like there's a leak that confirms Win7 talks. From the WSJ:

Quote:
Nokia Corp. is in talks with Microsoft Corp. about using the U.S. software giant's operating system on mobile phones, a person familiar with the situation said.
The rest of the article is stuff we already know.
