Re: Elop on Helsingin Sanomat: N9 the last Meego phone even if it is succesfull.
 

Elop truly is completely incompetent to run a company like Nokia.

His views are too one-sided and he still seems to take orders from Microsoft.

In this situation a good CEO would praise the device like N9 and re-think his strategy (which crashed Nokia's stock value) after all this positive feedback and response from the customers. But no, let's bash this device and declare it's death!

Nokia Board of Directors, do something before it's too late!

My biggest wish is to read headlines like "Elop sacked as Nokia CEO - now sweeps floors at the warehouse" in the near future. It could be possible if the Board is not full of fools. Well, maybe not the last part of the headline.

There's also another story circulating Finnish news sites this morning: a Nokia engineer Felipe Contreras writes in his blog post that Elop is using false arguments to justify why there are so few Meego-phones coming out. (I tried the search here but couldn't find if this had been posted already.) It seems that Elop just doesn't care about any other OS's than WP inside Nokia.

Previously it's been rumored that Microsoft is paying Nokia a considerable amount of money for the WP-deal. It's likely that Elop and the board are getting a huge bonus too. For Microsoft, MeeGo is just another competitor staying in their way and they'll do whatever it takes to get rid of them. Bribe the right people, and that's it - MeeGo turns into NoGo.

No wonder why Rich Green left. Dirty business.

Edit: Nokia shares have started falling again.

That's not true. It's a local paper for people inside Kehä III (in Helsinki). People outside don't like it and it's left wing/green opinions.

Why not!? Who cares what that idiot says. We already knows this since long so people should stop cry.

I buy this device cause I know the Linux engineers inside Nokia are great people. I also know this is the most open platform and real Linux.

Personally I dont give a **** if its no supported by Nokia in a year.

We have Meego N900CE and we will soon have N9CE too :D

Btw. this statement from MrFlop also prove N9 is still will be "geekphone"...

Re: Elop on Helsingin Sanomat: N9 the last Meego phone even if it is succesfull.
 

I doubt this. Elop would not officially say such a thing even if he meant it. On the other hand, WP is such a huge move and investment by Nokia, so he probably has to remove any doubt internally that WP is set in stone, even though he does it extremely unproffessionaly.

Symbian is also "dead", but 10 new devices are coming in the next 12 months.

Until I hear something officially from Nokia, this is all bull.

We are so lucky that Elop was not the CEO during N8xx/N900 time...else this forum would not have been there...

Re: Elop on Helsingin Sanomat: N9 the last Meego phone even if it is succesfull.
 

well the bigger question is if Meego is gone will there still be maemo

.....rite after Harmattan.

Btw... WP7 will not be announced in northeuropean countrys this year :D Instead we have N9 :D

If you mean the SwipeUI no, not if there isnt an opensource project implementing it.

But the rest of the stuff can/will be backported to Meego IF we want too. (libmeegotouch/qtcomponents/tracker etc...
