Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

They just bought another OS today, that's right another OS.

I think we need to start a kitty for psychiatric services for Nokia's management. They obviously have no idea what direction they are going in.

As much as I hate to say it they really should have just went with android, it could have been one single platform for all their phones. In the US we have seen $50 unsubsidized android phones, so it could have easily spanned from flagship to feature phone.

Then maybe their so called pet project (maemo/meego) development could have continued.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

WTF I MEAN WTF can they just wake the **** up and work with android.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

Looks like some of the basic Java/Symbianism OS's that you would see on the Chinese Clone phones

Why would buy this, is it all apart of plan for global domination? ;)

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

How many OSes can a manufacturer have??

Not enough, clearly!

Happy Friday everyone :)

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

I got a feeling Nokia bought it for some element on it that it adds to S40 or meltemi.
Would make no sense to use it as it is.... i hope.


I hope not and thankfully neither are they going to. Just pick one you like from the +100 manufacturers making Android phones already.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

- S30
- S40
- Symbian S60
- Symbian^3
- Maemo
- MeeGo
- Windows Phone
- Meltemi
- Some New OS

They just ditched the great OS's (Maemo/MeeGo/Symbian) and now they just bought another OS...

Seriously?... wtf?

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

I thinik I can see Nokias plan to gain their their place in the mobile OS world.

Step 1: Ditch the OSes you have been working for years and spent billions on

Step 2: Pick up random OSes noone likes or knows (WPhail and random norwigian OS)

Step 3: ????

Step 4: Profit

Sounds like a good plan

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

It's not uncommon for companies to buy crap to prevent competition. They probably won't do anything with it and bought it to kill it for some reason.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

that seems to be their forte.

On another note I learned that they no longer control symbian, they farmed the management out to accenture?!?

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

Apparently, their management decided that Nokia's stock are still too high rated. It need fixing immediately.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

Who knows, in a year or so maybe nokia will present us phones and tablets for 50 bucks a piece. Meaning everybody will buy at least 10 of them, for each room in your home, one for you car, one to give away to a homeless person at the next occasion and one to trash just for fun.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

MS gave them a billion or two to spend, so why not ... ?

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

oh i hate android, but this would mean they'd stay afloat, especially with the right advertising and the swipe ui big problem is multitasking wouldd suckk, but image android 4.0 on an N9

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

Hey if windoze does catch on there will be 100+ manufactures as well it's not like nokia has an exclusive deal

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

The difference is Nokia was the "first" and got solid ecosystem (yes i hate the word too) around it. They are going absolutely all out for it after all.
Symbian was owned jointly by multiple big manufacturers. Nokia pretty much became Symbian, even as they owned "just" 49% of it on it's peak.

Windows Phone is also more in to the iPhone model so we wont see hundreds of random companies making WP, like it is on Android.

Re: Nokia did you forget to take your ADD meds again?
 

Yep, and it is the same with wp7, like Symbian.
Nokia will be the only one doing it in the end. The other manufacturers are already committing less and less resources to wp7 because they are seeing Nokia getting too close to MSFT. And we all now how msft likes to screw there partners.
