So yea, quite literally, I think that most people will never look at WP even if it is free.

I think your colleagues should try out a windows phone and get there own opinion. Why not give it to them since you dont like it iven if its free, And I hope people here do that before the decide that windows sucks. different people have different use cases. Form you on opinion is what the right way

Instead if investing money in developing meltimi project , if nokia would have used the same money to develop meego it would have been a hit and would have outsold lumia , iphone , s3 , note ,etc. Nokia = Dumb (after Elop entered nokia) , Before Elop Nokia = Inovations

Nokia was dumb much before Elop took the wheel. After Elop they are not just dumb, but plainly suicidal.

How many individuals are supposed to have full source code of maemo or meego or meltemi?

Legally speaking if source codes of any of the os (the part that's already not open) were leaking by employee X then when what is the worst lawsuite result for employee X?

Talking about only a handful have more or less up to date source in full format. I can guarantee you that this was really not expected to happen. I am also very sure that if we would have had at least a small glimpse of what was going to happen and the servers open, then everyone would have dumped whatever was available at that given moment.

But to answer the last question, it's not technically doable for mr XY to leak personally the code announcing it on a forum, for example. I see more a leak elsewhere on torrent e.g.
Lawsuits are unwanted as you can imagine the value of the code itself.

Anyways, I agree that it would be great to make use of all that code that has been developed in the last 3-4 years in Finland.

Imaging a Android core + Harmattan UI... would this be a possible direction for community to work on?

define "core". if you think of something like "all of Android plus qt plus harmattan ui", you'd still be trapped in android's licensing issues and the google-centric application ecosystem. Wouldn't make any sense, because if you don't mind these two you're better off with plain vanilla Android anyway.

People always need to form an opinion by themselves.

My colleagues did try out the phone, a few of them were about to renew their contracts. My phone was lent out to them but 3 of them decided that they did not like Windows Phone. They went the android route, One X, SGS2, SGS3. The consensus among them was that the tile system was essentially a poor man's widgets. No multitasking was also a killer (skype). All of them loved the speed of WP7.5's UI interaction.

There was another person that thought wtf, why do you have 2 phones which look exactly the same. He thought the swipe interface was awesome and actually ended up buying an N9 against my recommendation because I told him the ecosystem is dying/going to die soon.

Can't say that I didn't see this coming. I just wonder what his (Elop) end game is...

It is very clear that many people on here just do not understand enough and consistently blame Elop for the downfall of Nokia and the amount of threads and posts to this effect is huge !!!!.

The facts are and have been very clear for a long time now but many just don't read outside of this somewhat ill-informed community, for those who are blaming him for nokia's downfall need to go read the news and try at least to digest some of it.

Elop is there for one reason only and that is the winding down of Nokia and it is so clear that by the September 21, 2010 Nokia was already finished (parden the pun) as a company and Elop has never had anything to do with any failures within Nokia, in fact he has done his job so good he will go down in history and his methods of winding down such a prominent company that was will be used for years !.

Move on from Nokia and try something else instead of this ridiculous mad charade of trying to convince the world that Meamo Meego meltemi will carry on because it won't !! its a simple as that.

Time to get real on here !!!.
