hey BADA is not doing all bad. is outselling wp7 worldwide.
if meego was ready as in it was presented in 1.1
it would be better than all OS, including webOS, sadly development going slow.

I don't really care about the MeeGo sidestep, I think Nokia was doing fine with Maemo. What I never really understood is why they were so half hearted and slow about it.

Ari Jaaksi said it. Symbian was like a religion within nokia. Everything was second to symbian. Easy to understand what kind of problems the maemo/meego team was facing all the time.

But just consider the resources Nokia, more than anyone else, has put into R&D... They could cut a couple of prototypes and make a single model at least twice a year, and it would only compliment Symbian. Especially as they were drawing up the Qt synergy strategy a couple of years ago, they should have put the Maemo experience to use. Instead it was like 'and hey, maybe somebody might port something to MeeGo too...?'

there was and still isn't any rationale behind what Nokia has done and is doing. End of story.

Maybe the warmth of pee in samsung's pants is already fading away and they want to go back to the good ol' days where hardware manufacturers controlled the software part.
