Every source says its real, it reads real, it meshes with what's been said before, and no one's denying it. Not even one Nokia employee is contacting any of the tech sites and saying "I never read that memo". Do you honestly have any reason to doubt it?

It always surpises me when people in this forum try to take the "what's best for nokia" point of view... suggesting they should turn to android or whatever OS for business reasons.
why don't you ask what's best for you as a consumer? yet another android phone or a variety of sytems you can choose from, each with strengths and weaknesses?

Would it be great to now have full ovi maps, a decent Ovi store, Alien D working on our phone and so acess to all the Android apps etc, etc, I wonder how succesful the N8 would of been if it had a meamo os instead of dated symbian with its awful browser. We could evn be looking ofrward to the fist dual core meamo device being announced at the MWC next week.
Unfortunately we will get what is best for Nokia, or what the present American CEO will convince the shareholder is correct which seems to be Android or WP7 - which are both American bases OS!!

What can Nokia offer now ? I really struggle to see what Nokia is for anymore. They sold off all the expertise. Maybe Nokia could offer a nice android model, hopefully they could offer a open hardware model which would help home modders. Thats about all they are able to give.

The memo is real, and has been confirmed by both the BBC and CNN.
This is a turning point for Nokia. A credit rating downgrade for a multi-national organisation is very bad news indeed.
I think Elop is going to do to Nokia what Jobs did when he returned to Apple (after being dismissed by his own board), he's going to turn it around. But the transition is going to be a very painful one for many Nokia employees, there's going to be carnage in the ranks.
Frankly, it's about time someone took Nokia by the scruff and gives it a good shake.
Also, hate to say this as I'm a Meamo fan and have been waiting for Meego for a long time, but I think joining forces with Microsoft would be the best thing for Nokia.
They need to get their heads around a competitve OS. Why spend a fortune developing an in-house OS when you can piggy back off of a perfectly acceptable system like Windows 7.
WP7 not a chance
Iphone not a chance.
Android is no go I want Qt and core Linux.

Knowing how good Maemo5 and the N900 are, it is more than a little baffling at the past treatment by Nokia. Plenty of people will immediately carp on about how it was an experiment, a hobbyist's device, etc. Bit difficult to really believe that or be comfortable with that when you've paid so much for it. And it's not as if it was released by some make-believe company like MaemoNokPhones Inc. It was NOKIA for F's sake!!
"We have to continue with symbian aproach"
just my guess but I have infact heard atleast one fd nokia employer say that was the case :-( Arouynd 10 people wortking on Maemo5 so I must say they atleast did a great progress with that such small group of developers/testers...

Alone the emails on maemo-* maemo.org lists from nokia.com and in changelogs of components show way more than 10 people.
