MeeGo development was slow.
Nokia feared that by the time they luanch N9-01, it will stay behind the competition, so they decided to tie up Microsoft to give a stiff competition to Andioid and iOS.
But now that they feel, they made a place in market by using WM7, they still can continue their intense research on MeeGo and give it a try and use both OS on their high end devices, diversify their devices with varieties of OS.
It will be benifical for the company. But still i see less hope of MeeGo

Who gave you my consumer feedback? On what basis are you judging?
I can't switch on to other brands because no other company provides the kind of hardware and customer support like Nokia
My last interaction with Nokia's customer service was to get a new backcover for a N900 after the lens cover came apart (production error I assume). To go through such simple motions only took 4 calls, roughly 20 mins each and 43 calendar days! During warranty period btw.

Android is a new smartphone OS.
Android is no match for Maemo / MeeGo.
I have no option but go for windows.
Sure they did bad by killing MeeGo. But I can't whine about what nokia did, but to take the positive out of WM7

Samsung or HTC mobile cameras are no compared to Nokia's Carl Zesis. The my friends have always complained about the poor customer support provided by Samsung. Thats why its hard to switch from Nokia.

It is up to you, but returning to original subject - Maemo/MeeGo is a derivation of Linux as is as Android which has much more success than WM on mobile market.

You won't see any any Android device which is not having a CPU less than 1Ghz. With such a fast processor any OS will work fine. But look at N900 even at 600 Maemo works smoothly, Maemo / MeeGo utilizes the hardware more efficiently compared to Android

BTW.
However, it doesn't do a difference to original statement - Android and Maemo are similar and Android succeess crushes any speaches that WM is more suitable for sucess on mobile market.
Maemo/MeeGo derives its systems from a far more diverse open source base than Android, which is almost entirely internal to Google. They are very different beasts.

Isn't that like a food manufacturer deciding to throw away their brand and only sell their products as a generic store brand at a single grocery store, say WalMart, in an effort to beat FoodLion and Target?
Doesn't make sense.
