Bye Nokia, it was a fun journey
My current phone is a Nokia, my previous phone was a Nokia, in fact all my mobile phones so far were Nokias. My next phone will not be a Windows Phone. I think is the time to say goodbye, Nokia is not any more the company I trusted and willing to make business with.
There is a good part here, now I am pretty sure my next phone will be Linux powered and way more open. Thank you Nokia for driving me to Android, which most likely will be the OS of my future phone. And thank you Nokia for helping me to stop crave for a MeeGo device.

I don't think that the only option will be WP7 if you want a Nokia smartphone.
ReplyDeleteI think they will release MeeGo devices, but they need more time to finish it, and they can't abandon the top smartphone market, until MeeGo is ready.
"meego device". Phone or something else?
ReplyDeletebut after today's announcement i don't want to buy from them any more.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if a phone or something else, but my opinion is, that MeeGo will power net tablets like N900 was, and maybe a bigger tablet, based on x86.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the details about the deal with Microsoft, but I'm pretty sure they'll FORCE Nokia to drop everything that could compete with them.
ReplyDeleteAnd that includes both Symbian and MeeGo.
Maybe I'm wrong, but history says that.
Nokia. Dead... Lose the loyal power users for consumers with the collective IQ of a rock.
ReplyDeleteA MeeGo tablet would be not much else than a Fedora tablet.
ReplyDeleteNice, but not much more than that without the ecosystem, focus, marketing, and so on.
MeeGo used to be something like Red Hat without the Fedora community. It changed into Fedora without the Fedora community...
The Meego components will live on. But in what shape?
Sad. Symbian had some promise, I don't understand why they would abandon their own child...
ReplyDeleteEu nu inteleg de ce nu lasnseaza un N900 "prostit" pentru mase ... sau un alt telefon cu Maemo pana cand Meego e gata. de ce trebuie sa sara pe fereastra.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why they don't lunch a dumbed up N900 for the mases ... or another phone with Maemo till Meego is ready. why they have to jump out the window
Pentru ca Maemo/MeeGo sint intentionate pentru telefoane "premium", daca le-ar pune pe unele ieftine, cine ar mai cumpara din alea scumpe? Sint si eu de acord ca li s-a tras de la lipsa de telefoane cu sisteme de operare moderne... poti cumpara ceva cu Android chiar si sub 1000 lei (ceva crappy).
ReplyDeleteAu sarit acum in pat cu Windows pentru ca si-au adus CEO de la Microsoft, era previzibil.
Pai asa si WINDOWSU e pentru telefoane ieftine? Maemo de fapt N900`le a fost facut asa pentru cei carora le place sa "cocoseasca" calculatoru telefonu orice prind in mana ... nu a fost nici pentru busines nici pentru "High End" a fost mai mult pentru Geeks. Dar nu au mai scos nimik din August 2009 cu Maemo si nici nu au mai imbunatatit si l-au omorat cu Meego si acum nu vor mai scoate nici cu Meego.
ReplyDeleteDin cate inteleg eu symbian va inlocui sistemele de operare pe telefoanele ieftine si windowsu pe cele scumpe altfel de ce ar fi zis ca vor continua sa foloseasca simbian? Pt cele scumpe ... nu cred ca are vreo sansa. De aceea nu pot sa inteleg aceasta miscare ... si cred ca ii v-a durea foarte rau nu ca acum se simt prea bine ... dar domnul acesta chiar ar trebui trimis pe o platforma petroliera la lucru .. de fapt acolo ar castiga prea mult ...+ ce castiga de la microsoft :P
Nokia loves Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteMisery loves company.
Instead of Nokia catapulting WinPhone7 into a relevant market position, I predict that WinPhone7 will be the straw that broke the Nokia camel's back.
Valentin: pe altea ieftine este deja Simbian, dar variante mai slabe.
ReplyDeleteThis is the recent evolution of Nokia's stock price:

You can clearly see insider trading when the information leaked out yesterday (Feb 10), then the actual carnage when the announcement was made today.
I pretty much echo your comments nicu. This hasn't just been a betrayal and complete change in strategy for other business partners, but for customers like us as well, in my opinion. I'm not going to wait for Nokia to see the fallacy in this; and at least I'm free from hankering for a MeeGo phone.
ReplyDeleteProbably getting an HTC Desire Z soon.
Heh, I don't know the details about the deal, but I've always bought my mobile phone based on specs and design alone (but heck, I always buy almost low-end models without zillions of features I don't need). I don't use any ideology here and won't in the future. And yes, I've been always using nokia phones and my next phone will also probably be some cheap (around 100 euro) nokia with nice design, colour display and bluetooth :-D
ReplyDeletei put my money where my mouth is every time i can, from operating systems to... beer
ReplyDeleteI agree with nicu my next phones will be with Linux/Android and i will start to avoid recommending nokia(windows phones) to friends/family . I fact most of my friends use android on phones so no worry for me
ReplyDeleteBut if we all unite and ban windows phones from our live we can destroy nokia brand by bad mouth
think 1000 x linux users speaking bad about nokia
to their families and friends (use the social network that you have, they all abused us with windows crap anyway)
