I like these statement made by them especially the 2nd one...

from source
http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/nokia-m...pping-this-year   
"Under the new strategy, MeeGo becomes an open-source, mobile operating system project. MeeGo will place increased emphasis on longer-term market exploration of next-generation devices, platforms and user experiences. Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year."

Likewise, Symbian isn't going away either:

    "With Nokia's planned move to Windows Phone as its primary smartphone platform, Symbian becomes a franchise platform, leveraging previous investments to harvest additional value. This strategy recognizes the opportunity to retain and transition the installed base of 200 million Symbian owners. Nokia expects to sell approximately 150 million more Symbian devices in the years to come"

Do yourself a favour : skip MeeGo phone if Nokia only release single model this year.
You don't want to be guinea pig like Maemo users.

With this decision,eventually Nokia will receive backlash from linux community.

They may have to.Looks like it's not all rose & sunshine after Nokia & Microsoft announce this "partnership".
So far the majority of comment look negative.

In case WP7 + Nokia device sale failed to meet expectation after few months Nokia might have to push MeeGo back.
Nokia already pissed some MeeGo/Maemo devs when they changed core stuff of Maemo -> MeeGo(GTK -> QT,Gecko ->Webkit etc2).Some devs hesitate to join MeeGo project before persuaded by Intel.
Intel flying solo now? laugh.gif

About Symbian I don't think you have to be scared of future support.There should still be some support,at very least bugfixes.Maybe the number of new symbian device release will be reduced but there will be new symbian devices.

Is Nokia really that financially capable?
This is something like Najib trying to buy Man Utd.

Woops.Just reread his comment.
I guess Microsoft is capable of buying Nokia.

Already people are accusing Elop as trojan horse in Nokia laugh.gif

Windows Phone 7

Key features:
Premium mobile OS (high minimum hardware requirements)
Clean, uncluttered interface with distinctive design language
Easy and thumbable user interface
Smooth operation with cool animations and transition effects
A fresh start with no legacy support needed
Backed up and developed by one of the largest software companies in the world
Excellent MS Office mobile implementation
Top-notch social integration
Excellent cloud services integration (SkyDrive, Windows Live, Xbox Live)
Wireless syncing of multimedia content
Internal memory expandable via microSD card slot (where available)

Main disadvantages:
No system-wide file manager
No videocalling
Limited third-party apps availability
No Bluetooth file transfers
No USB mass storage mode
No multitasking
No copy/paste
Too dependent on Zune software for computer file management and syncing
No music player equalisers
No Flash or Silverlight support in the web browser
No sign of free Bing maps Navigation so far
No DivX/XviD video support
No internet tethering support
New ringtones available only through the Marketplace
Swapping memory card requires hard reset; cards not readable by computer

Seriously Nokia? I mean Symbian could have plenty of issue but at least it can do majority of stuff listed in WP7 disadvantages.

From throwing fuel to their platform now they are throwing C4 at their platform.

This is what happens when you hire an American from Microsoft to take over your company. I bet Stephen Elop doesn't even know how to use a Symbian phone.  shakehead.gif

Not exactly.I remember he mentioned last time that he's using E7.

This is just calm before storm.There will be Financial Briefing later where Stefan "Trojan" Elop will present the full plan.And then there is MWC on 14/02.The should be couple more bombs there.

Already Nokia share down more than 9%.

I'm partially sorry to say this at a symbian device phone:

I think it's good that Nokia finally decided to kill symbian but going WP7 is really really wrong...
But since they have some amount of control over the OS it's might me better than regular WP7 devices.

I guess we'll start seeing Nokia WP7 in Nokia World 2011.

In the past, Garmin also available for Windows Mobile..probably WP7 also possible just like Garmin on S^3 although meant for S60V3

I kinda remember my friends Omnia having Garmin. It was supported with Win Mobile 6.5 right?

QUOTE(genus @ Feb 11 2011, 09:37 PM)
This is the requirement to run a WP7 platform, will n8 hardware able to run WP7???
http://www.gsmarena.com/windows_phone_7_ha...r-news-1513.php

No.Elop just said that existing Nokia device like N8(yes,he did point out N8) cannot run WP7 due to hardware restriction.
But I think if Nokia want it they can have butchered WP7 in N8.

@aspire
Garmin iOS don't support Malaysian map right?

many users hate Nokia now but don't you at least want to try out the next "microbian" device itself?  brows.gif

and then we can see how it goes from there...  laugh.gif

But you have to know that Nokia's WP7 will be considerably different from other WP7.
Nokia have greater control of the OS compared to other OEM.

But still,it's WP7...

QUOTE(genus @ Feb 11 2011, 10:16 PM)
that's mean E7 and n8 is low end lo....

I brought my n8 for >1500 just for means of low end!  mad.gif  vmad.gif

anybody thinking of this...

1. Steve Ballmer asked Mr. Cobb help for an Inception
2. Cobb's team together with Ballmer went to Elop's dream
3. They planted the idea so that Nokia CEO thinks that Windows Phone 7 should be Nokia's "primary smarphone platform"
4. Mission Accomplished!!

it's a joke anyway  sweat.gif

everyone keep complain Nokia partnership with Microsoft, so can someone tell me what is the reason Nokia choice Microsoft instead of android??????

Well...According to Mr Stephen "Trojan" Elop,if Nokia adopt Android as primary OS they will be just another Android OEM without much difference compared to current Android OEM.
By adopting WP7 & gaining special access to it Nokia is trying to making WP7 with their own flavor.Or kinda is.

You may have to watch the presentation video with the media Q&A session to understand this rubbish move by Nokia.

even nokia own staff piss off....Over 1000 nokians walked out of office in Tampere, Finland.

Expect lots of people getting fired.Looking at Nokia's R&D cut & Mr Elop's repeated announcement that there will be job cut,I think there will be a lot people fired in Nokia.
