Yes, why all the hurt from Android fans whichever way Nokia goes. The thing that a lot of people missed is the fact that Nokia is doing what Nokia thinks it's best for Nokia. And going android wasn't in their opinion in the best interest of Nokia.

But then again, it's the norm for anyone supporting open source acting like juvenile jerks. I mean, in discussing Nokia, Microsoft, Symbian and WP7, why does the Android contigent need to come here and make noise because Nokia didn't go the Android route. Not just that, hoping the partnership would fail?

Symbian supporters have every right to question the move, because they are the most affected ones concerning this decision. But whatever Nokia chooses doesn't really affect Android as it is right now. Heck, you have HTC, Samsung, LG, a bunch of Chinese OEM, Toshiba, Acer, a bunch of Chinese Tablet OEM, CSL, Spice, a bunch of Indian Operater, Google, etc etc that is producing Android phones. You still want Nokia? Why? So Google can know the exact moment and exact time you pick your nose, and try and sell you a nose picker? What? You didn't know that there's no such thing as free?

Everyone in the open source world hated the fact that Microsoft still rules the OS world, despite all their attempts otherwise. Problem is, they are not coming up with a decent alternative to Windows. They had a chance with all the Vista brouhaha, but they didn't even manage to take advantage of that. Why?

Over sized Ego, and a Self-Serving Ethnocentric view. To them, Nokia not using Android, is an Affront to the Best Operating System for Mobile there is, and should be dealt by putting the other platform down as often and as frequent as they can. Never mind the weaknesses of Android, whoever points that out is a Traitor to the movement.

Take it in that context next time an Android fan comes here and start spouting the Android gospel.

Competition is good.

Why so much want Nokia to go for Android. WP could be a good thing for Nokia.

They made their decision and it is set in stone. No point to whine about not having Android.

You totally hit all the right points regarding open source and hatred towards Microsoft Windows.

Ok, I truely ah-gree with this. Solid point there

The reason why I agree that Nokia didn't take android OS, is because there are alot OEM, companies from Korea, Japan and bla2 producing android phone (oh gosh, lots of android phone sometimes make me sick). So, instead everyone using android OS (excluding iPhone), we need something different. Let say, I already have Samsung Galaxy S, why do I need another android phone like HTC Desire HD while I can just go for WP7 phone or Symbian phone or BB? I don't like 2 phone with similar OS. Hey, I'm a gadget geeks, I like something NEW. I haven't try WP7 yet but I criticize it for being NOOB, no copy-paste and multitasking, but a while ago, Microsoft (the one people hate most here), say there will be copy-paste and multitasking. It's a good thing, and I think WP7 would improved with the help of Nokia. As you can see, HTC and LG can't deliver good WP7, they only good delivering android phone. So an unseen future aheads for Microsoft-Nokia partnership strategic alliance, we just have to wait and see.

Competition is good.
