    can Nokia please get their heads outta their asses like Palm finally did. It's time to move on. Symbian had a time and place and its just about over now that they have so much damn competition.

    Nokia once vowed never to make clamshell phones too. So expect Androids soon!

    S60v5 (Symbian^1)is only a transitional OS, for nokia to stay in the game while they get ready for the offensive, its basically the old Symbian patched for touch, although the n97 will get better with the v20 update this month.

    I think with the stuff i see happening (check nokia beta labs), the "new" Symbian is maturing quite nicely. By Symbian^4 (1 year from now) i'm expecting excellent things, especially with both Mameo and Symbian using Qt, it will be very streamlined and good for devs.

    Why would Nokia fragment its environments for the devs by introducing Android. Especially with them having a bit of a bad rep for doing just that (ie. changing APIs, etc)

    I can only imagine Nokia's head office, akin to Hitler's conference room in Downfall, where the head honcho is reading the charts showing declining sales, and he yells at his development staff for not making headway with Symbian and Maemo, only to finally break down and tell one of his staffers to get Google on the phone.

    I think you're underestimating Maemo's potential. The Symbian platform may be outdated but Nokia definitely has some good ideas under its sleeve. Nokia produces both hardware and platforms and resorting to Android so quickly would be a cop-out.

    There's rumours about a complete Symbian redesign... and Maemo looks fantastic!! No need for Android here.

    Going down with the ship are they? Tough talk when they're Motorola #2. Lets see what happens in a couple of years when they start to cry.

    Thats a shame I like a lot of Nokia designed phones and from my personal exp they are the best on the ATT networks for some reason. But that Symbian OS has to go, its really bland. I haven't used Maemo but I bet its not as cool as Android.

    This is a great reason for Twitter implementing (and then immediately removing) not sending out RTs to people that you aren't following. I don't need to see a response to someone I'M not following.


    Anyone know of a way/software that allows you to do just that?
