By the way, why is this on Engadget Classic and not Mobile? It is Nokia news, Chris...]]>May 20th 2008 3:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 20th 2008 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 20th 2008 3:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 20th 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/
I don't know why you're praising the SE UI so much, though. I've hated it from day one and feel it to be horrible... It's something that I would have used when I was about 10. It's probably just a matter of opinion though as I've been using S60 for the past 3 years and feel it to be the best mobile OS available, with every new S60 device I got, I never once felt lost because the basic structure is always pretty much the same.]]>May 20th 2008 4:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 20th 2008 6:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 20th 2008 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/I really like the S60 OS, but I think the Nokia tube ( which I believe will be the toushcreen phone from Nokia ), will have S70 OS.]]>May 20th 2008 5:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/
Once Nokia's share of Symbian was capped at 49% (even though de facto managerial control requires 70%), development of their own Linux-based platform began in earnest. Indeed, many development resources were pulled from the Series 90 (Nokia 7700/7710) programs and put toward the Maemo (Nokia 770) project to flesh out the platform. (Both devices were based on the TI OMAP 1510 architecture)

Nokia is increasingly exerting proprietary control over Maemo via closed development branches, which will accelerate after the Trolltech acquisition is complete. This is one of the reasons why multiple developers have left Nokia's Maemo development team, citing philosophical differences within the company.

You'll soon see the S60 UI evolve to run atop the Maemo platform in place of Symbian. At that point, Nokia will own the whole widget, which is exactly what they've always wanted.]]>May 20th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/GIMME!!

I want a E71 on T-Mobile-USA WCDMA, running Maemo with Android extensions, or running Android, that can tether (via Wifi or Bluetooth) to my other devices (MID, UMPC, Laptop, etc.).

Ideally, using a T-Mo-USA plan that combines the "Total Internet only" plan ($40/mo), Unlimited Messaging ($15/mo), and my choice of "Pay per day" or "Pay as you go" for voice. Then I'd be in pig heaven.]]>May 20th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://gettingstartedopenmoko.wordpress.com/2008/05/19/openmoko-software-update/

Sort out your UI before worrying about what's underneath it. ]]>May 21st 2008 3:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/May 21st 2008 8:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/20/nokia-definitely-preparing-linux-based-phones-flavor-unknown/
