Google comes along, puts out a really solid Open Source OS, and for whatever reason, Nokia just can't buy in, and produce handsets that run Android, oh no, they've got to start from scratch and build another one.

Nokia is a joke. They've been a joke for years. Oh well, just sit back and watch their marketshare continue to fall, that'll tell the story. ]]>May 15th 2009 1:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/People have been predicting the downfall of Nokia for how long now? 10 years?

@Ihatemorons You must be filled with such self loathing, the worlds biggest phone manufacturer doesn't have to jump into Google's pocket, they are still selling more phones than Apple, RIM and HTC combined, what a joke eh? imagine measuring success by actual sales and not fanboism, iDiot.]]>May 15th 2009 2:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/
So in your dream world each and every hardware manufacturer would seize all OS development and jump into the Google ship? Shee...

Do you know ANYTHING at all about the advantages of competition? Or in-house software development for that matter?

Why on earth would Nokia "just buy in and produce handsets that run Android"? They are a business (and a freaking excellent one at it) and need to be fighting against competition at all times by any (legit) means necessary. This LEGIT fighting will ALWAYS serve customer's best interest. This is economics for dummies. Like you for example.

Try to get it that Nokia is out there trying to make money. Loads of it. Their interests don't include pleasing the uncommon morons like you.

So far (and for a long time in a fiercely battled market) Nokia's succeeded in their primary goal. MAKING DOUGH.]]>May 15th 2009 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 1:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 3:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 5:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 1:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://maemo.org/news/announcements/intel_and_nokia_announce_the_ofono_project/

s60 is pretty solid; maemo is, let's face it, a toy even after 4 years in production.

BTW, Maemo is far from a toy. It requires half a brain to use, something you lack apparently. ]]>May 15th 2009 4:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/May 15th 2009 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/15/nokia-and-intel-collaborating-on-new-linux-based-phone-os-called/Buying Symbian has been a problem for Nokia:
- transition of Symbian folks == difficulties with the dev culture == politics
- opening sourcing symbian == more difficulties in getting a F/OSS version working with a phone in h/w development.
- Qt == more organization problems galore.

A due to the competition, Nokia needs to ship phones with advanced features 'yesterday'. That adds decision pressure.

Hence, likely want happened over the last year (typical in any big corporation) in Nokia R&D:
1. A symbian camp formed. They merrily build their smoke stack and sell it to the product mgrs.
2. An Android camp formed (yes, there's likely a team of Android devs in Nokia). They merrily build their smoke stack and sell it to the product mgrs.
3. A motorola/LiMo camp formed. They merrily build their smoke stack and sell it to the product mgrs.
4. A bunch of friends from Intel talk with friends in nokia, hence a fono camp formed. And they will merrily build their smoke stack and sell it to the product mgrs.
5. A bunch of friends from Verizon/AT&T talk with friends in nokia, hence a ???? camp WILL BE formed. And they will merrily build their smoke stack and eventually sell it to the product mgrs.

And the product managers(s) throw their hands in the air (and quit) cause they are shipping with S60 series 99? on their hardware cause it's the only thing that works today.
