you guys shouldn't all blame android.
the new gingerbread is really nice and have some great features and google isn't as lazy as nokia.you can root your phone too and you have also some kind of "terminal".
if you guys want to wait for the next "real open source" phone then good luck with that.mybe 2012 will come something.
but there are many really great android phones with great specs coming and i will definetly upgrade.
regards
I agree, though, while the Maemo-faithful continue to hold strong to their faith and counting the days on their prayer beads for the day their almighty savior MeeGo comes out to redeem their souls and save them from the evils of Google, iPhone, Blackberry and everybody else they think is the devil... the Nokia competitors continue to actually innovate and improve their devices and push into the year 2011, while the most advanced smartphone Nokia has, the N900?, remains stuck in the year 2009.
And you wonder why I suggested that Nokia might be behind the curve? Even Apple has at least hinted that they're working on "the next thing" and people can generally guess what that means and feel assured that it'll be competitive. I don't sense that most people feel the same confidence in Nokia, I fear. I certainly don't.
Do you think Nokia is better not to address such concerns? Do you think they're not concerned at all? Do you think that Nokia can maintain its current perch at the top of "the most smartphones sold" over the next year or two with their current method of operating? How do you think Nokia could do better, or do you think they're doing just fine?

Oh and I'm not offended or anything, just offering another viewpoint.

to be really honest, all the new phone hardware specs i've been seeing this year are quite enticing, and like many others i'm disappointed with nokia's lack of support or news on new devices or meego, whatever its state. But when it comes down to brass tacks, i just don't see anything out in the marketplace that can do all the things my n900 ( outdated it may be ) can, and thats what really matters to me as an end-user at the end of the day. Its a big part of the reason i stuck with my n82 for so long even with all the new higher end touch screen phones that came out in 2009.
I might consider the Motorola Atrix when it comes out as a secondary phone, but its wholly dependent on whether it'll be able to replace my laptop for extensive word/excel/etc processing.

Where people even expecting something from Nokia in CES?!
I mean there was no Nokia keynote and not even booth. Nokia even said all this on their conversation blog. Nokia has never been big in CES as MWC is just around the corner
MWC has always been big event for Nokia and Elop will be one of the 4 main keynote speakers in MWC with CEO's from Qualcomm, Intel, and ATT.

Here's all the keynote speakers.
Nokia's keynote.
Actually reading the agenda page it seems like maybe nothing will be announced in the keynote discussions from the manufacturers. Only Google and Microsoft got keynotes just for them. HTC, Nokia, SE, RIM all who got keynote speakers got their turn somewhere after the first day and are part of a bigger discussion with many speakers.
Generally the devices have been announced on the first day of MWC and people have been able to try the phones out on the manufacturers stands.
Samsung that will for sure have devices announced in MWC does not have keynote speaker but a big stand in MWC still.

I would like to take this time to invite everyone here to take a moment and thank Nokia, that in their infinite wisdom allows us some.. time in our wake for the N9.
'Tis time to reflect upon ourselves... whether we've all given back enough to the community, whether we've done our best to make use of our devices optimally and whether we're worthy of the N9.
Some time to recover our wallets, to ensure that we all would have a wad of cash to give Nokia as offerings for the mighty N9.
To enlighten ourselves of the GNU ways and GNU age thinking... so we can decipher the riddle that MeeGo is.

I wonder what all those people who bash Nokia on a daily basis say when (and if) the N9 will be released and it'd be an awesome device?
"It lacks the logo of a bitten apple"?
"It doesn't spy on you when you go to the toilets"?
Nah why am I worried? I bet they could find something to whine about pretty quick...
Btw, latest rumors say that the N9 will be introduced at MWC 2011, next month...
