But... but, what you just described, in reverse what happened to Internet Tablet Talk.... it went from that general purpose name to Talk.Maemo.Org, which basically seals the deal for this site.

And MeeGo.com seems to be less about community and more about... well, I've yet to figure that out.

But there's All About MeeGo that just started up. And again, that's too specific of a name given your prior post's advice.

So with that said... where's the logic? Symbian just got released to open source. I thought that was a good thing. But it seems to be considered a dead OS now by the above posts.

Wouldn't labeling Symbian dead be a bad thing? I'm seriously confused.

My advice? Drop symbian and Nokia when MeeGo and Symbian 4 are about a year old. At least then you'll have a better idea of their direction...Personally, I think this is gonna be Nokia's most exciting season coming up.

No...I've learned my lesson. We said the same thing when the N97 was coming out. That was gonna be the flagship and it was gonna kick all other phone butts. Well...we know how that turned out.

Then the N900 came along and even though Nokia never touted it as a flagship, it was supposed to be their most advanced device. Well...as advanced devices go...the N900 can't do simple things that my phones from 4 years ago could do. What good is it if a phone can launch a space shuttle but can't remember the playback position of podcasts and videos?

In any case. Nokia is gonna fade into the background like Sony Ericsson. The ppl at Symbian Guru know it. I know it. There's just some people that haven't figured it out yet.

It is amazing how many people got tricked by the N97. I knew that it wasnt a great phone by the lack of a gpu. Seriously, did you all not see the lack of hardware muscle? The N97 never had flagship hardware to begin with. Seems to me that many were tricked by the muscle car qwerty ant touchscreen exterior and didn't see the 4 cylinder engine beneath. I made the decision to stick with my N82 and quake trilogy and I still don't regret it..

Don't believe the hype, it is opinion. Hardware is factual. As bad as the N900 Software support may be, you cant change the fact that it is a powerful piece of tech and that is what keeps the N900 successful within realistic expectations.. What is there to save the N97? Software? no Hardware? no Come on, what did people expect? Take away the GPUs from all leading phones and OSes, Iphone, Android highend, WebOs Windows Phone 7 and the ALL become "meh" and lose their flagship status, wow factor, versatilty, adaptability to hardware acclelerated games and UIs and the are delegated down to midrange smartphones. Soooooooooo really, what did everyone expect the N97 to do? Were people not aware of such a hardware shortcoming OR was it their first Nokia smartphone? These questions have been bothering me since the launch of all Nseries that lacked GPUs. They all lost their right to the Nseries name in my opinion and were destined to be beat by flashier phones with GPU accelerated UIs and games.

I can't be the only one who saw non GPU nokias as a recipe for disappointment. Didn't some of you have phones with GPUs before buying the N97?

One vendor / OS - specific fansite less, is one more step towards a saner society.

There was some discussion about this on Qaiku yesterday: http://www.qaiku.com/go/7stm/

In high level I think Nokia's strategy with MeeGo and Qt is a sound one, but they really need to communicate it better.

that probably explains all of it.

The n97 has been out for a while now, why did they suddenly get frustrated with Nokia now?

So again they're mistaken? How can they "figure out" something which is not true?

A person who calls himself "Guru" and opens and shuts down more fan-sites per year than the average American even visits... Come on. You don't ask real questions about this, do you?
