I think you can use simple ideas to great success, using what you’ve already got. Such as combining a number pad with a touch screen is a niche that no one else is doing. It would enhance existing Symbian phones in an instant.

AFAIK, Windows Phone 7 still has good old Windows Mobile under the hood. And .NET is not native platform but runs on top of WinMo (more specifically, Silverlight and XNA runtime .NET assemblies). Qt has already been ported to WinMo.

Mixing managed/unmanaged code is completely possible and actually frequent in the desktop world as one tends to mix native DLL’s with C#. Just take a look at GPU stuff and you know what I mean.

Nokia just need 2 stick with their Symbian & Meego,with Qt they have all the power.

They need 2 release their phones faster,close 2 announcement,

Forget about WP7 or Adroid,they’re just too weak.

Tomi Ahonen does have good insight to Nokia, but even he is painfully old-fashioned in some ways.

If that’s the CEO’s strategy then maybe Elop should be the one going somewhere else. Symbian is still no.2. It’s great to be in 2nd position. Elop should be watching that racing car movie “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)”.
In the movie Ricky comes second and imagines he’s on fire. Same with Elop, Symbian comes second and he imagines the platforms on fire.
Hey Elop looks like Ricky Bobby only 15yrs older.

I get your point then maybe we don’t need the CEO.

What I’ve noticed is that good phones launched not that long ago, but now forgotten and supeceded, never fulfilled their potential. Even when the OS was S60 3rd edition. Some nice apps work beautifully, The Trainline is a good example. We’ve got lost somewhere trying to be the latest and greatest.

Android trolls, go away …

If the world ends today, Nokia will not adopt Android as the first option.

You are basically clueless. Google\s cloud services don\t bring much new value to Nokia, except google mail and google search making some sense. Android is so ugly and dirty, just like monkey’s ass …
