It was the main reason harmattan fell so woefully behind. Because of internal bickering, long boring/detailed story. Symbian was deprecated by Nokia themselves many yrs ago. But they just couldn't wean themselves off it. It is well & truly time to let it go. WP mid-to-lower-mid. MeeGo top-end S40 feature-phones Keep the current plan (or similar) for Symbian ..... Disagree about Symbian.

I mean some real time... I think you'll be very impressed ;) Never close your mind to alternatives. I use iOS/Android/Maemo... Played briefly with WP, & will buy a WP soon after I get the N9. Point is, there's no such thing as one OS being hugely superior. Just hugely more market share. Take some time to learn about MeeGo.

It had a small impact.... But there was 2-3 other more significant reasons why harmattan fell so far behind. “when they almost had their payback they switched to meego which delayed their harmattan efforts”
