        They should not come with Android. Sailfish OS will be best for them.

              Cenas, 24 Apr 2015It wasn't an OS problem, the problem was Nokia slacking off... moreIt was political anyway. Imagine N808 with its outstanding camera was in development already 5 years when finally was released in 2012. And kept silent about reality. Its releasing was held from political reasons, because it was Symbian. I remember situation in 2008-2010. I had N5320 Xpress Music and then Nokia C5-03. Both phones could be defined as smartphones already. Video calls working on N5320 already through Fring, social networks - ICQ. In this time phones needed only bigger display, faster CPU, more memory. SW was fine.

                          What about jolla meego sailfish and Nokia. I thought they would go together because all of them are former Nokia engineers now working for jolla. It would be much better than android. NSA is watching on android phones. USA will be again in control i dont like that

                            Bring back Meego and Maemo! Android is a disaster it would be better make proper linux os for mobiles. Android requires way to much hardware to run smooth

                                    Nokia need to make it clear in their 2016 advertising what O/S the phone is running. They also need to make some dumb phones those that want one.
