              Well, I can´t see why WP7 is a better OS than Symbian or Meego. From my viewpoint, I think it´s a risky move. Let´s wait and see what they can do (for real). Inbetween, I expect that Nokia will maintain support to its current phones.

                Oh dear. I've always liked Nokia for their build quality, and I was more than happy with Symbian, even though it does lack the experience of iOS and Android. But now that it is partnering with the WORST platform ever, I doubt the smartphones from Nokia will ever be as enjoyable again. Better stock up on the old ones.

                        I think Nokia is working with Microsoft to prompt their meego OS based laptops. And WM7 to use Nokia's popularity.
                        But this could turn bad. And could be good. But I'm out, I've going with android. FML never thought I'd say this. :[

                              Is making it to the US so important that Nokia is LITERALLY letting go of their "rest of world" market? Anyway, Im done with Nokia. Will always love Symbian though. Never liked this Elop guy from the beginning. But whatz the point of supporting a company that only does what THEY think is best, not what the public at large wants? Im seriously done here, and I'll personally see to it that NONE of my peers and family ever buys Nokia again. Next stop fer me? Probably an iPhone(second choice an HTC Android device)

                                  Y you guys need to understand. Nokia is not making wp7 their primary os. They are making windows phone their primary os. Its gina be something similar to hp and windows 7(pc). These nokia windows phone devices would be marketed as must have for all windows users. its ingenius.

                                        I don't think that nokia working with microsoft is a good idea evry company should be on it's own and things will work out fine for
