          Adam, 27 Jun 2011Dear Nokia, Please forgive me for abandoning you to the do... moreWith you there. I love Nokia's phones and have been using them for years. I had a 5800 until a few months ago and the speakers were exceptional on it. But yeah, Android.

          You should have got in bed with Google guys, not Microsoft. Nokia's build with Google's software and reach? I'd have sold a kidney for such a phone.

            again - sorry Nokia - too little - too late. The N9 should have been where you going but instead - ANDROID WINS THE DAY.

              Anonymous, 26 Jun 2011next year, we will see a Nokia phone that runs iOS :)sure! Apple will buy 5$ priced shares of Nokia and start sueing all other mobile manufacturers for patents... or may be 4$ shares... ;-)

                Dear Nokia,
                Please forgive me for abandoning you to the dogs of the mobile world. I had to choose Android

                over you even though I absolutely adore and worship the way you build your classy phones. I

                love the long battery life and the freedom the ruggedness of your build gave me. I still love the

                way your menus were designed and the photos I took with your cameras are still the only

                memories I have left of my the days worth remembering.

                I hated the way you enclosed your apps in a proprietary cloud and kept them enclosed via

                restrictive practises. 5800 was such a clumsy attempt at creating a 5800 smartphone, I was

                absolutely offended at the wasted effort
                Can you explain why you simply did not copy the iOS just like Android.
                Continuity and compliance in Code bases are for developers, users like a fresh way to interact

                with their device. A user likes a fresh new interface with just enough familiarity to get 2-3

                particular tasks done. The rest are any way superfluous.

                Corporate Types can create castles out of thin air. But Marketing has to change with the times.

                In the end Marketing calls the shots over what gets prototyped and finalised.

                Adam

                        if nokia can release an Android mobile sales will go off the roof 1. they are top handset on the market. it will prove how nokia fits in the market with andriod as they havent released any other OS phone other than symbian.

                        nokia N8 with android.....

                          My dream is to see nokia runing android, well samsung did realy god job wit gs2 but it lacks solid feel in your hand where nokia was olways was good in it. i'm realy sad that theyr plan with wp7, but who know maybe in a long term they will win, rimember win 8 will be compatible with all cpu's including ARM and all VIA , qualcom. not just amd and intel so that might bee nokias secret horse they are buting all the money on. who knows.

                            I honestly believe this one to be photoshopped, there's no mention of Stephen Elop or any other Nokia/Microsoft executive mentioning it. And Nokia is being now pushed forward due to Microsoft's deal which gave them a cash injection, why would they want to switch to Android which is predicted to be the phone with the highest market share followed by WP7 in 2015? I don't hate on Android though, I like WP7 honestly.

                                since nokia (elop) wont support and producing any meego phones anymore its all becomes clear that it was war between microsoft and linux that carry on to smartphone realms. as you may know meego and android is linux based,and nokia is now 'microsoft based' so probably there is no chance that nokia will using android atleast until they free themselves from microsoft tentacle

                                      I think that Nokia will release N9 with Meego and then spread a costumised version of Android , then we will see 100000 pages talking about a new xxx team who ported android to Nokia
