    The Finnish govt should intervene in Nokia operations. Elop is just bankrupting Nokia and people are losing jobs in Nokia; just because Elop had a deal will Microsoft.

    Please somebody change the CEO of Nokia

          AnonD-5465, 23 May 2012so you are pushing people not to buy 808 and lean towards s... moreNo, you got it wrong IMO. The purpose of this was probably the hype created by the 808. Porting the PureView tech to WP is an EXTREMELY HUGE CHALLENGE. It was created with Symbian, and ONLY Symbian in mind. I bet that any so-called "PureView" tech on WP models will not compare to the 808.

          Along with the flagship Android and Apple phones, the 808 is one of the biggest challengers to the Lumia line so far. Nokia-WP cannot win against Android because of Symbian's rivalry to those OSes. To increase its (Lumia's) chances of going against Android and iOS, they have to eliminate the only rival that they can - Symbian. But still, WP at its current state will NEVER beat Android. Only Symbian can win against it, but Elop sabotaged it.

              I'm Symbian user from the first beginning. Symbian OS is excellent.
              Give think twice about stopping further updates and version of Symbian.
              I see that this software has a future as Meego.
              WP I don't like at all, and never buy one.

                  Belle, Carla, Donna - Nokia, just stop. Folks want apps, not Symbian. It's dated, old, washed-up, kah-put.

                          This is just amazing. First Nokia releases the N8 with the brand new Symbian^3 and more or less 90 days after the brand new OS is released, Elop writes the plataform memo. Now, when lots of people are going crazy about the 808, Elop finds a way to remind people that they should wait for the Windows Phone version. I´m buying the 808. I hope a huge number of people do it and send a clear message to Nokia. We want a real OS - Symbian - and not a bad of copy of iOS!!!

                                I hope this is not true. Nokia is digging its own grave while putting all their eggs in the same basket. The denial of Carla and Donna is a low hit for the remaining bastion of Nokia die-hard fans. I really respect Nokia, I don't love them but I'm respectful for the advances they've bought to the mobile world. But as it seems now, they're gradually sinking. And killing the loyalty from those fans that have Nokia as a lovebrand is definitely not the answer. After several WP disappointments today (app market shut down for non 7.5 users and dropped Skype support for Lumia 610), the things only look worse and worse :s

                                    So what. Symbian is good enough without updates, it's iDroid7 users who always cry for updates, unlocked bootloaders, bug fixes and stuff.

                                        Is this the end of symbian? can someone make me understand why there are news (rumors) that nokia has canceled all plans for Carla or Donna? will Symbian ever support HD (720p) screens? what is the future of Symbian? where is it going and what are we expecting as consumers? are we waiting for Carla and Donna? there's so much news on lumia, so much support but on Symbian? is it dying? i love the 808 pure view, and for sure il buy it.. but what is Nokia doing with Symbian?
