In the Face of Android, Why Should Nokia Stick With MeeGo? 336
GMGruman writes "In September, Symbian 3 was Nokia's latest great hope for becoming relevant in the modern smartphone market. Now comes word that the Symbian Foundation is shutting down, ending the Symbian 3 and Symbian 4 efforts. Nokia is now banking on MeeGo, a collaboration with Intel whose release date — and fit to smartphones — is highly uncertain. InfoWorld's Ted Samson thinks that it's time for Nokia to swallow its pride and stop pretending it will ship MeeGo in time to matter, and instead consider adopting Android — or even Windows Phone 7, which after all might finally support copy and paste by the time Nokia decides to hitch its mobile wagon to a new horse."

I bought an iPhone: brilliant engineering, highly intuitive.
You mean like brilliantly putting the antenna on the outside of the phone so you could intuitively kill your signal by touching the phone?

Tweak the UI a bit?
Understatement of the thread.
