Would you prefer that I paste the whole article here, or do you just think that the ideas are not worth sharing?

I am fairly new to blogging, but from all the people I have spoken to, and everything I have read, commenting on peoples blogs with links to more complete comments is the essence of blog conversation.]]>Jan 28th 2008 7:03AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/28/nokia-acquires-trolltech-the-biggest-little-company-youve-ne/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/28/nokia-acquires-trolltech-the-biggest-little-company-youve-ne/Nokia knows Symbian doesn't cut it. That's why they've been building up a Linux platform (Maemo) for the last few years.

This isn't a major shift for Nokia, it's adding to an already building tool set for them.]]>Jan 28th 2008 8:52AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/28/nokia-acquires-trolltech-the-biggest-little-company-youve-ne/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/01/28/nokia-acquires-trolltech-the-biggest-little-company-youve-ne/You are talking about North America where Nokia has 4-5% market share....
I dont see any problems thought if there is problem it is no doubt OS that they need to work.
S60 3th edition sf2 seems really good and brings much needed eye candy and almost next to that will be released the first s60 touch(s60 5th edition and will support all apps of s60 3th edition)) that btw will be used in non touch devices too and by then i dont see any problems of Nokia holding it's control in smartphones.

OS X is amazing, but Apple aint going to make real portfolio of phones(at least 3-6 phones in a year)and so it wont be a threat for big players globally you need to remember that iphone made the impact in USA and Nokia dosent have anything exept one N series device that has American 3G and it's not selling in any carrier so OS X is eating Windows.

Android is totally a different story this will be a big player in future and who knows if Nokia jumps in, but it wont be easy as Nokia owns 49% of Symbian.

Symbian will stay number one in the future, but Android will eat some if it's market share and Windows keeps sucking. Smartphone market will be bigger by then too so i'm sure they(Android and Symbian) will do good.

You can go and say these things in European forum and you will see how stongly they feel about Symbian. Try example Mobile-Review. Symbian has(Nokia)enough of brand power to keep it number one for some time even if they produced shit that s60 almost is now, but the current s60 is also living it's last days new os that i talked above might be present already in the next and N and E series phones that are coming in 3GSM."
