No insight needed. Elop said Google didn't want to give them any input/advance info into
Android and they had no way to differentiate properly with it. MS gave them input into WP and they feel they have a bigger chance of differentiating with it.
That is pretty much what they tried to do though, and the thing is they simply could not do it. I do not understand the reasons why exactly, but it's not like Nokia did not see this same fact and try.
Too many managers managing away at too many units each doing their own thing. As Apple have shown, the best way to get anywhere is to have one man who has veto power and a sense of where he wants to take the product. I think this is what Elop - love him or hate him - is bringing to the table. He's taking Nokia down the WP path, and while it might not be the Meego path we'd like at least they're no longer a company developing 2 operating systems with neither going anywhere.
The won't fold, but they're getting left behind. I love my slow, crash-prone N97 but if they don't have something speedy with a meego paint job by Q3 next year I'm going to have to seriously reconsider not jumping ship to HTC.
The only thing Nokia needs to ditch is the bureaucracy. It has way too many divisions each wanting to keep features to themselves. They need to combine their E and N series and have a total of no more that 3 smartphones - entry-, mid- and highlevel. They could go up to 6 models if they offer each of the 3 variants with either touch or touch/slide keyboard, but no more than that. They have to many differing visions because of their different devisions. Having one person in charge is essentially the only way to go, since it gets rid of the in-fighting which is currently sinking them. If you want proof, just look to Apple. One gigantic asshole running the show and in 4 years they've turned themselves into the standard the old guard are playing catch-up to.
I don't know about this. As far as I'm aware MS gives you both the x86 and x64 version when you buy Win7. You can't really blame luddites for then not knowing the difference between the two. Same with people buying pre-installed - the type of person who doesn't know about x64 probably doesn't need it. MS' horrible version system has nothing to do with it.

They probably had a contract with Intel that they had to release at least one product featuring Meego.
Nevermind school kids, half the people I know under 35 have a Blackberry specifically because of BBM.
No, you're thinking of the dreaded warezwolf, sworn enemy of Abriaaham von Helsing.

$200 for 2.4GB of data is a good price? Careful you don't spill that glass of Koolaid you're drinking sparky.
He's dead?
and loving it!
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?
You don't seem to have looked very hard. The Nokia page on GSM Arena is packed with phones meeting your specifications.

My cell data usage is ~3GB for this month. Yea wifi tethering!
And how would you suggest they remedy this situation? You can't really lay blame on MS for people not knowing the difference between x86 and x64.
DDR3 RAM for the i3, i5 and i7 is tripple channel, 2GBx3 = 6GB
One, Two, Three, Four. Four. Ah ah ah ah. Remind us how many titles other there are on Steam again?
I'm guessing op renamed his AV programs after downloading and didn't have a goddamned clue which was applicable to which version.

Yeah, that's why SC2 an D3 have LAN support. O, wait...
A mach here, a mach there and soon you are talking real machs.
Old McDonald had a scramjet?
