ive still got my N8, and although the lack of responsiveness of the device can be frustrating at times, its the only smartphone I can take out with me where I dont have to worry about the battery going flat before the day is out. guess there are pros and cons with everything in life after all. but I wonder if anyone has ever ported android to the N8? maybe just gingerbread cos it only has a single core 680mhz cpu and 256mb of ram anyway lol

well when the first google phone arrived from HTC I dont think anyone thought it would take off. But by the time it did it was too late for nokia.

Nokia had talks with google about making Android fones according to link somebody posted a couple of years back. but Nokia didn't want to sacrifice a few of it's proprietary apps like maps and talks came to nothing...

I think they did know that they needed Android, but elop took over as CEO and the rest is history.. a few staff members left early to carry on working with meego and formed jolla sailfish. so some ppl must have realised the end was in sight..

well elop might be CEO of microsoft pretty soon cos ballmer will be out by the end of the year. lets hope he doesnt re-launch windows vista because that could be more scary than halloween!

if they had knew... they would NEVER lock symbian ! and if they wouldnt lock it, there would be long time for android to success... simple fact - NOKIA FU**ED UP TOTALY and it nobodys fault but their own ! |

@crail | 31 October 13 | |
whats locking symbian got to do with anything? it was down to poor choices by elop like dropping meego and symbian for windows and dropping out near on identical phones with stingy specs. there was no innovation other than n900 and n9/950. meego and symbian were quite open os's really.

the only thing nokia were guilty of was providing continued support for symbian customers. A company that sticks by its user base doesnt deserve this in my opinion. I dont blame the current decision to end symbian support on nokia, its microsoft. And lets not forget that microsoft had originally planned to end support for windows phone 8 next summer, untill they decided to buy that is.
