Today I decided to give up on Nokia.
For a long time the image that Nokia painted of it self was a picture of internal fights, of too many managers fighting for control of small issues and of having no one at the helm. They lost their target of creating something great to focus on petty internal fights and divisions.
For quite a long time I waited for the phone from Nokia that would again rule the market, a phone with a good software stack and reliable hardware. But also a phone with good support for indie developers, a phone that you could play with and learn.
Nokia had the know how to do such phone but not the management courage to do it. Now it's all over.
Maemo, Meego were two software stack that might have provided a breath of new air into Nokia but will now just fade away. Samsung seams to be able to create a software stack out of thin air while Nokia.. oh well, you get the picture.
So today I trashed my Nokia phone, deleted my Ovi account, and moved on to greener pastures.
I deleted the account as I have no trust that my private information would be safe from a certain major Nokia parter that has a rather bad reputation when in come to privacy and respect for the costumer.
So long, and thanks for a broken heart...
