They bought Nokia, they had the best mobile operative system ever created.
Meego, Linux, Qt.
Insanely good developing experience, a decade ahead what iOS or Android had.
It could have been the efficient, user friendly open source rival to the Objective C and Java.
They literally missed the opportunity to make a decent and open phone and it was all by design. They killed Nokia on purpose, right when the N9 was released.
- pjmlp 5y agoTyping this on a Nokia phone, and former employee. The biggest blame lies on the Nokia management board and the bonus they promised Elop, when he managed to sell the Mobiles business unit. Fully agree with the development experience though, with C++/CX and .NET Native, with the current state better not even bother, though.
