Can you imagine Android on this

In terms of looks its nothing like a desire

Hopefully. Android ICS will support button-less phones so if Cynogenmod can get their ROM on that phone it would be perfect.

Really? Is that so? Had no idea there was a desire with 1GB ram, 16gb on-board storage, a 8Mp camera with auto-focus Carl Zeiss, wide-angle lens and a 3.9" AMOLED display.
Still waiting for an HTC that can record video in something other than .3gp

Why must every promising new mobile platform be ported to Android? Meego is awesome as it is. It's tragic that they are just aborting it by the roadside.

Cynogenmod already incorporated the UI for button-less devices as seen on HP's Touchpad running 2.3 so no need to wait for ICS but yeah that would be a bonus.

And seeing that Meego = Linux at the core, same as Android I dont think it will be to hard to get the driver modules into an Android build.
The N900 also from Nokia use to be on Meamo (Old Meego) and got it

Because Nokia already abandoned Meego meaning it will have virtually no developer support. Only hope for this phone is Android.

Meego may get future support from Intel and others, but the phone itself still relies on Nokia for official updates.

they dropped Symbian as well but we still getting suport for it (and for another year at least) so im hoping the same can be said for meego
 
They should be able to get android working on it as it runs mego which is also linux. But MeeGo should be cool too.

Hope that feature makes it in...

But with that processor, the apps wont be running as fast and smoothly as Android phones in that price range. Also no Android Market with auto-update. You will have to find your apps elsewhere and manually look for and download updates.

Since all the worthwhile apps will be on Android, this phone may as well run Android.

I'd love to see Meego take off like Android but Nokia's stupid decisions have killed my dreams there :(
Maybe someone else will save it, I really hope so.
 
In my opinion nokia made the dumbest move ever going with WP7. Nokia has always been great in terms of providing the hardware and latest features,all that was lacking was a good OS like android.

Stupid stupid company. I think nokia will be a forgotten name in 2 years time...sadly.

I reckon they went to WP7 mainly cuz they didn't just want to go with the flow. I'm sure if Nokia would have jumped earlier they would have gone droid but no since everyone else had gone droid they needed something different...that should have been MeeGo...but unfortunately it's WP7.


That said if WP7 has any chance then it's with Nokia's might behind it.

If Nokia went with Android they would be entering into a very wide pool of intense competition and very little product differentiation. There are dozens of manufacturers competing in the same Android space, understandably because it's a free and well-featured OS. But Nokia needed to differentiate on OS and on handset quality - I believe going Android would have strongly diluted their impact in the market.

What is the diffrance, they dont have to do Android only. like all the other manufacturer's also dont do only Android phones .

Samsung, HTC and even LG they use mixed WP7, Bada, Android, They only have more Android phones because there is a higher demand for Android than the others, if there was a higher demand on WP7 I am sure they would have rolled out more Microsoft phones.

Nokia is shooting themselves in the foot by supporting only one OS. (Symbian/Meego does not count as they said themselves they planning to end these)

It may be possible in the future but they were already in a situation where their product divisions were ridiculously fragmented. They were supporting Meego halfheartedly; still trying to make Symbian work; selling bottom-barrel hardware to the emerging markets - and their market share was nosediving. So the only reasonable approach for them was to cut the fat and focus on one clear OS platform, and in their view (rightly I think) the Android market was already overly saturated and too difficult to differentiate with branding. Plus partnering semi-exclusively with Microsoft gave them access to funding and probably software support in the same way that Google's Nexus partners receive.
