    I wonder if it'll be approved by anything like 99% of phone-buying Nokia customers .... what's left of them?

    I also wonder if new Nokia phones will just resemble existing MS designs, with a Nokia label on them, in a sort-of me-too branding exercise.

    Sad day, IMHO.

    I also wonder how many customers will be happy with this. I know I would prefer Nokia to operate independently. I was sad to here their effort with Meego get scrapped because I'd like to see another, more secure and consumer friendly, OS in the mobile space and Meego seemed promising at one point.

    We will find out eventually but I am not optimistic.
