1,000 Nokia employees walk out after Microsoft deal, stock drops 14%

SMH Idiots

I think its also safe to say not everyone was happy with the status quo in Symbian or MeeGo. Its taking a chance with Windows Phone. What would people say if they went with Android? Either way they have put in their chips and a year from now we will see how it shakes out.

Carriers can only block one update per year, wp7 won't be like android with everyone running different versions at once .

No..here is how it works..all future updates has the previous updates built in..so if a carrier skips an update..it will be included..BUT..carrier can block all updates indefinitely..aka they can allow updates for 1 year or less and then block all updates from then on to force you to buy a new phone..read what M$ said..they admitted carriers can do that >.>

Nokia makes some great world phones. I was looking forward to trying out windows 7. This may be a good thing. Hope they make a cdma version. Of course nokia hasn't made a phone for sprint in a long time. We'll see what happens.

On the carrier thing and a little off topic, the hd2 got 2 official updates within a year.

EVO launched with an Update... people were complaining that Stores were appling the update while activating phones @ launch... the Update messed up a lot of EVOs... but Evo hasn't been out a year and has several updates hasn't it?

True, I think 2 also. Just saying that the carriers can only block 1 per yr w/wp7...it's supposed to be a system push.

Well thats not too bad for a winmo phone..but then again T-mobile was also first one to upgrade their SGS to froyo..so I am not surprised :/..when was the last update?

Well realistically even the Epic had like 4-5 updates..what we want is "upgrades" aka to froyo >.> lol...but Evo is treated better by sprint in general since its their "june phone"

As I said carriers can choose not to push any update..I dont exactly see a carrier stopping updates in short term unless they feel it will effect their network/profits or etc...but in long term its possible some may choose to block updates to force ya to buy a new device..want me to get you the source?
