Excellent article but it still doesn't explain apparent "hatred" towards N9 and everything related to it. You cannot find it on Nokia support pages, for example. On the products list it's always on the third or fourth page after a lot of old Symbian phones (I'm browsing localised version for my country). It's like they're (current Nokia management) somewhat ashamed of it.



Well, they probably are. They spent 6 months badmouthing the entire Maemo/Meego operation, heralding the Microsoft deal with much fanfare, and then it turned out the N9 was a peach after all, with a possibly better UI than the much-celebrated Windows Phone. If the N9 had sold too well, they would have looked like idiots.

Not that they look much different now...
