My thoughts exactly. I don't understand why everyone is so disappointed. It's great news for all.
But what is great news? That Nokia will be the main owner and beneficient of all of it.?
Or maybe the fact that you will wait a year to buy a new UiQ device?
Or maybe the fact that SE is leaving UiQ in an polite way?
I think you misread the news announcement. Nokia is NOT the main owner and beneficiary of the new foundation. The news article clearly states that Nokia is purchasing the rest of Symbian and DONATING IT to the foundation. Therefore, all of Symbian will belong to each of the members of the foundation and not to any specific company.
The point of the foundation is to create an open source Symbian with a GUI that will take the best features of each and combine them into one. Therefore, I don't believe the interface will be ugly like nokia's. If you read the article, basically everyone is GIVING their secrets and what they own to the foundation for the benefit of all.
THAT is why it is great news. EVERYONE will benefit, not just one company, and not just one company will control. It is a collective effort that will result in a platform, OS and GUI that will revolutionize the smartphone world for years and years.
UIQ is not dead. I will happily purchase a UIQ phone now even knowing this new information. What does it really matter? So what? Many of you were happy to purchase a UIQ 3.3 phone, knowing fully well that there is a good chance the next iteration (UIQ 4 maybe) would likely come out a year later (at least this was what we all though until now..)
So, for all you who are "disappointed" and "angry". Maybe try reading the press release again and take it for what it REALLY says instead of superimposing your own words/thoughts into the text.
Yeah, it's an idealistic vision. I'd be happy of that, but it just doesn't go this way really.
And maybe will lead to a new solutions, there's actually no choice if they want to stay on the market anyway.
But please, be serious...... So Nokia buys THE REST of Symbian to help poor SE and Moto? NO!!! To benefit, it's a market and sales, not a gentleman's club.
Of course they have to donate, other way the whole foundation is nonsense.
It can give something positive in two, three years - why not?
But now is now, and I'm the customer.. And SE will not bring it.
UiQ FIRES people, as stated above. It's a fact. Why - because of develpement? No, it's because it's just over. And as was written somwhere else, symbian workers will become Nokia workers.
It's clear - UiQ is over.
Besides, it's clear - Motorola lost a lot of time and money with the alliance with UiQ, and it gave them nothing really - Z8 and Z10 did not make it.
Also remember, SE is loosing money now, so they have to CUT costs, not enlarge it. That foundation is a way to do that. New UiQ device will not be soon, and they also want to make it cheap.
Also, cancellation of the two devices they worked on, means massive change of plans.
So, I'm sure it does not look so nice and bright.
P.S. The things I'm saying are not just my thoughts, they're facts...

All this is really a bit Off Topic. We now have two threads thrashing out the implications of yesterday's announcement.
Nokia buys Symbian! (Mobile leaders to unify the Symbian software platform)
I don't know what's got into everybody lately. Since yesterdays announcement some members seems to be at each others throats.
Can we get back on track?
