My N95 running Linux instead of symbian? Nokia has been playing with Linux for a while now with their tablets, it would be a wonderful step to have Linux running on my phone. If I could run my network admin tools from my phone that would be a dream come true. The n810 does this, but the price makes the purchase a bit more difficult. Will my dream now come true?

I'm so there with QTopia now. oh, now I read from Engadget this is a move of Nokia also to be part of the Linux Mobile foundation, so it’s basically to go open, take that Android.

They could port the QT interface toolkit on Symbian and make it somewhat crossplatform, as their statement seems to suggest, but what that will really add to the bad Symbian development experience ? A bolder (and smarter, to me at least) move would be to release a Linux mobile platform based on Qtopia so to compete with Android in the quest of getting the attention of the Linux and opensource development community. Ah, and don't forget to add a developers edition phone ! It seems incredible they didn't release one yet in so many years (Qtopia Greenphone or OpenMoko anyone?).

Despite having now 40% marketshare, motorola has proved that that can go away overnight. Nokia is in better shape but their Symbian software sucks, particularly compared to apple and android. And the market is becoming all about software.
