I'm not surprised in the lack of planning for the supposed transition between Symbian to WP7 - there was a lack of planning for the supposed transition between Maemo to MeeGo.
So... at a much lower level, same ****, different day (and terms).
I still cannot believe that I have to buy a damn Nokia WP7 phone because I said it wouldn't happen, if it did, I'd buy one... gotta keep my word. Bleh.

=> Nokia now has
1) "Ecosystem" with marginable market share (not even 3rd ...)
2) Less advanced platform that has been abondaned by others already (Samsung, Motorola)
3) Lost control of both ecosystem and platform
4) Ruined reputation of its own ecosystem and platform and its own reputation for developers also - would you invest in Nokia WP7 now after having invested in QT/Symbian? Or go to Android ...
The winner of the deal seems to be MS. But by the delay of 1 yr. until delivery of Nokia WP7 phones is too long - in this time Symbian will eventually die (at least converning market share and OVI) because everybody knows its an abandoned platform.

NFC seems to be a keyword that could be gigantic in terms of €. Who in their right mind would literally handle their wallet over to Google? We can same the same thing about MS for sure, but at least WP (and Bada by the way) is built from the ground up with this in mind, to keep your data safe. Android is built to exploit every bit of data you have.

But Google/apple/Nokia may drive this faster forward now is good.
Personlly I am so sick of the magnetcards and cash.
It really is time we replace magnetcard and cash with NFC in european.

Concerning about NSA, I do not think it much matters, because all high end CPUs are closed source anyway and there surely is remote switch off logics and would be also cost effective to have platform agnostic backdoors. But still it wouldn't hurt to have open source kernel and OS-tools because from there in the software is where the criminals will attack you.

NFC can only exist in a closed and controlled ecosystem, using a modern OS that also is closed. Today there are only three candidates, iOS, Bada and WP. Google would have to fork off an entire new OS for this with no spyware whatsoever, but they will loose their advantages (if any exist) in the process.

For a company who gives away for " free" they do seem to have a rather HUGE yearly growth-rate. Microsoft : what you see is what you get...
