Fire them and show 'em whose boss!

 

[Guest]

They should fire the Symbian devs. If they had done their job right Nokia wouldn't have needed to start using Windows.

Quick Google hire them all and make Android even better!

 

[Hellbound]

Clearly Nokia needs to head in a different direction. They have lost a significant amount of market share to competitors. If the employees cant understand that, then maybe its time for some new employees.

 

[osxsier]

Its not as black and white as some of you are making it out to be. But I guess its easier to simplify things for you knuckleheads.

 

[Verrin]

I'd feel bad for these employees if it weren't that Symbian was such a poor and outdated OS.

 

[liveonc]

It's sad, because they need Symbian, but Nokia doesn't need Symbian, but their jobs require Symbian, but people won't keep buying their phones running Symbian...

 

[darthvaders father]

They should all gather round and film themselves while they whine, cry while they showing their butts on INTERNET and submit it as a new ring tone / screen saver on the Android App store!

 

[fatdoi]

they can start writing apps for win7, maybe they'll earn more than their jobs

 

[darthvaders father]

...or .they could go get a bunch of greeting cards and some ...

 

[darthvaders father]

hot chicks and a 12pack each... call it a successful day !

 

[opmopadop]

So many phone manufacturers stopped using Symbian long ago. So they wait for the last major distributor to pull the plug before they get upset?!?!

It took these idiots this long to realise their jobs were at risk?

Keep walking Symbian... Keep Walking!

 

[spentshells]

Symbian works fine but it's go no zazz you know ...it's just not zazzy enough

 

[elcentral]

I loves me some Nokia phones. My current phone is darn near indestructible. I've had it for more than 3 years and I want to see how long it will last before I upgrade to the smartphone era.

Dumbphones such as those old phones are incredibly resilient, I remember watching my friends throwing their phones across streets, hallways, down stairs for crying out loud and those damn things keep on chugging along.

Nowdays technology is so weak you need to babysit it just to keep scratches away, the entire front of a phone is just a big screen and glass is brittle.

Where was i going with this? who knows/cares.

Symbian is dead because of no innovation at all.
Fire those lazy and ininnovative developers!!

 

[aaron88_7]

If Nokia was smart they'd lock the doors as soon as they walk out. I mean normally I take the side of employees, but when you are responsible for your company's downfall staging a walk out is the last thing that should be on your mind.

 

[bv90andy]

And here I thought that they would respond to the CEO's letter with a sneak preview to the new Symbian on which they were working, to blow our minds away.
I guess I was wrong
