Comment on Symbian: The forgotten FOSS phone OS

Maemo => Meego => Sailfish OS 👍

Nothing ever replaced the N900. And there’s a different between a large corp developing a true Linux OS, as opposed to a tiny company. But still: it’s not dead.

Don’t forget Tizen too; MeeGo’s other bastard offspring.

I think Tizen is still around?

  Lol, so you saying that my N900 now lives in my TV?? :‘’(
  
  I miss you, my beloved N900, and I still talk about you to people.

Meh, the Sailfish guys made the same mistake that Nokia made in not open sourcing their work. That has kept me away from them so far.

Then again their company is still in business so maybe it wasn’t such a bad move after all.

My N810 was my single favorite piece of industrial design in a mobile device. Not perfect, and use cases moved on (to say nothing of the internals), but it was so unique and thoughtful and intricate without feeling overly fragile.
