Developers take on Nokia-Microsoft partnership

After The nokia-Microsoft Partnership there was lots of talks that either this is the best decision for nokia and Microsoft or this is going to mark The doom for nokia.

At-last someone surveyed what Developers thought about this,And the People at Open-First Surveyed about this and here are the results :



  • “It is great that Symbian is going away. It is surprising that Meego is also going away in a way, but I do support this decision. The only thing about WP7: Nokia, please please please  talk to Microsoft about allowing to run apps written in C++. The current requirement to write apps in Csharp is a HUGE problem for us. Thank you.”“Months ago Nokia said Qt will be the focus, and we invested time and money accordingly. Why should we believe now?”
  • “Change in metadata requirements is very very annoying, especially if you have as many apps as we do.”
  • “Totally frustrated.”
  • “Excited about it!”
  • “From what’s been announced, it sounds like it’s too early to make any decisions but we’ll probably not put any additional resources into new development for Symbian for now.”
  • “No MultiTasking in WindowsMobile7”
  • “Android will be our main platform after Symbian is phased out. Windows Phone7 lacks consumer adoption, before that changes it is not a feasible choice.”
  • “The Microsoft Windows Phone platform is useless, since it doesn’t allow full native applications.”


The Response Is very Mixed Someone is very Happy someone is very frustrated about it, but lets see what happens when the time will come.
