“We discussed Meego with HTC, RIM, Samsung, LG, and Motorola. One manufacturer was fairly interested in Meego and the others have their own plans, and they were not particularly interested in Meego. They were afraid that Nokia had too much power in Meego”
According to an interview with Stephen Elop and Finnish newspaper Helsingen Sanomat, Nokia tried to tout MeeGo to rival manufacturers back when it was considered it’s next main Smartphone OS. Well i think with this now it is more clear why Nokia choose WP7 instead of its own Symbian and Meego, Because Nokia knew unless until other manufacturers will also use meego as 1 of their Smartphone OS, Meego will not be too interesting for developers and it would be very hard for nokia to establish Meego as A legitimate Smartphone OS, And the delays in development of Meego made it clear that nokia could not go with Meego as an Option.Hence made it clear for nokia to go with WP7
