Nokia’s Burning Platform Memo (2011)
I&#x27;m not saying this is a great letter, but he wasn&#x27;t wrong. I owned both Symbian and Maemo devices, and the experience (both to use and develop) really was this bad. That&#x27;s not to say <i>everything</i> about it was bad, or that there was nothing to like (as HN comments have often pointed out, there was), but it didn&#x27;t hold a candle to iOS, or even Android. (And Android in those days was pretty hideous.)<p>Now what Nokia did in response... that may not have been right either. But they had to do something.
