IAAMTE ( I am a mobile telecommunication engineer).

Why do you think the phone number is on the phone or on the SIM ? Having two phone numbers doesn't require dual SIM and/or dual radio stack. In fact, there are solutions available to give roamers a prepaid local number. It doesn't make a lot of sense commercially as roaming fees are a cash cow, so you won't see lots of implementations, but it's quite easy to do.

I'd rather see MeeGo taking a sizeable portion of market from Android. With MeeGo, desktop Linux skills suddenly become very relevant in job market, and we'll get more desktop software (eventually).

With Android, Java skills are everything and... um... we got more people capable of doing Websphere/JBoss stuff? What a victory would that be.

Nobody cares about you being unemployed with your irrelevant linux skills.

Making themselves yet another Android vendor would give little reason for people to prefer their phones over somebody else's

I was (no longer since the crappy N97) a great Nokia fanboi. They simply make the best hardware, and have kept understanding that a smartphone should be a phone with PDA functions and not the other way around. The OS has nothing to to with it; its only advantage at one time was that is was the only game in town, especially at a time where the competition was windows mobile, which is a badly hacked version of a PDA OS that was not very good to begin with. Not so anymore with IOS and Android But as a would be programmer and generally as a geek, I simply hate Symbian. I would certainly buy a Nokia Android. Or the best of both world; it should not be tremendously hard to make the Dalvik VM run on Symbian.
