    I read some articles in the past that before was Nokia bought they worked on some new os. Idk if it was based on android, but I think it might have been Linux. I don’t remember. Microsoft, after the purchase, of course flushed it.

      Maemo and later Meego yes… I had a Nokia N900 and it was an awesome phone. Basically Debian in your pocket, easily accessible terminal with root etc.

      Meltemi. It was supposed to be OS for <100 Euro Linux devices.

      The second elop, or how he is known by his friends flop, saw it and saw it was good he killed it. Can’t have something cheaper and better then what daddy Microsoft has.

      It would depend on whether you think elop was a Microsoft mole al along 😉.

      By the time of the Microsoft acquisition, focus had already shifted to Windows phones.
