 Finnish site Taskumuro has produced an incredibly detailed behind-the-scenes history of Nokia’s wonderful, yet doomed, MeeGo OS. Talking to current and ex-employees of the phone maker, it learned that a tablet (codenamed Senna ) and CDMA Nokia N9 for Verizon were both in development before Stephen Elop killed the project dead around the time of the ” burning platform ” memo. The report also claims that the company’s decision to develop Maemo (later MeeGo ) in tandem with Symbian led to a developer turf-war, that the Swipe UI was cooked up at the 80/20 Design Studio in New York and the team had planned an Apple-esque strategy of releasing a single phone every year. . . . → Read More: Behind the scenes history of MeeGo reveals Nokia’s abandoned tablet and Verizon N9

 While this regular feature is called How Would You Change , in the case of Nokia’s Lumia 900 , it seems more apt to change the question to “What Killed It?.” The flagship was designed to break the US from its traditional indifference to the company, yet only 600,000 users took the plunge. . . . → Read More: How would you change Nokia’s Lumia 900?

 Former Nokia executive Lee Williams admits that he’s a bit of an “arm chair quarterback,” but won’t let such labels stop him from offering up some seriously pointed criticism of Stephen Elop , telling CNET that the CEO is “struggling,” due in part to a lack of “overarching vision.” Williams cites the company’s shift in focus to Windows Phone as a cause of the companies woes, adding, It might have made sense to introduce a product or two into the portfolio based on Windows Phone. What I do not think they should have done is pretend it is a one horse race, and that one software system is all you need . . . → Read More: Former Nokia Exec: Elop is struggling, shouldn’t focus so heavily on Windows Phone

 China recently greeted its first Windows Phone (on pre-order, anyway), but if Stephen Elop has his way, Nokia will be hot on HTC’s heels.
