The software culture was great. I really felt like being in a big startup.

However the had so many reboots that scared the developers away.

On one side they went

J2ME -> Symbian C++ / Java -> Symbian C++ with PIPS -> Symbian C++ / Qt -> Symbian is now open source -> Sorry use .NET instead

On the other side the Maemo was Gtk+, but then the team decided to move to C++ and port it to Qt.

These actions angered everyone that was trying to earn their money targeting Nokia devices.

Ah and don't get me started on Symbian C++ with its quirks copied from Win16 days and Palm OS.
