This morning, Nokia announced their “Strategy for 2011“. This strategy is based around dropping Symbian (and essentially sidelining MeeGo) in favour of Windows Phone 7.

Nokia X6: My experience so far
As I mentioned yesterday, I recently upgraded to the Nokia X6 16GB and as when I reviewed the N900, I’m posting my experiences of just over two weeks with it so far. All from the perspective of being a Linux user of course. I am loving the X6 on the whole. The ‘X’ range is …

The “best” smartphone for Linux users
