Have you ever used a meego device? The N9 is a solid phone, and at time of release Harmattan was far better than the Android offering. What makes you say "they had no clue how to turn it into a credible consumer OS"? That seems to be exactly what they did.

It took them far too long to do it, though. They didn't focus on it, and they had at least three public hardware revisions before they even tried to tack a phone onto the platform. In order to make it credible, they needed to put a lot more weight behind it.

They could have beaten Android by 3 years, but didn't because they were organisationally incapable of doing so.

I'm not disagreeing it took them too long and they did it in a ridiculous way, having already made the MS deal, but I don't understand how you can still say it's "not credible". Go use it.
