It means to keep customizing phones based on its hereditary Symbian operating system

Nokia isn't planning to customize its first-ever Linux Maemo phone, the N900 unveiled last month.
It'll be the same from all of the carriers it signs.
The company told Reuters, "Very clearly Apple, Android...are a whole lot less about providing customization to the operators and a whole lot more about providing a really cool, compelling value proposition to the end customer. We have an opportunity that we are going to take advantage of with the Maemo platform to play the game a little bit more along those lines than with Symbian lines."
It means to keep customizing phones based on its hereditary Symbian operating system, which it will sell cheap.
