Yes, I want HMD Global to stop using Stock Android on Nokia smartphones. Many won't agree with this idea but those who have used Stock Android for the first time on their Nokia smartphones or any other Android One/Go smartphone (maybe due to the positive reviews and marketing done by youtubers) very well know how much it lacks in terms of features and also feels restricted and limiting.
Most people don't even care about monthly security updates. And making this the main marketing motto is just useless IMO. You get nothing in return by shouting "Pure Secure and Up to Date Always with Nokia". These monthly security updates and maintenance releases do not bring anything new and they don't even fix the bugs present in "Google's half baked stock Android One OS". With every new major release come new bugs and users put the blame on Nokia and not Google. So, this just hurts our beloved Nokia and not Google.
In 2017, I recommended Nokia smartphones to two people who I know and both switched to a different smartphone within the 1st year itself. This is how horrible Stock Android experience is. Now, I don't recommend Nokia smartphones to people I know due to the feeling that they too won't like the buggy stock android on Nokia smartphones and will never buy a Nokia smartphone again after that. I don't want to make it their 1st and the last Nokia. Don't get me wrong. I am a huge Nokia Fan and I just want this brand to switch to the right tracks.
Can't HMD Global just use their Chinese ROM on globally available Nokia smartphones too? Just make some necessary changes and ship it on globally sold Nokia smartphones. It has so many extra features along with almost stock android experience. Just Do It Nokia. We are waiting.

Make Nokia Great Again and not a Slave.

I'm gonna buy a Galaxy note 9 and an old lumia 925, for the sake of memories.
the design of the phone is a little bit uncomfortable but tht cant even compared with the bad android experience that i had with google's android version.
i realized that I'm happier when im not using my phone but this wasnt the case with my old lumia, i was happy despite crappy speaker quality, i was happy despite the bad app options, bad browser experience. that thing had at least a good user experience; the transitions, fonts, colours everything was great. and that keyboard.
the outer design was perfect too.
i wold love to keep using nokia phones; but if even the company doesnt knows how to make a worthy nokia phone i cant help.
im not saying that they should abandon the trendy models like notch and hole puch öodels alltogather, on the contrary those type of models are easy money source which is essential to keep the business, but they should have a special portfolio for old nokia users, with nokia style designs and solid features. the updates are not necessary for me.
I like my new Nokia 6.1, but that's Android One which makes it not functioning to full extent.
For almost a month it' been failing to setup the phone. (which means, for example, my contact list is not yet synchronized). I don't receive notifications in time - and so on.
I hate that Android does not let to downgrade to the previous versions or unwind the updates. If it would be allowed, the issues might have been solved just by reinstallation of the system
If you want to roll back you can get help from @singhnsk. He knows how to rollback to previous software versions.
You can use the other local brands if you want more Google stuff, in Turkey we have couple of brands that using Android one and I'm sure there are probably more of these local brands or there.
But we have only one Nokia brand, only one Nokia that we preferred for its useful ui options, innovations and user experience.
Based on your complain I think you want to use stock Android, not Nokia brand, you can use the alternative options but we can't.
After providing right hardware, they can optimised the software. But if software is good and hardware not than hmd can't survive. Nokia go for the best hardware . We can wait for software for some time.
