Rumor: Nokia To Adopt Windows Phone 7
In the last month behind closed doors is a discussion of expanded cooperation Nokia and Microsoft (two-way discussion, initiated by the new leadership of Nokia). Not simply the exchange of technology, but creating an entire line of Windows Phone devices that may go under the name Nokia, through the sales channels for the company, and will also have the characteristic features of its products. This is a desperate measure of the two companies.
Mobile-Review goes on to disparage this move, but I’m all for it. What many of us forget is that Nokia is still a top manufacturer and that won’t change. Melding with Microsoft will only buoy both companies over the Android/iPhone fray.
