Nokia + Microsoft = ?


So as you may or may not know, Nokia is ditching its Symbian OS in place for Microsoft's Windows Phone 7. This is a pretty big deal. Nokia promised lots of things in store for Symbian but now they are just dropping it all together. This will be a really good move for Microsoft as it will popularize their new OS.

So two companies that were once on top of the mobile phone market are coming together, should be a interesting ride. WinPhone7 doesn't look too promising to me but i guess time will tell, maybe Nokia will be able to make it into something great.

  8. I think Windows Phone 7 has no big future. The Apple iOS for perfect design and Android for good performance and productivity will rule the mobile world.

  9. To be honest, good move from nokia I think.
    Windows 7 is a much more appealing concept to deal with on a smart phone

  11. I prefer Android. Another platform will just make extra work for developers.

  19. It makes sense as Sony seems to be teaming with Google so Microsoft and nokia both need something more to be able to compete with that plus the ever present apple in the cell phone wars.
