11 February, 2011
Nokia and Microsoft just dropped a bomb - the two leading companies will be joining forces for an extensive collaboration. Windows Phone 7 becomes the primary smartphone OS for Nokia, but Symbian...

      Anonymous, 11 Feb 2011all nokias problems arise from one source... crap, cartoony... moreAgree with everything you say. Nokia need a big shake shake up. S^1, S^2 S^3, S^4, Meego, Maemo WTF!! Apple are running one OS on both iphone and Ipad and still wooping Nokia's asssss. One word comes to mind "Streamline" Nokia just to not know how to streamline and that's all they ever needed to do. Pick the strongest OS and do battle with it.

        When the iPhone came out there were many there who saw the hardware as appealing but thought the operating system wouldnt catch up with the top competitors. Five years later, the same retards seem to forget Apple was initially more or less in the same position Nokia is in now.

        You keep forgetting both are huge corporations with huge budgets. I am currently using Android 2.2 on Galaxy S. Its a very nice phone and the operating system is my favourite so far. However I need to take into account that Windows Mobile 7 is better now than Android or iOS were when they first came out.

        No one knows how long the Android bubble will last, whether or not Apple will turn into what Blackberry is now in 2-3 years time..I love Nokia hardware and think WM7 has MASSIVE potential. I would keep an eye on this one.

          FRUZA, 11 Feb 2011so does this mean the htc and microsoft are no morenope. Just like this

          Android = Sammy, htc, lg, se, others
          WP7 = HTC, lg.
          (nokia may not get WP7 but newer version. Another delay)

                I disagree that both of them are losers (esp Windows). Nokia would be loser if it wouldn't join with someone who is good in OS. So far Nokia got serious kick in the bollocks from I-phone and android. I would say androids kick was more painful than I phone.
                I believe there will be serious outcome because two pc mob phone market representatives join their resources together. Lets fantasize and suddenly that becomes truth.

                        Nokia Os (priority)

                        1. Windows Phone (not 7. Just windows phone)

                        2. Meego (Qt still ongoing)

                        3. Symbian (low-end, Qt still ongoing)

                        just chill.

                          Nokia joins forces with Microsoft!
                          Versus a world full of fruits and green robots!
                          This should be interesting.

                                Stupid decision by Nokia but what a coup by Micro$oft they must be rubbing their hands together after this.

                                  Nokia should have choose Android and had the ability to become the best Android phone manufacture...

                                  Now going with WP7 Nokia is a co-player for MSF with a battle they just can not win against IOS and Android
