Nokia embraces Windows Phone 7 as its primary mobile OS

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...

sad to see Nokia side-lining most part of Symbian and MeeGo WP7 will just make Nokia like any other mobile company, it will make it look and feel cheap when knowing that this company is the main innovator of mobile technology. sad. Symbian was user friendly... WP7 and Driods aren't. :(

    Okay they choose wp7 Os. but why the heck they choose wp7 it's primary Os where their meego was supposed to be primary or core Os in near future. I hope nokia change their opinion soon.

      This only means WP8 is going to be a lot better in every way than WP7 was. It's hard to see them supporting both Symbian and WP for a long time. And MeeGo? All three systems were promised to be supported...

              Worst decision ever! Wake up Nokia, just use your Intel relationship and release Meego devices already!

              Going to Windows Phone 7 just makes Nokia just* another mobile company.

              Why would programmers program in QT if it will not work in WM7?

                A very wise decision from Nokia. Elop is a wonderful man. Its time Nokia was on the top list again. Maybe this is the start of the iPhone killers.

                    This is ridicules and hard to believe decision by Nokia. Say good by to Symbian. Long live Android, the future of Mobile OS.

                          Okay so they embrace microsoft's windows phone 7 okay, but i still don't understand why they drop meego os as it would have been primary high end os for nokia. Meego os could have been best and powerful os better than wp7. i have used wp7 phone, but still lots of features are not there yet. even symbian os has many features that wp7 does not have those main feature. Not a fan of wp7, but i really hope they are just testing what wp7 would be and what meego os could bring impact to us market. For me I think it's just a temporary primary os switch. so they could develop meego os further and released yet later and becoming it's primary and core os.

                                Oh nokia....worst decision indeed. Shed the ego, opt android. Join the ecosystem and @ the same time create a ew ecosystem as well.

                                  I have a couple of questions:

                                  Who is goin to buy Nokia's Symbian phones now?

                                  How is Nokia goin to get a market share in mid and low price range smartphones? Not with WP7.

                                      Great news:-) I'm happy with Nokia joining forces with Microsoft. Now i expect to see more Nokia devices being sold than CRAPPY iOS and BUGGY android.
