      Nokia Maps would be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience

      Nokia to deliver mapping, navigation, and certain location-based services to the Windows Phone ecosystem. Nokia will build innovation on top of the Windows Phone platform in areas such as imaging, while contributing expertise on hardware design and language support, and helping to drive the development of the Windows Phone platform. Microsoft will provide Bing search services across the Nokia device portfolio as well as contributing strength in productivity, advertising, gaming, social media and a variety of other services. The combination of navigation with advertising and search will enable better monetization of Nokia’s navigation assets and completely new forms of advertising revenue.

      Opening a new Nokia-branded global application store that leverages the Windows Marketplace infrastructure. Developers will be able to publish and distribute applications through a single developer portal to hundreds of millions of consumers that use Windows Phone, Symbian and Series 40 devices.

      according to this statement...

      OVI Maps will be integrated with Microsoft Bing [God.. i really hate this]
      OVI Store will be replaced by Windows Marketplace..

          The present CEO of nokia is concentrating only on WP. I don't know y.. He may get double income by MS... With WP nokia won't grow but MS will sure..
          It's highly restricted OS than IOS.. I don't have much info about those platform. But it is opinion of most of users..

          It's disgusting one that nokia's much awaited phone N9 is still not officially announced.. Only little news rumouring from last week.. It may get it in this quarter.

          Elop should give same opportunity to both symbian & meego also.. Because they both can create different user community.. Meego & WP to high end phone users.. Symbian to the low end phone users (300$ price)... Or If nokia continue to bring out device with all these platforms, then they must provide freedom to the users to choose OS..
          Good luck nokia, WP, MeeGo & also to Symbian...
          Sorry for my poor english....

                these phones have a very cheap plastic look. Also they have the shape of most HTC phones like Sensation,Desire S, 7 Mozart...

                  I think Nokia + Mango will bring some balance into the market, which is too much iOS and Android at the moment. Where iOS and Android are seemingly opposite approaches, Mango may be viewed as a 'third way'. I feel that it will appeal to a lot of people, not necessarily technophiles, but those who enjoy good, reliable smartphones.

                  I do think however, that Android may have more to lose than iOS, when it comes to WP7.1

                          i am a nokia/apple/samsung fan. and i want the competition to be healthy and a lot competitive,.

                          capacitive screens of the three are one of the best if not the best. and the screen sizes differ from each other, samsung make big screens with super amoleds.
                          apple makes regular 3.5" screens with their retina display.
                          and nokia makes 3.5" screens too but (narrow) unlike iphone screens. with their clearblack amoled displays.

                          please nokia.. make your screen size as long and wide as samsung does. clearblack display will be a hit with those sizzed screens like in galaxy's.
                          make this with your windows phone. sure hit to those who love big screens.

                          please nokia, listen to you fans and established customers.

                            When it comes to smarphones, Nokia's never been quite as focussed as it could be. Perhaps being essentially a hardware manufacturer (adding minor tweaks to WP7 as others do) will allow them to focus more keenly on handset design and hardware power.

                            Mango really makes WP7 the *phone* OS of choice for me. For tablets, Android 3.1 for sure; but from what I've seen WP7 is all about communication, and "connecting people" is what phones (and Nokia) are all about. :--D

                                        Has been more sales for the Apple iPhone than any other

                                        Every brand is cool, but we don't need the Pope of phones around, just good gadgets to use, I don care numbers, I care experiences, much people base their comments on reviews or ads, I don't. I like use it and share my experience :D
