      Microsoft phones with WP8 will be more restricted and limited... than Apples iPhones, and Samsung and HTC... would be stupid if they continue making any Wp8... phones trying to compete against Microsofts WP8... phones! I was hoping for an Android made by Nokia with the 41 MP camera but that will now never ever happen! :(
      Microsoft will probably move Nokia from the very expensive Finland, to China or back home to USA!

                        our predictions becomes true!

                        Microsoft destroyed Nokia and bought........

                        the end of Nokia is coming soon by Microsoft's incapability and NSA backdoors in its systems!

                            Not sure if this is good news for Nokia or bad. But i honestly have a sad sinking feeling :(

                              Not at all surprised by this impending event. Microsoft cleverly pushed it's own person into Nokia as CEO and got Nokia to scrap meego platform in favour of windows phones, which ment that it was going to depend on Microsoft for everything that is smartphone.

                              I would say that Microsoft has invaded and conquered Nokia by sending in its insider Stephen Elop.

                              What a pity that Nokia gave in to Microsoft so meekly and didn't dare to walk alone.

                                I'd put money on MS coming up with this idea years ago, knowing full well Nokia would end up plummeting if they had to rely on selling mainly windows devices.

                                MS's long term goal was to bankrupt Nokia and take it over! - Not surprising really, they should have taken on Android but no......

                                This is one of the last nails left to be hammered into Nokia's Coffin.
