Nokia & Microsoft Partnership announced!

Surely, Microsoft would benefit more from this alliance.

Yup, bad choice. Android is the more popular OS nowadays.

this is of a personal note and preference of course, Windows Mobile Sucks. the UI is so simple and boring. although the Windows Mobile 7 kinda put a little customization but still it’s not that satisfying. I usually borrow a friend’s phone which uses an Android OS simply because it’s amazing and pretty.

well it still boils down to personal choices. Will it affect Nokia’s shares in the market? for sure, some may prefer it, but of course there are some especially those hardcore symbian fanatics who will be disappointed.

let’s see what’s going to happen. excited much!

Even if they release a Meego phone I still won’t buy one because that means using MS services (web and desktop) and I hate anything MS.

What I’m really saying is, goodbye Nokia.

If Nokia will go the Android way, the competition is way denser, and they will end up just being “one of those Manufacturers” and might end up dealing hard with the infamous fragmentation.

Going Windows is really a big risk anyway. If MS would let Nokia put some customization with the UI, it will be better. It’s really an unpredictable decision, but who knows, Nokia has a very huge fanbase.

I’m still banking on Meego more though. It can directly compete with Android, not this Windows crap.

Also I wouldn’t be so quick to count Nokia out of the game just because they went with Microsoft instead of Google.

By sheer volume they still ship out the most smartphones in the world. They are also very entrenched in Europe and Asia (and obviously here). They have economies of scale and marketing to get back to relevancy.

What’s more, Nokia plans all their smartphones shift from Symbian to Windows Phone 7 in the next two years.

Yes, no more room for Symbian. But with Nokia being exclusively WP7, it strikes a similar note to how Apple is exclusively iOS. We shall see if the integrated hardware-software approach Apple does also works for Nokia. :)

sana for mid-range phones, android gamitin nila, since free yung OS so magiging cheaper yung phone….imagine a slimmer N95(including its sliding numeric keypad and the great camera) with android…a proven great hardware plus an OS with lots of available free apps/games….just my two-cent worth….

Why do people diss WP7?. WP7 is great. The OS is just too young.

@Jam
because they havent tried it yet lol.

yes finally!! goodbye apple!

Actually this is a winning decision for Nokia, now Nokia could focus on development of hardware leaving the OS side and services to Microsoft. Using each other as leverage to go against a common competitor (iOS / iPhone).

This partnership also helps Nokia with their problem on the lack of US advertising leaving that task to MS.

One great thing I like about this is that iOS now has a strong enough competition and with competition comes innovation.

Bad choice, Good bye nokia, downfall begins for Nokia, bad move?! UTUT NYO!

mga atat, maghintay nga muna kayo baka ibahin na ung WP7 UI design. feeling economista.

peace out!

GOOD CHOICE! CAN’T WAIT TO USE A NOKIA WP7

Either way mapa android or windows, makaka innovate parin sila ng mga good models. Wag magsalita ng tapos :)

check this out: http://www.techie.com.ph/features/poll-what-do-you-think-of-nokia-s-windows-phone-7-conceptual-devices… so what do you think? are they sexier phones?

Constant innovation is key to success. Nokia & Microsoft have enough resources to do that. They have also R&D Team that can match the engineers of google & apple. Bottom line, more choices for us consumers

Their phone will be called ”WOKIA”

I think meego is still a go. They’ll be launching one phone for meego this year. Fingers crossed.
