Nokia’s Windows Phone Strategy



Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop at an event in China discussed the release strategy for the upcoming Windows Phone-powered Nokia smartphones and quoted on the possible difficulties for Android, the Motorola-Google deal may bring, while defending Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7.While Elop discussed about Nokia’s path to shift from Symbian to Microsoft’s next gen Windows Phone 7, there were also discussions on rumours of Microsoft eventually acquiring Nokia. Elop also said that Nokia would make its own way “independently”, as they are set to release their first Windows Phone 7-powered phone before the end of year.

Microsoft’s relationship with Nokia is wonderful in terms of Microsoft giving Nokia complete access to Windows Phone 7 source code, something that other parthttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifners like HTC, Samsung, LG failed to. Nokia is also sharing a great deal with Microsoft for the Windows Phone project to go ahead and differentiate itself from the other Windows Phone devices on the market. Elop’s thought on the Android wasn’t good, he warned that the Motorola-Google deal announced last month, could cause difficulties in the forward strategy of the Android ecosystem.
