Personally, Nokia should have multiple OS selections (WP7, Android, Symbian) on specific phones. These are what HTC, Motorola, LG and others are doing anyway, different OS on different phones. Have been using Nokias for decades and I love the hardware. But when the iphone came out, it was time to say goodbye and never came back. What's awful is that they never responded back to the iphone threat until now...
These looks to me a better deal and gain for Microsoft than Nokia. MS has sold to carriers and manufacturers 2M phone devices since it was released 4 months ago. That is low considering iphone 4 sold 16M this 2011 quarter alone. It get's worse... sold to actual clients, probably less than 1.3M for WP7. Why a better deal for MS? Well, nokia sells 120M phones per year! in one swoop announcement, WP7 will probably catapult to #2 on smartphone sales just by special partnering with Nokia. regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On Wed, Feb 9, 2011 at 8:41 PM, Michael Janapin <michael.jana...@gmail.com>wrote: > That's according to their CEO. > > http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/08/nokia-ceo-stephen-elop-rallies-troops-in-brutally-honest-burnin/ > > I have a two-cent suggestion to Nokia: Build an open handset (true > open handset) that will be able to run any OS a user may fancy, be it > Ubuntu Linux, Windows 7, iOS, BSD, Symbian?!, MeeGo!!?, or gasp* even > Android. > > I'm just dreaming. > -- > Michael R.
