Oh crap, Stephen Elop was M$. MAybe he is a mole in Nokia who knows. Anyway seriously, Nokia seem to be trying to recover from their biggest blunder which was of trying to close developers to their old symbian system. They even purchased QT (A serious C++ IDE) and tried to encourage people to develop symbian in C++ with QT for Nokia. It seems like this was a mistake, maybe very few people were willing to learn the ropes of the new systems.<br>
<br>Nokia have nothing to lose hardware wise. IF M$ doesn&#39;t work, they ll go Android. However, they will never recover the few developers the drop right now( both symbian and java devs). And this may well lock them in M$ Forever.<br>
<br>Another unfortunate thing, theyve joined up with a mobile phone non-starter and this may actually drive phone users to android et al. But all in all, i guess they have their maths right, only time will tell, maybe android&#39;s legal issues will take it down and lo and behold, now M$ will have taken over the tech world, <br>

All Nokia smart phones will run on Windows....but who says we cant hack changing the OS to Android? How good is HTC and Nexus? Especially the HTC Desire <div><div></div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 8:45 PM, Gichingiri Kuria <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:gmail@gichingiri.com" target="_blank">gmail@gichingiri.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

I think it is a Win win situation for both, especially for Nokia.<div><br></div><div>In one stroke they have already gained something that they had HUGE problems with before thanks to their fragmented OS offerings -- <b>DEVELOPERS</b></div>
