Nokia working on Windows Phone?
May 6, 2010 phones
Make sure you have a lot of saltiness for this rumor, as the Times Online is expression that Nokia (NYSE: NOK) whitethorn be workings on a Windows Phone.
In a bullish piece about British high-tech firms, the publishing slips in a little line of work that could have a major impact on the kinetics of the smartphone worldly concern.
However, some of the painful sensation was lessened last class after [Wolfson Microelectronics] was selected by a leadership mobile earphone manufacturer — believed to be Nokia — to provide some of the engineering for its new Windows Mobile French telephone.
Is Nokia really going to pumps out a Windows Phone 7 device? I don’t think it would be such a bad estimate. The Suomi troupe tin still provide some bad-piece of tail computer hardware (the spectacles leaning on the N97 can make anyone dribble) and the Symbian operating organization is really showing its age. I would buy a tricked-out Nokia phone running Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT)’s latest mobile OS in a hot second base. The two companies have been pretty cozy lately, as they just released an endeavor app for the E-Series handsets. Additionally, Wolfson does rich person chips in multiple Microsoft products including the Zune HD.
Of course of action, I don’t really see this rumour really panning out because Nokia has a long, long account with Symbian. While that OS is now surface seed and technically function of the independent Symbian Foundation, we all know it would go nowhere without Nokia. If the world’s largest handset maker could get its human action together on the high gear-end front, it probably wouldn’t even need WP7 depending on how goodness the awfully-named MeeGo turns out to me.
So, net ball’s not get our hopes too high gear for this one but it’s definitely an intriguing mentation. How say you, IntoMobile readers? Would you like to see a Nokia smartphone with WP7?
