Some BIG news in mobile today...

"It?s happened. Nokia will make Windows Phone 7 devices and what?s more ?Windows Phone will serve as Nokia?s primary smartphone plarform?. That?s just been confirmed by Nokia in a statement that winged its way to us. Stephen Elop, the new Nokia boss and writer of the world?s harshest memo, is completely overhauling Nokia?s management, marketing and technical approaches but there?s good news for Nokia fans ? MeeGo is still a-go-go.

Nokia says it will use Windows Phone 7 as part of ?a broad strategic partnership with Microsoft to build a new global mobile ecosystem?. That?s good news for Microsoft too and the result of Elop?s loyalties. To go with the new OS, Nokia is getting a new leadership team.

Elop says: ?Nokia is at a critical juncture, where significant change is necessary and inevitable in our journey forwar. Today, we are acceleratingt that change through a new path, aimed at regaining our smartphone leadership, reinforcing our mobile device platform and realising our investments in the future.?

The tie-up with Microsoft will keep things like Nokia Maps alive and push them into Microsoft services like Bing. Microsoft is also set to give Nokia developers more developer tools to play wth. It looks like Symbian will stay alive on Nokia feature phones in the developing world and MeeGo is still coming. Nokia says unequivocally: ?Nokia still plans to ship a MeeGo-related product later this year.?

This is obviously huge news but the question is: is this enough to get Nokia off that ?burning platform? that Elop said it was stood upon? Is the Microsoft/Nokia team up set to shake iOS and Android or will those two juggernauts just keep speeding onwards unbothered?"

5 years on Nokia still have no answer to the Iphone. Retarded. Teaming up with MS? Woah, that's one hell of an axis of phone failure they've lined up. About the only good thing you can say about either is they have virtually nothing to loose at this point.

In related future news, Nokia files for bankruptcy.

Nokia have the largest installed user base by far.

"Nokia is on deck to sell around 500 million units this year. Apple by comparison, until the third quarter of this year ( 2010 ), has sold a ?paltry? 8.4 million iPhones."

If they come up with a competitive offering they will be able to get it in front of a hell of a lot consumers. Android is so popular with the carriers because its so customizable hence why they are more carriers offering so many Android handsets. If Nokia hadn't dropped the ball maybe Androids rise to fame would have taken longer as very few predicted it would happen so fast!
