The big news of the day is that Nokia could use Windows Phone 7 on its future phones. Much of this follows the move of Stephen Elop from Microsoft to Nokia, but it has been intensified by VentureBeat quoting a trusted source as saying that Nokia is now likely to use Windows Phone 7 as an additional platform for its phones. Also, Nokia’s board has given new ex-Microsoft CEO Stephen Elop the green light to change the company’s strategy if needed, a source familiar with these matters said. This new mandate includes decisions on OS strategy or alliances.
I am far from convinced on this even if the current OS setup from Nokia doesn’t bode well for the future.
