This is apparently happening. Don't know what to make of it.

Nothing official, but it would be good news for Android users, as they'll be able to buy the first actual proper phone ever ;-)

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

nah, you've been pulled. It does not exist.

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

actually there was android concept based on 720, no more.

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

Just as the first L800 protos were RM-696 boards.
It makes no difference, a proto/concept is not the real thing.

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

exactly. just usual testing possibilities.

But Nokia is not prevented from making and selling smartphones by 2016?

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

They can't use the name "Nokia" until then.

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

They can do whatever they want, but they can´t use Nokia branding on a mobile devices till 2016.
Here's a pic by Evleaks. Notice the left pic with Swipe UI standby screen.

NokiaPowerUser is claiming that Normandy is being made by a Nokia team that wont transfer to Microsoft. Unfortunately NPU is nowhere near as a solid source as Evleaks.

You have been taken on for a ride, wake up guys! :mad:
There is no NMP any longer, the deal is done MS owns the whole barrel that's left.

Now try convincing me that Microsoft is even playing around with Android, good luck!

Re: Nokia and alternative android
 

Why would it be Microsoft playing with this? Nokia will be making hardware, they have hinted at that plenty of times.

It would be kind of weird if they would not, thinking they have one the biggest hurdles, patents in better control than pretty much any other company dealing with wireless devices.
Main problem with that has just been that most of us think that knowhow will be directed towards accessories, internet of things or wearable tech, not mobile phones.I do believe that's the case still.
Even so it would not be hard to believe Nokia is thinkering about Android device under Nokia Research, that's not moving under MS.

Nokia makes everything beautiful :') Nokia's UI is the best for android haha
