The fact these were produced by Nokia doesn't make those equal. Nokia got their payment for producing the handsets from MS. For me: the more the merrier. I know this is rather unpopular view here, but Nokia is still in the running thanks to this. With revolutionary handsets (808) and apps they develop (sadly for MS only now, nokia transport sounds very awesome for my usage case at least): they can regain field once the shill's been kicked out. And on the other hand, both google and apple could use some competition, so bleed your money MS, bipoly(?) is just as bad as monopoly, just look at ISP options for most of US, horror stories. People get bored of same thing also it seems. Hope WP can even the field, introduce the 'looking for something new' approach into consumers, N9's swype would really have a chance to explode then

Microsoft Likes IP of companies, So it would not come as a surprise if the deal was just to get some Intellectual Property rights that Nokia holds, Like with danger, Ms was only interested in their intellectual properties. I wish Nokia well, really i do, But i have no idea whats going on.

Nokia is fragmented, This is a bad image, they released a 41 MP phone which got people excited but the problem was, it was on a symbian platform, Seeing Elop has already said so much bad things about Symbian. calling it "A burning Platform" and giving a Date of Death, this looks strange. It's almost Like, Nokia is scared, or does not trust Ms Windows phone. Because surely if you are releasing something like the worlds first 41mp Phone (to get peoples attention), seeing WP7 is their Hope, they would use WP7 right?

Maybe this is a cry for help from the deep vaults of Nokia, who knows? Maybe Nokia has been highjacked? well it's too late now, lets hope WP7 does well...

Oddly, have you noticed that it is Nokia who is complaining about the bad sales, Not Microsoft?

The Nokia-Microsoft relationship is really bad... Nokia cannot go to android-- for Nokia maps reasons.

and to Go back to symbian and meego would seem like an embarrassment, seeing they "HE" dissed it so bad. I mean not even Samsung is dissing their bada platform, and it's not doing very well.

Hope they do well, windows needs to innovate... at current speed, windows Phone does not offer anything, Android, iOs, and other Os's don't already have.
