I would consider this if Nokia take advantage of MS's offer to customise the design, that would offer something tasty over the competition and give Nokia its own identity. If they stick to the standard tiles, i'll give it a miss.

The moral though is this: people love Nokia hardware and hate Nokia software. They'd buy any Nokia phone so long as they were told Nokia didn't write the software. Nokia could install Microsoft Bob on their next phones, and North American customers will return in droves to Nokia. If Nokia had created HAL in-house and put it on the next phone, they'd move three units.The cries of "Nokia has killed themselves!" are self-evidently not true.
