IMHO it's highly unlikely (when have Nokia ever used a third-party OS on one of their phones?) but at the end of the day even if it's true who cares, MeeGo is still going ahead and Maemo is still dead.

I came across this article which states that "according to a trusted source, Nokia is now likely to use Windows Phone 7 as an additional platform for its phones".

Is this just the usual rumour? Or have any of you heard something new on this issue? I dont even know venturebeat... is this a trusted source?

the venturebeat-article i linked to found its way to austrian mainstream media here, doing away with the question mark in the headline as a precaution not to confuse readers.
so what i read today was "Nokia interested in Windows Phone 7" as a statement, not a speculation/question
oh dear....
