Microsoft partners with Nokia on Mobile Phone.

Everyone saw it coming, Microsoft and Nokia are joining forces on mobile phones. After all, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop has too much of Microsoft’s connection.

The proposed partnership includes:

  • Nokia adopts Windows Phone 7 as its primary platform/strategy.
  • Bing becomes the default search engine on Nokia phones.
  • Nokia maps will be integrated with Microsoft’s mapping service.

Does this mean Android is not an option for Nokia?
Would this happen if Stephen Elop or any ex-Microsoft Employees not the CEO of Nokia?

In a way Nokia is to Mobile Industry like Microsoft is to computer industry.
