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.
Vic Gundotra did know about this deal. Engadget has the details.
