Things were not looking for Nokia since a few months, and if the rumors of an alliance for Android at Google or Microsoft for Windows Phone 7 have been cropping everywhere. The latter really off when Nokia picked ex-Microsoft exec Stephen Elop as its new CEO. We've given a lot of takes on the rumor and whether if we believe that it is feasible or if it even makes sense for Nokia engage WP7 pathway, but new rumors suggest that the two just may melt.
Also food speculation, were comments from Mr. Elop analysts, January 27.
At that time, he said that Nokia was going to set individual policies for each of its lower - middle-high-price and companies phone, a departure from its traditional approach. With the new system, Mr. Elop said that Nokia is open "create or join other ecosystems."
The comments of Mr. Elop are interpreted by some as a signal that Nokia intends to abandon Symbian to Windows on smartphones U.S., one of the weaker parts of the Finnish company.
It seems that this is the old speculation even ongoing for some time. However, even a former Nokia employees made assertions that Nokia will not be affecting the mobile Microsoft operation for quite some time - if ever.
Nokia has been drag and loss of its dominant position on the market to Apple and Google. Maybe reply Elop was open to create or join other ecosystems could be more than one reference to MeeGo, which the company is working on. In terms of reach ecosystems - such as Android, which is open - the Finnish manufacturer made it clear in the past that to do so is just a temporary security blanket.
For now, I keep my reservations about to see Nokia build of WP7 devices. The last thing he needs is to jump into an ecosystem still needs lot of maturation and where it can get lost in a flood of poor phones.
