this could bring back both Nokia and MS in the mobile space big time

Or they can drown each other.
|
hehe
that could happen but with the money that these 2 companies have and the amount they invest in R&D,they could even do wonders.
NOKIA has the best hardware and MS has the best software.
NOKIA and MS both spend close to $4BILLION in R&D last year
|
True...nokia phones are usually the best spec wise and pretty Buletproof. Their R&D is insane...
Nokia still has a 35% marketshare globaly of smartphone market which makes them number 1.But they have lost 15% in the last 2 years. Whats dragging them down is Symbian OS on their phones which is pretty outdated at this point. If they can get some help in the OS market...wether its Android or WM7, they have a really good chance of maintaing their marketshare lead.

nokia still has the marketshare but they really haven't stood out for soemtime and a big share of their sales come from all types of budget phones in developing countries..
they need something new to standout.
they can get help from android and WP7 but that really won't do the job as they will go fom a standout company to being on of the hardware producers like all else android stuff which has the same thing just a different hardware
theyt need something like APPLE,have a new hardware and new OS optimized just for their phones.

I think they just need to make something cheap yet effective for consumers. Their hardware just cost too much money and isn't even worth it. It will definitely benefit from Microsoft. But i don't know if Microsoft will benefit much from them.

acutally both could benefit
MS could profit from the WP7 software and WP7 app market and NOKIA could profit from HW
it will be really tough as NOKIA isn't cool company and thats why they need to do something totally new that would suprise people
