It makes strategic sense for both companies (MS needed marketshare, Nokia needed a modern OS as soon as possible), but I hope Meego and especially Qt will find another good home because they're dropping those from their phones.

Note: Qt is the toolkit for half the Linux world. Equivalent to Winapi, provides UI, graphics, networking, and other things.

A Failure and a Failure = Win??

Nokia which have the most reliable hardware product will work with microsoft of blue screen?

I don't think i'll buy another product of them.

Shit this makes me really sad!! I was looking foreword to Meego on Nokia devices. I don’t want Windows on my future Nokia phones :S

Its a true shame that people have this ignorant perception of Microsoft phone devices. I guess having the reputation of of Windows mobile from the past doesn't help, but come on...

Blue screen? Are you serious? Have you even seen WP7 operating system? It is NOTHING like windows operating system. It is more intuitive and simpler than anything on the market really...making it an excellent OS for mass market.

I went from Nokias E71 which was amazing piece of hardware for its time and a kinda buggy Symbian OS to a Windows  phone 7 last November, and there is absolutely no way anyone who owned a Nokia with Symbian OS won't think that WP7 is a better user experience.

But i can't stop myself from the fear. I would put MS as the less quality hardware maker, but this isn't the case as Nokia would still make the cellphone.

I have an E63 and bought my fiancée a 5360 (or something like that, white, touchscreen with slice pad). But for myself I bought a X10, but the motherfucker eats battery... why can't cell developers put a 3,6Mah battery??? btw all my cell phones were ericssons and nokias in the last 6 years (and every company keep batery in 1.1Mah)...

Android is a battery sucker =[

More for the masses.

I think this is a win for both companies.
