Eldar: Nokia switches to Windows Phone 7


Nokia will possibly come with a handset that runs Windows Phone 7, says Eldar Murtazin. The famous Russian reviewer has been right with his rumours more than once. Windows Phone 7 or no Windows Phone 7, that's the question.

Rumour had before that Nokia would leave Symbian to embrace Android or Windows Phone 7. We've skipped many of these rumours, as Nokia still states that both operating systems are not an option. Now that Eldar Murtazin also says that Nokia and Microsoft are negotiating the advent of Microsofts OS to Nokia handsets, we have our doubts again. Murtazins has his sources, and may be right this time.

Microsoft executive

Nokia has an easy road towards Microsoft, because the current CEO of the Finnish company, Stephen Elop, was an executive at Microsoft before. Nokia says it focuses on MeeGo, a new OS that is based on Linux. Symbian, the operating system of the Nokia N8 is being likely being dropped, while Nokia communicates the opposite. Signals, however, are clear. Symbian's developing team at Nokia has been shrinked the last month.
