Here's why Android OS was not choosen by Nokia. Because Microsoft Paid them $ 250 Million to Launch Windows Phones.

How sick man ... i would love if Nokia came up with Android OS. Then Instead of $ 250 Million they would had really covered it in few years ...

Sad .. now no chance of Nokia coming up with Android in coming year's

Its not that big of a deal every other manufacturer makes Android phones. Money talk b.s. walks.

Bit of a non-news item isn't it? TBH not really any different to Google paying Samsung or whomever to make their "Nexus" phones.

I don't think that's really comparable. Samsung is making a phone that only some Android fans will want. A phone that on the grand scale isn't even popular. Microsoft is asking Nokia to make there OS relevant. Don't get me wrong WP7 is a nice OS but there a huge gap between 1st place 2nd place and the 3rd place they are in

The $250 million is just a down payment. Nokia will get billions more. M$ knows that WinPhone MUST succeed and will and can spend whatever it takes to do it. They are a bulldog with extremely deep pockets.

The mobile OS war is far from over. M$ WILL still be a major player, unfortunately.

Instead of concentrating in Symbian OS, Nokia decided to make smartphones with Different OSs - Meego, Windows.... Next will be Android!!

Anyone out of the Android game will fail.

People keep saying this, but it's the same MS with the same deep pockets with the same ability to spend whatever that let windows mobile fail. Now we're supposed to believe that just because they have money and a new project after they scrapped the old one that they're bound for success? MS should stick to what they know, pc's. Even over the past year their marketshare gained literally nothing.

Wouldn't be so sure about that one... Apple crushed Android in sales the last quarter with the release of the 4S. Clearly they aren't going away and will probably do big numbers with the release of the 5 this year. AT&T Alone sold 7.1 MILLION iphones in the 4th quarter.

Nokia should have done market analysis for 'future android trends' before they would have done for this deal

iPhone is no match for Android.

iPhone is expensive, Android has cheap, medium and expensive devices.

Can't compete with that.

Well I would assume they would. 1 quarter doesn't make a year. Market share dont lie. They have 1 phone that everyone gets and camps for. Android has so many choices you don't have to wait till once a year

What happened in the past with WinMo has nothing to do with the future and WinPhone except it taught M$ a lesson.

M$ did whatever they had to do to succeed in gaming with the Xbox. They're doing it again in search with Bing. They'll do it in mobile with WinPhone. Whatever it takes, however long it takes.

When Win8 comes out and begins the transition of desktop Windows and mobile Windows into a common OS with an online app market like Android and iOS, everything changes. M$ will be able to use their 95% share of desktops and global name recognition as very heavy leverage into mobile systems.

M$ is stupid but maybe not stupid enough to fritter away such a golden opportunity that their desktop marketshare and bottomless money supply provides.

Nokia was falling.. could not market their OS... needed infusion of cash bad..
MS needed someone with mobile hardware and with market access...
the 2 were ment for each other... They have a great shot at being back in this game!!!

iphone did not out sell android!!!! it may have out sold one OEM for 1 quarter (the release of 4S)... dont be blinded by crap info online.. use your common sense.

But that's only in the USA isn't it? Where I am, I see a heck of a lot more Android phones than iPhones. The iPhone is extremely expensive and one has to commit to a stiff two year contract in order to get one(unless it's a grey market iPhone).

Yes Nokia was in serious trouble. Symbian was once the dominant mobile OS outside of the USA, especially in Europe and Asia, 60% market share I believe. But has since been outmoded by Android. TBH Symbian on a large touch screen phone is horrible to use. Hopefully now Nokia is doing Windows Phone, I might start actually seeing devices using this OS.

But then you have to consider all the countries that ruled against Microsoft with regard to anti-trust lawsuits. The days of Microsoft packaging other software in their OS in an attempt to gain a foothold in other markets is all but dead. Now if only these same governments would go after all companies (like Apple) that attempt to slap patents on everything in an attempt to squeeze its competitors then we'll be fine, "Oh we're going to sue the maker of cell phone ______ because we patented using the English language on cell phones".

so you're saying nokia would have made $250 "in a couple of years" from making a phone in an already saturated market? especially considering that they've been losing so much money in recent years?

Those anti-trust decisions have nothing to do with it. Win8/WinPhone is not about bundling software with the OS. It's about unifying desktop Windows and mobile Windows and offering an online app market for both.

The Nokia Lumia 900 looks like a pretty good phone. I wish they would come out with an Android version and then we could really see which one sells the best. But I guess now Nokia is locked into MS, with the possibility of MS buying them out.

Andima · Jan 28, 2012

Nokia has old and ugly designs, better they are not come android world.

. Probably Microsoft pay Samsung, HTC, Sony for install their OS soon.

Welcome to last year.

Personally, I hope Windows Phone does well. It'll be a spur to innovation for everyone else. I also like the industrial design of the Lumia, it's a lot classier than most Android devices - though the Pentile screen is a disappointment.

WinPhone's Playskool UI is beyond ugly - goes straight to idiotic. Worst UI I've ever seen. Failure of WinPhone would be a public service.

Unfortunately M$ $$$ will make sure it hangs around no matter how bad it is.

I'd argue that stock Android before gingerbread was a bit of a dogs dinner. Don't even get me started on WinMobile or Symbian.
