Meego Ignored, Nokia is in talks with Microsoft for Windows Phone devices

This is not a rumor. The news initially emerged from "Mobile-Review.com" that Nokia is in talks with Microsoft to provide Nokia branded phones running Microsoft software. Seems like the new management of Nokia is probably very satisfied and personally like windows OS where most of the mobile users are already showing their association and convenience towards Android based phones. I think this technology exchange will not be very helpful for them.

Forget me, lets see different user’s review – people are actually not very happy with this exchange. Ideally Nokia should have considered the sales figure of already launched Microsoft windows based phones, the flat graph shows customers have much better options to buy. But interestingly, a windows based phone lover commented on it saying “Initially Android’s sales were also low, and they started rising after a span” Nice justification, but I must say there was a reason for growth. Though Android was launched in few countries and they have only one phone, but seems like 2011 will be the year of their growth. But its too early to conclude.

Interesting past is how Nokia forgot Meego. Initially, they were focusing on it and bringing it as a direct competition to Android, but became victims of delays and rumors might be management too. I loved the remarks of Lucian on unwired who concluded Meego as “I doubt Nokia will actively promote Meego to other phone manufacturers the way Google and Microsoft did it, because Nokia has a conflict of interest. They want the whole OS to be their "competitive advantage" (which as I mentioned is a mistake). And even though they want the OS to be their competitive advantage, they are willing to use an OS (WP7) which gives them NO competitive advantage. How confusing no? I bet that's the state of their long term strategies, too – confusion”
