Microsoft and Nokia: Epic Partnership

Microsoft teamed up with Nokia who outsells smartphones more than iOS + Android, COMBINED..

you wazzup guyz its me, ron and im here to talk about the connivance of Microsoft and Nokia.

will Nokia follow the footsteps of HTC, LG, and Samsung? lets find out.

I know all of you guyz there are using a cellular phone. and probably, at about 50% to 60% of you are Nokia users.

why did i came up with that idea? it is because Nokia is selling approximately 260,000 smartphones a day (not to mention the non-smartphone phones.. or whatever its called.. uhm.. regular phones? >.< ). and perhaps you may be one of them. imagine.. 260,000 a day.. 1,820,000 a week.. 7,800,000 a month.. 94,900,000 a year!! with that situation, Nokia is taking the Mobile industry by Storm!

and well, YES i just found out that Nokia really has an agreement to partner with Microsoft as its software provider. here is one mockup i saw at the internet of what Windows Phone 7 – Nokia will look like..

in summary here is what both parties agreed upon:

• Nokia will adopt Windows Phone as its primary smartphone strategy, innovating on top of the platform in areas such as imaging, where Nokia is a market leader.

• Nokia will help drive and define the future of Windows Phone. Nokia will contribute its expertise on hardware design, language support, and help bring Windows Phone to a larger range of price points, market segments and geographies.

• Nokia and Microsoft will closely collaborate on development, joint marketing initiatives and a shared development roadmap to align on the future evolution of mobile products.

• Bing will power Nokia’s search services across Nokia devices and services, giving customers access to Bing’s next generation search capabilities. Microsoft adCenter will provide search advertising services on Nokia’s line of devices and services.

• Nokia Maps will be a core part of Microsoft’s mapping services. For example, Maps would be integrated with Microsoft’s Bing search engine and adCenter advertising platform to form a unique local search and advertising experience.

• Nokia’s extensive operator billing agreements will make it easier for consumers to purchase Nokia Windows Phone services in countries where credit-card use is low.

• Microsoft development tools will be used to create applications to run on Nokia Windows Phones, allowing developers to easily leverage the ecosystem’s global reach.

• Microsoft will continue to invest in the development of Windows Phone and cloud services so customers can do more with their phone, across their work and personal lives.

• Nokia’s content and application store will be integrated with Microsoft Marketplace for a more compelling consumer experience.
