If you are reading this post, you must have read what Mr. Elop of Nokia had "honestly" stated a few days ago about Nokia's current state of affairs. He compared the company to a burning rig and for life they had to take a plunge that could either kill them or miraculously rescue.
The plunge is to build devices for Windows Phone 7 platform. I had been hoping that Nokia would rather fork or create devices for Android. The strategy sounds just dangerous. In the 90s PC manufacturers such as IBM, Dell, HP etc stuck with Windows and made huge profits/sales. May be the same works for Nokia. But the markets and consumer mindset has changed drastically. During PC days consumers just wanted something cheap and easy to use. There weren't too many alternatives except for geeky or enthusiast OSs. But these days an average phone user wants more of everything. Also, Windows Phone OS does not seem to have the perfect application/developer/platform ecosystem as iOS or the Android. For me it seems that Nokia is heading for the cold waters.. Good luck!
