RUMOR: NOKIA TO MAKE WINDOWS PHONE 7 DEVICES

Mobile Reviewer's Eldar Murtazin is reporting that Nokia is in talks with Microsoft to manufacture Windows Phone 7 devices. The partnership would create "an entire line of Windows Phone devices that may go under the name Nokia [translated].”

Nokia was/is the world's largest mobile handset manufacturer and used the new defunct Symbian platform. Since Symbian is no longer a viable alternative the new management at Nokia is looking to other platforms or possibly a number of platforms to put on their handsets. [BGR]
