Carlo Bozotti, CEO of European semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics, has revealed that Nokia's future Windows Phones would be powered by ST-Ericsson-powered chips, unlike all Windows Phones available to date, which run on Qualcomm's well-known Snapdragon processor.
Hot on the heels of their acquisition of Skype for $8.5 Billion, rumors now suggests that Microsoft is close to having a big deal of buying out Nokia’s mobile division.
Now the guys 'n' gals over at Nokia are getting chummy with Microsoft all eyes are on the Finnish phone giant to see what happens next. Well, what happens next is our friends over at Engadget get their hands on some pictures of the first Nokia concept phones to run Windows Phone 7.
Yes you read that right ! Its official now, and its happening. Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop has announced partnership with Microsoft on bringing Windows Phone 7 as the primary smartphone platform to its handsets. Joining him on-stage was Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer.
Reuters reports that for the first time in over ten years, Nokia's Symbian is no longer the world's number one smartphone platform. The new king? Google's Android.
Nokia surely is a bit sore and angry at fellow cellphone manufacturers like HTC and Apple. They had scheduled their annual event “Nokia World” for mid-September a long time ago and then High-Tech Computers (yes, believe it or not, that’s what HTC stands for) announces that they are holding their own launch event in London on the very same day!
